November fun...

We've had a very busy November and a wonderful Thanksgiving. The Hanley's came up for a few days and we've had a lot of fun. This is a long post, but watch the video of C at the end of the post...too funny!

Kalee and Rich got on the roof a couple weekends ago to start our Christmas lights...hopefully we will put the finishing touches on the lights this weekend!

The whole family went to Kalee's Thanksgiving Feast at school. The food was super delicious, as usual...ha!!! Kalee has a new friend, Elizabeth, who joined us for lunch.

Grammie and Nana

and Papa...

and Momma and Daddy...

We've had a very laid back visit with the Hanley's...we haven't strayed too far from home this trip. Shellie, C and I have watched movies every night - some have been great (The Proposal), some not so great, but a great way to end each day! Shellie has always wanted to shoot skeet, so we brought out the shotgun today to see how eveyone would do...

Cierra shot the clay skeet on her first try! Rick connected with a couple, too...

Then we moved onto the rifle...

and then we moved onto the handgun...

Rich gave us all good instructions on the proper way to handle the guns and everyone really enjoyed the target practice.

Ok, so after the initial freak out moment we have all had quite a few laughs watching this video tonight. C did a great job of keeping everything under control and even kept the gun pointed at the ground during the excitement. I missed some of the funniest moves, but I was pretty sure she was about to rip her shirt off, so I figured I should not record it! We've all decided that she has been quite the sport for letting us laugh at the video all night...

Butterfly fairy, another Fall Fest, and the end of Cheerleading!

Kalee couldn't decide what to be for halloween this year...then finally settled on 'Butterfly Fairy'! She was super cute, as usual...her favorite part of the costume was the fake eyelashes - they were purple and black and had rhinestones. Halloween was also the day of the Florida/Georgia game, so I was a little scatterbrained in getting Kalee ready and forgot to spray the glitter spray in her hair. We remembered about halfway to our friends house and I told her that I was really sorry that I forgot and she said "that's ok, momma...I didn't really need it anyway!" Such a sweet baby girl!We also went to a fall fest at church. We invited Kalee's friend Emma and the girls had a good time!Kalee's Cheerleading 'banquet' was last week and she got her trophy. This years trophy, while super cute, is quite smaller than what she received last year. Kalee was very excited about getting a trophy, but a little disappointed that she could hold it in one hand!!! Coach Lauren wrote all of the girls individual notes on what she enjoyed most about having them on her squad. Kalee just beamed when she read her note!

I told Kalee to not even ask me to do anything this weekend! This is my weekend to veg, after a ridiculously busy October...and then we'll have to get on the ball. I am scheduled for surgery on Dec 1st and will be out of work the entire month - super excited about being out of work, but not so excited about the surgery! Anyway, my goal is to get all my Christmas shopping done this month - we'll see how it goes!!!
