Christmas Parade 2012

 

I am not sure what the requirements are to be in this parade, but it is very long, but fun.  The kids never get bored watching the parade.  It was 70 degrees and beautiful.  Santa finally came after 2 hours!!!

 

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, we were here and had the Thompsons, Judith and Bill and girls, my Dad and Karen and Aunt Velma.  It was a beautiful day and girls had a blast with cousins.  We were so honored to have everyone here.

 

Pre-Thanksgiving at Orange Beach

We went to Orange Beach the week before Thanksgiving to celebrate with Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Charlie.  It was a little cooler than a usual beach trip, but the girls still got to catch crabs, kayak and a little beach time. 

 

Character Parade

 

Kindergarten were all dressed as owls.  Emma Claire was dressed as a chef for one of her reading books.  This is a very cute thing that they do at Mooreville each year.

 

 Yes, she had on her purse during the parade!!

Halloween 2012

I think we had a princess and a cowboy (although this is normal every day dress for Farrow Kate)

 

 And we came home with 2 huge stuffed animals....just what we needed.

Holly Farms Field Trip

Once again, I was honored to get to go on a field trip with my sweet buddy.  She smiled from ear to ear the whole time.

 

 This is her big buddy, Addison

Farrow Kate rocked at this race.  Everyone wanted her to be their partner!!!

Emma Claire turns 7!!!

 

In usual Thompson family tradition, she celebrated all week.  She woke up to flowers from Daddy on her birthday, had a celebration at school, at soccer, family in town, and a tie dye Charlotte's Web party on Friday complete with a stay in the "shotel" that night with indoor pool.  What more could a gal ask for.

 Tie dyeing shirts.   Thanks for your help Tata and Grandmommy.

 Making bracelets.  Thank you to Gramsby and Papa T



Pumpkin Carving

This year, Mama got to try out her carving skills since Daddy wasn't here.  Not too bad for the first time.  Unfortunately, Emma Claire fell and spread the pumpkin seeds that they had worked so hard to get out all over the yard.  Guess we will cook those next year!!

 

Field Trip to Memphis Zoo

 

I was priveledged to go with Emma Claire and her class to the Memphis Zoo Friday.  The weather was perfect and the group of girls we had were so sweet!!  I wouldn't trade that time with her for anything.

 

In Action!!

 Poor FK doesn't stand a chance in height!!
