Friend visit

 

When in Jackson, we got to catch up with some friends (and mighty cute girls).  We also saw Beth and kiddos but forgot picture!!

  If once a year is all we get, that is better than nothing!!

Fifth Grade program

 

It was something to do with the Polar Express.  I never did quite get the gist of it, but they had fun.

 

Snowflake Classic

Farrow Kate's little gymnastics place put on a performance for Christmas. It was too cute, and as you can tell, she loved performing.

 

Lawndale Christmas program

This year the girls got to be in a Christmas program at church.  Thanks to Mrs. Hayley, this was an exciting first for us. 

 

Christmas baking

I'm not quite sure why we are baking in our princess dress, but it works!!!

 

Thanksgiving X 2

 

This year, we got to celebrate with each side of the family.  I LOVE family time!!! There are a lot of Grandchildren (and yet we still don't have one to carry the "Thompson" family name).  Yes, Tara's crew always has someone with crutches.  The ones of the Thompson side were taken at Grandmommy and Beep Beep's beautiful and cozy new home.

 

Second Grade Field Trip

To Oren Dunn we go again!!!  It was much colder this day but fun!!  I love seeing her amazement at all the olden ways.  More than anything, I love spending some one on one time with any of my girls.

 

Halloween 2014

Two fifties girls, one Elsa and one Ariel

 

EC turns 9!!!

 

As is custom, she celebrated for days.  She had a cake at school with the whole cafeteria singing.  She then took some friends, sisters and cousin to Gramsby and Papa T's campsight at Tombigbee State Park for a very fun "camping" party.  NO...we did not spend the night!!!  Then she and her sisters and Callie went to the hotel with Gramsby and Papa T.   She had birthday breakfast there and the next day at home.  I would say she turned 9 in style.  She is hanging on to one more year of single digits. 

 

 

 

First grade field trip

 

We went to Lost Corner Farm on a beautiful day.  We went on the longest hayride I have ever been on.  The kids thought we were riding the hayride back to school!!! Ashtyn got to ride a horse and see fun animals....and of course we came home with a pumpkin. 

 

50s party

What does "50s" mean to a 12 year old????....."It means you dress like an old woman"  Oh Boy!! Once I explained how they dressed in the 50s (by googling pictures), they were all excited. 

 

Third grade field trip

 

For 11 years of living in Tupelo, I have never been to the Oren Dunn Museum, but I got to go Friday.  It really was cool....especially going with this gal!!!
