Snow, sledding, lots of fun!

This is a long blog post, but we have had a lot of fun things happening in Pennsylvania while we've been here.

Here we are helping Papa bring in the firewood to keep the house warm.

Sledding at John and Eileen's house.

Megan got her turn, too!

Last Thursday was a busy day! We went to school, and then Megan got to ring the bell with Grandaddy. Since she was sick the day after Thanksgiving, she asked Grandaddy to sign up one more time so that she could ring with him. The two of them took a one-hour shift, and then Grandma came for an hour shift, and we both helped Grandma. No pictures of that one! Daddy picked us up from the house after that, and off to the mall we went. Mommy's 4th/5th and mid-high bell choirs were ringing that night, so we went to the mall, had Chick-fil-A for supper, looked really fast in Lane Bryant for a present for Mommy, and then went to hear the bells...but what to our wondering eyes should appear? An indoor playground to keep us of good cheer! We're realizing this year that there's a lot of busy time related to Christmas, so we're sleeping a bit more when we can. Hope you're having a good season, too!

Erin made the paper after all!

-Another great one by "the master," Jonathan Chick.

You don't have to be a grown-up to volunteer!

Grandaddy and Granma's Sunday School class volunteered to cover the Salvation Army's position in front of one of the doors at Wal-Mart for Black Friday. Grandaddy had a shift from 12:00 to 2:00. We were invited to help with the ringing. We're sad that Megan got a bit of tummy sickness on Thanksgiving afternoon and couldn't go. Maybe next time...




This one was taken as Daddy drove off, and you can't really tell, but that's Jonathan Chick from the Valdosta Daily Times. Will Erin be in the paper tomorrow?

Ballet, Gymnastics, Thanksgiving Feast and Pumpkin Pie...

That's a big title, but it says everything about what is going to be in this post. First we start with Erin's ballet and tap class. She had parent observation the other week and here are a few shots and movies of her class.

Here is our Thanksgiving Feast at preschool.

And finally, we helped Mommy make pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. It was so much fun!

Happy Fall Y'all!

OK, so here are pictures of us at our school's Fall Festival. Sorry, there are no pictures of Halloween. We weren't listening to Mommy and Daddy very well on Saturday and they told us if we didn't listen, we couldn't go trick-or-treating. Well, we didn't get to go, but did see lots of people in their costumes 'cause we helped hand out candy at Dawn & Javon's house.

Decorating pumpkins.

Megan's homework for school. Had to decorate a feather to add to a turkey.

Some birthday pics, fire station pics and our pumpkin!

OK, so this post has a few different subjects, but it works. On Monday, Erin went to the Fire Station with her class and Megan went on Tuesday with her class. Not so many pictures of Megan cause she got clingy and didn't want to do anything.

So we'll start with a few birthday shots.

Here is the Fire Station.
