Thanksgiving 2011

Sadly, the break is coming to an end, but it was a wonderful long weekend filled with family, food, and FUN! Nanny, Papadad, and Granny came to Georgia for a visit this year to celebrate in our brand new kitchen that was just finished last week. Jack smoked a delicious turkey for us while we all pitched in the various sides and desserts. After the feast, we went to see the Muppets movie, which was too cute. Friday, we cybershopped in our pj's and then after Jack got off work we rode up to Keowee (via Commerce--hehe!) for the night.







Saturday, we got up early and drove up to Cashiers to a tree farm we've visited a few times and picked out our ENORMOUS fir. Headed into the very busy work week ahead, at least the house is decorated and we are getting ready for the upcoming holiday.

Oh, I'm Glad I'm Not a Turkey on Thanksgiving Day

This morning Max had his big Feast Day at his preschool. The teachers and kids go all out for this event. They put on a precious little performance and then sat down to a huge turkey dinner. Thankful!

Red Ponies

Kinsey's horse trainer, Emily, is a jack of all trades. She's an outstanding teacher and role model for the girls she trains. She's also a huge health and fitness buff and personal trainer. She maintains a very informative and challenging blog, redheadedgymrat.wordpress.com, and she also is an excellent photographer and has just started up her photography business, http://redponyphotography.com.

Last weekend she did some photos for us, ranging from family shots to shots of Kinsey and her favorite paint pony, Joe. I think she did an awesome job and can't wait to use her again!

Blessed Baby

What a beautiful day it was for my precious cousin, Penson's, baptism in Atlanta. It was a sweet service and all the babies were perfect little angels. After a little church reception, we hit the town and headed for Atlanta Children's Museum for a while with cousin Graham and family until we headed back to Penson's for some delicious food and fellowship celebrating his big day. We love you little angel boy!

UGA Homecoming

We had a wonderful day tailgating and cheering on the Dawgs to a BIG win at the Homecoming game today. It was a picture-perfect autumn day!

Baby Ruth

So, right now, he's not a MLB player in the making, but this guy sure has fun on the field! Here are some shots of the "less serious" side of Max. Hahaha!

More Owls

The season is winding down and the boys are making great progress. Max loved having snack tonight as he handed down the precious owl cookies his Nan made!

50's Day

In celebration of the 50th day of school, everyone at Max's preschool dressed in 50's attire and had ice cream floats and looked at antique cars.
