Thanksgiving

So a week before Thanksgiving we broke all the "NOT till after Thanksgiving rules" and let the boys set up the tree in their room.  Tyler had been asking to so it and Andrew and I were ready to jump into the Christmas spirit.  You would think since we started so early I would be done but I'm not.  The boys had a great time.  They did all the decorating.  Ty put the garland on the tree and him and Nolan put all the ornaments on.  Nolan had a hard time getting the hooks on the tree so he told Andrew where to put his ornaments.


We snapped some pictures before we left for Thanksgiving with Andrew's family.

I LOVE this picture.
Sweet, sweet kiddos.


Abbie and her great-grandmother 

We also spent time on Friday watching the Auburn/Alabama game.  Abbie was very happy about Auburn's win.  Isn't she the cutest thing EVER?!

WAR EAGLE!!!

Pumpkin Patch

One day after naps we loaded the kids in the car and headed to our nearby Pumpkin Patch to find out they closed about 2 hours earlier.  Drew went back to work the next day.  So I ventured to the patch the next day with the kids by myself.  We got through it without any tears or screaming.  Of course we only stayed about 30 minutes.  I had to go over the rules and expectations before we got there:  NO bounceys but we would do the train or hayride.  They picked the train ride.  The train was a tractor with cars attached and it was very, very bumpy.

Here's the boys on the "train" ride

Ty had a great time
Nolan spent some of the ride grabbing on to the side.  He is our dare devil and I was surprised he wasn't laughing the whole time.
This is what Abbie did until she fell asleep.  I wanted to get a picture of the three kids together but since she slept the whole time I gave up.
Ty found his pumpkin, he picked out a gourd.  I LOVE it!!! Thinking outside the box.
Love all the fall gourds and pumpkins.  These make me happy!

 Nolan picked out his pumpkin.  It was a little heavy.
 The boys barely fit in the wagon with all the pumpkins.  One for each of our family members.
 We went home and had pumpkin pizzas.


Nolan has really been into football he ask to watch it everyday.  I think he was dreaming about Auburn football this night.
