Christmas 2011

Our Christmas tree... we went artificial this year because we found one so cheap!  Not as pretty as last year, but not as messy either.

Christmas @ my Mom's

This year we did a new fun thing!  At Thanksgiving we drew names, and had to make a homemade gift for that person to give to them for Christmas.

TJ go Dex's name and made him this awesome stand to throw a football/baseball through. 

Josh got TJ's name and made him a "Young Weightlifter's Kit" with the essentials and description of each thing.

My mom got Mr. Chris's name and made him these picture holders.

Mr. Chris got my mom's name and made her a bird house!

Cam got Josh's name and made him peanut butter and chocolate cookie dumbells!





I got Cam's name and made him this word collage with his characteristics.

Dex had my name and made me this Christmas candy dish!

Then we got our annual Christmas Eve pajamas!  Who Dat!

Studs!

 

Christmas with the Cooks!

Santa came for McKenna! Barbie Jeep!

Hannah's "Little Peanut" Baby Shower

I can't believe one of my very best friends is having a baby!  Hannah and Josh are not finding out the sex of the baby until he or she is here (agh!).  So, until then, we will call the baby Peanut.  We had a shower for her and the theme was "Little Peanut".  Everything was so cute and the shower made it so real... for me at least.  I'm sure that's been very real for Hannah and Josh since they found out! :)  I just can't wait to meet that sweet baby... Peanut will be here in April!

Thanksgiving Games

We decided to do something a little different for Thanksgiving this year.  Instead of eating an obnoxious amount of delicious food and then sitting on our big butts for the rest of the day, we decided to eat an obnoxious amount of delicious food and then go run around in the yard for a few hours! :)  THANKSGIVING GAMES '11 We were divided into teams as follows:

Turkey Birds: TJ & Bryson/Gabe

Kandied Apples: Mom & Destiny

The Gobblers: Uncle Lesley & Dex

Team Pumpkin Pie: Me & Destiny

Apache Assasins: Josh & Cam

We played a series of game, that earned us a star for each win.  At the end, the team with the most stars won a "CASH MONEY" prize!

Here are our lovely score keepers! Mawmaw & Pawpaw!

First game: Bobbing for Apples!

Obstacle Course! Put on the grey sweat suit, spin on the bat 10 times, run down and throw the football through the circle, make the bean bags into the holes, and run back down - take off the sweat suit and give it to your partner. Their turn!

Family Bingo!

Egg Toss

Sack Race

 By far, the funniest game - Chubby Bunny!

Blind Men (feading each other bananas)

Winners! KANDIED APPLES! With their cash prizes! :)

The whole gang! So much fun!
