Gobble Gobble

Wow, how can it be Thanksgiving already?

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on who you ask, the camera was acting up and most of the photos taken were blurry, so there aren’t very many to show.

We are glad that Lynnette and Bill hosted and Mom & Dad & Grandma P came, and Cherie and Brett came from Redding.  The only one missing was Adam & Leslie and their family, but they went to Utah this year.

 

Of course there was a lot of gaming going on….

Cherie and Brett posed so graciously for me..But one of Cher’s foster kids is in the witness protection program, so I had to crop out his/her face….

 

 

The kids loved playing outside riding bikes and scooters……

We all had a wonderful time and yummy yummy food!  It was a very lovely T-Giving!  Thanks everyone!

Happy Bday Jacob!

We celebrated Jacob’s 10th birthday!  Wow..he is gettin old!

Grandpa and Grandma and Great Grandma were able to come over and we ate cake and ice cream and Jake opened presents.

Grandpa didn’t want to get “red eye” so he made sure to close his eyes:

Grandma was a little cold and a little warm, so she left her jacket on half way. And she was showing us some magic tricks with her hand. She has really picked up quite a bit of magic tricks and she is really good!  She put on a good show for us!

Great Grandma was a little quiet, but we were so glad to have her come!  We love it when we get to spend time with her!

Jacob got a seat cushion for school. (His teacher actually recommends the kids get something like this to sit on).  Now he won’t have a sore butt every day.

He got a really cool remote control helicopter from Grandma/Grandma that he flies all over the house…

Hannah gave him some special toys that she thought he would like playing with.

He got a special card and letter and some money from Grandma/Grandpa Bingham that he pooled together along with mom and dad’s money for his birthday to get his next present.

His next present he really really wanted was this Razor Rip Rider 360 scooter that we had to order.  He helped pay for it with money he got for his bday and from money he’s been saving.  Since we had to order it, we only had a photo of it.

Of course, we had the spanking train too.

It finally arrived! Jacob has been checking the UPS Tracking to see where it was. He’s been playing with it ever since!

The Many Faces Of . . . . .

MEGHAN!

Meghan and her friend Lexi were up in her room one night, and Meghan was practicing making faces.  They were sitting in front of a mirror and took photos of themselves in the mirror.

You see, she is taking drama in school, and they are studying a section right now about how you can change your whole demeanor just by changing your face.  So to get an A out of the class, Meghan went to work showing us all the different faces she can make. You can see that Lexi is not in the same class, as she isn’t as good at this “homework” as Meghan is.

Which one is your favorite?
