RIDING BEFORE WALKING

Grandma Debbie bought Mister Rafe a four wheeler for his birthday (which he opened early of course). Well, it didn't take long for him to find the button and get it to go. Now he goes and goes and never stops. This is Rafe, riding the four wheeler BEFORE he started walking. Such a boy!

No worries though, he is now full on walking...and before he turned one too!

Dancing Queen

Lilliana was recently in her FIRST DANCE RECITAL! That same night we discovered that she did not get her dancing skills from her mother (or grandmother for that matter). I didn't realize the complete caos that went into these shows but it was craziness. She enjoyed it though, and I guess that is what matters. We had a mild scare at the end of the show, I mean how could we be involved in something without it? Apparently we took too long to pick Lilliana up backstage so she decided to come find us out in the audience. Oh yes, leave it to my daughter to take matters into her own hands. (eyes rolling) But we survived the first (of many) dance recitals for Miss Lilliana!


Lilliana also had a small Christmas show at her school. Grandma and Papa came to watch the little diva perform. Very cute, can't wait for more!

LET IT SNOW

Along with the fantastic Thanksgiving we got a moderate amount of snow.......and we had fun!

Lilliana thought it was funny to throw snowballs at Mommy!

Gotta love my sexy hubby!

My girl, I just love her! (even her sassy attitude)

He is becoming a little man!

Auntie loves her kids.....

Can't you tell?

Loves them so much she dragged miss Lilly up the backyard hill and back down!

There she goes!

AGAIN......WHAT AND AMAZING TIME!

THOMPSON'S FIRST TURKEY DAY........SUCCESS!

For those of you who were lucky enough to join us in the caos of our lovely Thanksgiving Dinner......here are some memories I have captured. With a full house, tons of food, and almost burning the house down it turned out to not be such a bad turkey day. In fact......BEST TURKEY DAY YET! (in the Thompson house anyways) Thanks to everyone who joined us!

Our overstuffed dinner table!

Need I say anything?

Madison and I trying to pose in the freezing weather! (still cute)

I think Bubba Rafe had a pretty successful dinner!

Wonderful Daddy made amazing turkeys!

Great Papa and Nana!

Grandma's boy!

Mama actually posed with me!

Grandpa Thompson even made it down, it was great!

This is my crazy kitchen.....pre-burnt sweet potatoes of course.

Lilliana snuck a cookie before dinner.....I totally caught her!

WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME!

Freezing Family Fotos!

A very COLD attempt to take family photos this winter was made recently. It was not a pretty site but at least we got a few. (courtesy of my mom and I) If you want any e-mailed for printing let me know.
