Thanksgiving 2015



Presley had her Thanksgiving Feast at school and I was invited to join her!



We went to Jacksonville again this Thanksgiving and had so much fun as usual!! We took some pictures of the kids on Thanskgiving morning.



Mikey took Bentley out to see the cows. As Mikey was taking the picture, one of the cows came right up to him. It was so cute.



From pickup trucks, to golf carts and even tractors, Bentley was in Heaven all weekend!



The cousins had so much fun together!!



Bentley took to one of Uncle Bruce's ducks and carried it around everywhere. He even fed it.



Aunt Alanna worked her magic one day and got Kiley and Bentley down for a nap...and in the same bed!!



We had so much fun spending time with our family who we love so much. We had a delicious Thanksgiving meal. The girls went shopping and the boys went golfing on the day after Thanksgiving. We had a small bonfire and we played catch phrase one night and laughed so hard!! Let the Christmas season begin!

Kiley's 7th Birthday!!



Kiley's 7th birthday was so special. We did all of her favorite things and her excitement and reactions were absolutely priceless. The weekend before her birthday, she came and sat with me during quiet time and fell asleep in my lap. She hadn't fallen asleep in my arms in years. It was so precious.



Her actual birthday was on a Tuesday, so after I picked up Presley and Bentley from school we went and picked up Kiley early from her school. We met our friends, Stacey and Jax, at Pump It Up and they had a blast!



While we were at Pump It Up Daddie came home and got the rest of the birthday surprises set up.



Surprise number one: Kiley loves watching Surprise Egg videos on the iPad, so I wrapped all of her presents in plastic eggs and play doh. Mikey turned kids music on and she went right to town opening her presents. The video is absolutely priceless. Here are a few pictures of her opening the eggs. Each time she opened an egg, she yelled out what it was (bandaid, doc mcstuffins figurine or play doh), then she would throw her hands up and do a little dance. It was so cute.



Surprise number two: Daddie surprised her with a Big Wheel and 7 balloons!



The kids ate Kiley's favorite foods. Pizza as an appetizer and macaroni and cheese for dinner.



We sang Happy Birthday to Kiley over a chocolate chip cookie!



And then she danced her little heart out.



Celebrating Kiley's birthday with just the 5 of us was so much fun and truly memorable. Her joy melted our hearts. The weekend after her actual birthday, we celebrated with the rest of the family! Marmee and Guy gave her some super cute outfits and cute shoes and Grammy and Grampy got her...wait for it...Her very own iPad!!



Thanks to Marmee, Guy, Grammy, Grampy, Mycah, Katie and Trey for helping us make Kiley's 7th birthday extra special just like she is!
