FUMC Thanksgiving Program

I love the Thanksgiving Program at our preschool.  It is just the sweetest thing.  And every year I am surprised by it.  This year was Macie's turn to be a part of it.  And it was precious!  I was nervous for Macie because she is so quiet in front of people.  But goodness she shined!  She was all about it, dancing and singing.  Love this kiddo so big!

November Happenings

November is always a full month for us.  We have so many fun birthdays to celebrate including Jeff's!  We have football games and outside fun.  We love November!

 Happy Birthday Daddy!

 Sometimes they can be so sweet

 Morgan was a honor student for her first nine weeks!

 Macie got a medal at gymnastics!

 Love this kiddo

This makes my heart smile.  Macie and her bestie Kate love watching the older ballerinas while their big sisters are in ballet class.

A Great Day for the Dawgs

So this football season has been a bit tough.  We love our Bulldogs and we love tailgating so when we actually win it is like icing on the cake.  And this week we won big against Texas A&M!  It was an early game so it made tailgating more fun after the win!

A Miracle Happened

I can't believe it.  I must admit, I cried.  My beloved Cubs finally broke the 108 year curse and won the World Series!  And I'm not sure who I was most happy for- them or my Dad.  My sweet Daddy is such a fan and instilled that love in the rest of us.  My Cubbies are lovable losers no more!  And my Dad is now going to have to retire his t-shirt that reads, "Just One Before I Die"!  It was a great season and so fun to watch.  I can't wait until next year!

Trick or Treat Time!

This year for Halloween Morgan wanted to be a witch and Macie a black cat.  Perfect for these two!  Morgan saw a purple sparkly witch hat and everything else was just details.  She wanted to be a pretty witch and got RoRo working hard on her costume.  And since Macie has been on a kitty kick these days, she was already in character.  It was precious!  As usual, we trick or treated with our neighborhood crew and then all ate dinner at Sam and Sissy's house.  I love our traditions!

 Cutest witch and kitty ever! 

 Love these beautiful girls

Class Party

Morgan's class had Character Day and threw a party to celebrate!  Since it was the same day as Halloween, this Momma found a book to match our Halloween costume.  So Morgan brought "Room on the Broom" to go with her witch costume!  The kiddos were so sweet and thankful for the treats we brought.  Each kid stood in front of the class and explained their book and the character they dressed up to be.  It was precious!

 Sweet Class

 Ms. Roberts and Morgan

Macie came with me and wore her costume too!  I grabbed a book about a Halloween kitty to match her costume.  And would you believe it, she wanted to tell the class about her book too!  My shy little Macie got up in front of everyone to talk just like the big kids.  What a great big sister Morgan was, helping her the whole way!

Cheering for our Dawgs

This year for Homecoming the cheerleaders did their annual clinic.  Morgan and Anne Bailey were ready to participate again!  We dropped them off and went back to tailgate a bit before the game.  It is so sweet to watch these girls on the field!  It was a beautiful day for a Bulldog win!

 Kathryn's Dad brought a cake to celebrate the girls whose birthdays are just a few days apart

This is how we spent the game: Macie slept and Morgan and I looked for the princesses!

A Ballet Birthday

Morgan had been dreaming of a ballerina birthday party for some time now.  So we got to work to make her pink dreams come true!  Thankfully her dance studio let us have it there and Cara Elizabeth came and danced with the girls.  It was the sweetest party watching the girls twirl and giggle in their tutus.  It was absolutely precious!  Macie was so excited too because she never gets to go in the studio.  She spends Morgan's dance class in the lobby.  This time she got to dance too!  It was a perfect afternoon celebrating our Morgan!

We Love Carver!

We have loved every second of Morgan's first year in the Tupelo Public Schools.  Carver has been such a great experience for her!  She loves her teacher, loves her class and thus loves going to school each day to learn.  I can't ask for much more than that!  Her grade has had two big days they prepared for where the parents could come watch.

The first was a music program with every first grade class.  They sang many songs and each class got to play a different instrument for their song.  It was an impressive performance!

The second was a barn dance!  The kids had read a book about a barn dance and learned some square dancing steps.  They proudly showed off their hard work!
