Thanksgiving

We started out thanksgiving with Laura Beth saying "bye" to one of her newest Buddies. She is pretty much "in love" with this guy, Jesse. We are to thankful to have Jesse as a new friend and Laura Beth likes him too. :)

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. We started our trip by heading to Greenville, MS. Laura Beth's Mimi and Pops gave her these overalls. We found a tractor for her to ride in with them. Thanks Renee for letting us play on ALL of your toys. :)

We hadn't been back to Greenville since we left in June. We enjoyed catching up with old friends!

The Nichols (James is the Preacher at First Baptist Greenville, our former church)

Malia Driving Laura Beth around (so sweet)

Don't let the picture fool you. These two girls are 2 of Laura Beth's favorite people. However, someone must have mentioned picture to Laura Beth and that was the end of it. UGH!

Laura Beth coloring with Kelsey Darby. So sweet of Kelsey to entertain Laura Beth.

Then, we went to Jackson. This was Laura Beth and Steve's first time to meet Gage, my sister's son. We had a wonderful time loving on him.

The men injecting the turkey. It was such a good Fried turkey!

Lou giving Gage some loving!

Laura Beth playing with Gage on his mat. Laura Beth loved laying on the mat and playing with all the dangle toys when Gage wasn't in there.

Our attempt at getting a family picture. It's rough to get pictures these days.

Papaw being a "human High chair" while Laura Beth snacked.

Gran feeding Gage.

Laura Beth loved to kiss and hug Gage. BUT she DID NOT want to hold him. Please tell me it is phase!!!

Uncle Lou giving "UNCLE LOVE"

Thursday, Gran (my mom) gave Laura Beth an early Christmas present. Aunt Gee Gee helped pick it out. We couldn't not stop laughing at Laura Beth learning to drive it. It's a volkswagon beetle bug car. I have video and will have to post it later.

On Friday, my mom, sister, and I went shopping at 4 a.m.! I got it all done though. Everything in one morning with great deals.

Friday afternoon, we got to hang out with Steve's family. We tried to get pictures BUT Laura Beth is at the stage where when ANYONE says pictures she is TOTALLY against it. You should see the one of her sitting on Santa's lap. At least she sat in some of these pictures.




Laura Beth had a GREAT time playing with her cousin Hannah Claire. They played so well together this trip. I was so happy to see them hold hands, hug, run after each other, and even sit still and eat together. Hannah Claire is a VERY sweet big cousin.

This is them playing in the leaves.

Almost caught this kiss.

Altogether, we had a great thanksgiving. We're just really tired. This is a picture of Laura Beth in her car seat (one of the many times this week) and she put her Lee Lee (bear) over her head and fell asleep. Steve and I got a good laugh out of it, thought you might too. ha!

When we got home, we went to a "boot Scoot" at Travis Ave Baptist church, where Steve works. It was alot of fun. :) If you look close you can see who the center of attention was during the photo shoot. (Can't believe she wanted to be up front in all of this considering it WAS A PICTURE!)
