Thanksgiving 2016

Here's how we spent our Thanksgiving this year...

On Thursday morning, we drove to Nick's parents house in Lumberton. 

Wayne & his kids & Maryse & Kennin also came over 

& we ate the delicious lunch that Pat prepared. 

And took some silly selfies.

After lunch, we did a quick photo shoot to try & get some pictures for our Christmas cards. (And by photo shoot, I mean that I took some pictures of the kids in Nick's parents back yard & then passed my camera to Pat to take pictures of the four of us :)

Here are a few of my favorites...

And the winners for our Christmas cards were...

After our impromptu photo shoot, we headed back home so that Nick would be ready for Black Friday.

We were supposed to drive back to town on Saturday, the 26th to celebrate Thanksgiving & Hannah's & Larkin's birthdays with my side of the family but Brooke's kids ended up getting sick. So we did not celebrate Thanksgiving with the Hoosier side of the family this year after all, only with the Stricklands. 

And that's how we spent our Thanksgiving!

Photo Shoot

Here are all the pictures from the mini session photo shoot that the kids did a couple of weeks ago...

I just absolutely love all of them!

Lately...

Here's what we've been doing the past couple of weeks...

Alex went to a friend's birthday party. There were sack races, a pinata & a bounce house. He had a blast playing with all his little buddies from school!

The kids and all Alex's play group friends had a knights & princesses photo shoot. It was the cutest thing ever! Alex is the knight in red & black.

And here's my little princess!

After the knights & princesses photo shoot, the photographer did a mini session with just my kiddos. 

(These are obviously not the professional photos, but this is right after the shoot was over. I got the photos last week so I'll try to post them for y'all tomorrow.)

I went to the eye doctor & found out that I needed glasses (just a slight prescription that I don't have to wear all the time, mostly just when working on screens or driving at night.) So Alex & I went glasses shopping. I ended up getting these.

And Alex wanted to get these!

We had a Girl Scout meeting where Addy learned about money & earned leaves to go under her Daisy petals. We also went on a field trip to the bank where she got to go behind the counter & see the machine that counts the money, deposit slips, a counterfeit bill & stuff like that. 

And of course, as I'm sure you all know, last week we went to Disney World!

(Blog posts on our trip coming soon!)
