Chippy is back!

Chippy is back! 

Emily has been talking my Dad into making a lot of crafts lately.  They made the star for Mom and Dad's tree.  It's pretty awesome I think.

We had a movie day watching Polar Express and drinking hot chocolate.  They have been watching movies a lot more lately.

One morning Chippy showed up with his friend, Carolina.  She didn't have any where to stay for the holiday season so we are letting her hang at our house.

We also found a pin on pinterest where you turn a pack and play into tent by taking the netting out of one side.  I call this a #pinsuccess!

We also took Caitlyn to her first movie.  We saw Frozen and it was so good!  We were the only ones in there so it didn't really matter if they were super still or super quiet. We could just enjoy it.

It was really fun and a really cute movie!

Dance Girls Tea Party

We like to get our little dance girls together on occasion so they can play and what else, have tea parties!

Caitlyn loves hanging out with the big girls and thinks she is one of them for sure.

They decorated cookies and dressed up like princesses.

(full on cheese smile whoa)

It sure was a fun night!

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving fell late this year, at least I heard somebody say that anyway, so we went ahead and put our tree up before Thanksgiving. It's a lot of work and I'd like to enjoy it as much as possible.

The girls are so excited about Christmas!

My contribution to Thanksgiving at Grandma Joyces were these brownie pies.

We did the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning and it was so cold.  It warmed up quick though.

I finished in 27 minutes. I was by myself most of the time so I wasn't feeling super competitive.  And there were a lot of really fast people there.

Uncle Brian and Allison made it on the Today Show during their trip to New York.

We did Thanksgiving all over again on Saturday with Grandma Pat, Mimi and Papaw.  Not to brag....but the food was stinking awesome.  We had to do it up Gamecocks style since the big game was on that night.  Yes, that's a woozie.

So. good.

Then yesterday Mom came over to visit and let me go for a run in our neighborhood.  They've done a lot of building in the subdivision behind us and have a new road that loops around to this hill.  I had to stop when I got to the top and take a picture.

It was the first run since Savannah that nothing was hurting me and I am so glad to hopefully be over that hump!

Emily was feeling super cute this morning and asked to take a picture before we left for school.  She was making sure that you could see her bracelet.

And we were lucky enough for Grams to come back over today and play!

And help us make oreo balls and coat everything else I could find in the leftover chocolate.

Then I got some of this sugar.  She was snoring like a grown man.  Too sweet!!
