November

Sweet best friends

 Surprise lunch with my girls!

 Price loves painting nails. She will paint mine, yours, hers, anyone's! Sometimes we will be walking out the door for school and she will tell me she can't leave until she has painted her nails. She is a MESS! I love watching her though, and I love that she is such a girlie girl!

 The Toys R Us catalog arrived, so James was occupied for at least an hour circling everything he wanted for Christmas!

 Football game! I threw a wedding shower for Samantha in the grove before the Arkansas game. It was great and fun and everyone loved it.

 We all just adore Mr. Mike, but this little girl may have the most love for him out of everyone! It was precious seeing them walk hand in hand through the grove. What a sweet relationship they have.

 Morning cuddles....such peace.

 Grafton's class did a big Veterans Day Program this year and it was quite impressive. They invited all Veterans to come and honored them throughout the morning. It was wonderful to watch.

 Fun night with friends!

 camo day at school!

 We put up the Christmas tree in mid-November so that we would have plenty of time to enjoy it. Seeing the kids faces light up with excitement is always a highlight of my year!

 Price's Thanksgiving feast at her school was a joy!

 His black eye was healing, he had a busted lip, and he got a new scratch on his eye....but his first school picture could not have been more PERFECT! I love this boy with my whole heart- from his energetic attitude to his rough and tough personality to his precious, sensitive heart.

 Sweet Grafton took an awesome 1st grade school picture- she always has such a precious smile and her eyes are the window to her soul. Her cheerfulness and love for life are evident in this picture- I just love it!

 Toothless!!!

 Pop and Kim brought Christmas early to the kids. It was nice getting some presents early- it gives the kids time to enjoy them before they get more in December!  They had a blast unwrapping and playing!

 The last football game of the year....always bittersweet!

 Our elf, Snowflake, came right before Thanksgiving! The kids were thrilled. He even brought them presents....new Christmas pajamas!!!

 Price's first movie....Peanuts! How appropriate!

 I took the kids to Memphis during Thanksgiving break, and they had a blast playing on the playground we always go to. They were too cute enjoying each other!
