ThanksEATING 2011

 Lincoln, in his 3 year old speech, kept declaring. " Happy Thanksgiving" but it sounded a lot like "Happy ThanksEATING!" So appropriate.

 Pilgrim Hats

We have so much to be Thankful for. 

We were able to have everyone over for a FABULOUS feast.

Pa, GOGO, Tyler, Trevor, Aunt Julie and the Bunker 5

Happy Birthday! Tatum is 6!

 November 4, 2011

 Birthday Outfit from GoGo!

 Birthday Breakfast as per her request.

 After school we stopped by Aunt Diane's for a surprise cookie party!
 

 My Little Pony Extravaganza

 We decided to keep it simple this year. 

We kept it small, family (immediate) only.

Decorations were found from Tatum's toy box, and a homemade cake.

Pin the Tail on the Pony

( So glad to have an artist in the family)

Black Friday!

 Black Friday

Wasn't black for us!

We packed the whole family up and headed to the mall at about 9 am.

We did this last year and it was empty, by 9 am all the crazy shoppers were exhausted and ready for a nap. All the deals are still available and most things have even been restocked.

We parked right in front and headed to the Disney Store.

 En route, we witnessed a flash mob circle around Santa, it was amazing .

We grabbed our deals at the Disney Store and headed to Build-A-Bear for the $5 Gingerbread Boy and Girl, the kids were thrilled.

On our way home we picked up our tree, grabbed a pizza (it's tradition) and got to decorating.
