ICE

**These pictures are out of order...silly Blogger!

On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we went to the ICE show at The Gaylord. It was a great way to kick off the holiday season.

At the end of the Grinch show, there was a huge nativity made entirely out of ice. Pictures don't do it justice.

The girls meeting Mrs. Claus. She took pictures for free...Santa's pictures = $14.95!

Karsyn perfecting her Grinch smile! (See Jim Carey as the Grinch and you'll understand)

At the entrance - Landrie was shocked by how cold it was - 9 degrees!

A Different Black Friday

The last several years I've done the Black Friday adventure...this year was a little different. We celebrated Black Friday by cheering on the Trojans!

The girls are such troopers at the games. Today we were there for 5 hours! They love to watch football and cheer for Daddy! Karsyn now loves to imitate the Haka and Landrie was watching for first downs so she could join the rest of the fans chanting "1-2-3 First Down!"

Next week, we're on to the Region Finals. I have to miss the game due to our annual Craft Fair, but I'm hopeful for another WIN - Go Trojans!!!

So Thankful!

I LOVE this time of year!! This weeks marks the beginning of so much excitement! On top of Thanksgiving, we are still in the playoffs---Go Trojans!!!

We have so much to be thankful for---our health, our home, our family, our friends and even more! God has been so good to us this year! The most notable thing has been Lamar's new job. He was brought out of a difficult situation into a great one! We are definitely blessed.

Tonight we get to kick off the holiday season with a trip to ICE at the Gaylord Texan. At some point, I need to get my tree up too!

I'm looking forward to a wonderful season full of fun family time!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all (if there are still any readers out there)!

"Family" Project

Landrie and I just finished our 3rd Family Project (AkA ~ Mommy project). She had to disguise a turkey so it wouldn't get eaten for Thanksgiving. She chose to make her look like Hannah Montana. This time it was 80% Landrie and only 20% Mommy which was nice. She did the coloring and I did the cutting.

In other Landrie news, I've found her in some really goofy spots this week. This morning after I got home from the gym, I went to wake her up and found her asleep like this.

Earlier in the week, I went to check on her and found her in her closet sitting on her shelves as a desk. Silly girl! She must have sat there for 20 minutes working on some of her "homework" as she calls any drawings.

Daddy's Biggest Fans

Wednesday night marked the end of Lamar's junior high season. We watched the Stallions win against a big rival. After the game, the girls and Daddy cooperated for some cute pictures:

Happy Halloween
