November

Early on in the month, Chip and I went over to Max and Leigh's to babysit while they went down to MSU with my Dad and Winnie to watch the Alabama/MSU football game. We had a fun time with the four girls. They play VERY well together and they are SO easy!

Lilly Grace had recently lost her front tooth - she was VERY proud of that hole!
All 3 of the little girls LOVE Curious George - they would PLAY PLAY PLAY and then one would sit to watch George, and then the others would migrate over that way soon enough.
Here they are - entranced! I took SEVERAL pictures and the flash didn't even phase them!
Emmie watching George - the other three were downstairs with Uncle Chip (see below...)

Here they are putting together a puzzle. Jo LOVES LOVES LOVES puzzles and she and Annie can do them pretty well, but they really need Lilly Grace's help - Jo's daddy decided to step in and help out too!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my brother's house. They have an awesome swing set / play set in their backyard and Josephine calls it their "playground". She told us that morning she wanted to go to "Uncle John's playground". It was really cute! She LOVES it on their slide and swings.
First slide of the day! A few days later, she got to go over for the WHOLE day while her Aunt Leigh babysat - Jo said she had a GREAT time playing, but she got a "boo boo" on her "booty" from the slide - so now she says she likes the swings better. Funny girl.
It's hard to get good shots of kids - especially when they're swinging! In this shot, you can REALLY tell how much Jo loves to swing! :)
Annie with her Nana.
Grandma and Grandpa getting some pictures of the children...
Max / Uncle John - FIRST time carving a turkey! He did a great job - although I know he was skeptical being as it seems everyone makes it out to be such a difficult task. No sweat!
My Uncle David brought goodies for the family - one of the treats he brought with him was malted milk balls. The girls got in to them right after dinner. Up until the candy, they had been playing and laughing (and squealing/screaming) and then, all of a sudden, they got really quiet. When we went to go see what they were up to - this was the scene! Two girls stuffing their faces with CANDY!
Annie and Emmie have a hot wheels race track in their room and they were all 3 taking turns and shooting the cars across the room - can you tell Jo enjoyed it?
Annie taking her turn as Emily watches to make sure she does it correctly!
Emmie really wanted to take a picture - she loves looking at herself in photos. What girl doesn't!?
