TREE LIGHTING IN DOWNTOWN OKLAHOMA CITY

Everyone went downtown last night to see the tree lighting. Tracy's company sponsors it. We had a cold spell come through over night, so it was cold. You can tell it was cold by the way everyone is bundled up. Carter and Karlie even got their picture taken with Santa. Karlie was not afraid of him but had decided she was not going to smile. Maybe I will have that picture of them with Santa to share later. Carter and Karlie

YESTERDAY

We went over to Tracy's house yesterday. The cats all ran when we came in but Mimi eventually came out. She would not let Carter and Karlie pet her though.

She finally ran and hid under the entertainment center and they are trying to get her to come out with treats. She would come out just enough to  eat her treats.

Michelle had us take their family picture for their Christmas card.

Pictures tomorrow of the trip downtown to the tree lighting.

OUR THANKSGIVING

Michelle and family arrived from Kansas City on Wednesday. It was a beautiful day here on Thanksgiving Day. The temperature was 76 degrees. The kids played out in the yard while the turkey cooked. Tracy made a carrot cake from scratch. It was really good. Tracy gave Karlie the spatula after she finished frosting it for her to lick. Karlie thought the frosting was really good.

Carter is eating his turkey drumstick. I think all he ate was the drumstick and some rolls. Karlie is a good eater.

KARLIE TURNS THREE

Karlie's birthday party was a success. I think Karlie really enjoyed it and had a big day. I know that Abby did also. The party had a Dora theme. Dora is Karlie's favorite. Karlie said all she wanted for her birthday was a Dora cake and Dora balloons. I think she kind of enjoyed all the neat gifts she
received though.

Michelle rented a bouncing house for the kids. They really had fun playing in it. That is where they stayed for most of the party.

Lots of good food to eat. I didn't get a picture of all of it.

This big Dora balloon was a big hit at the party.

No, neither Karlie or Abby drink from a bottle. There was a six month old little boy at the party.

CARTER AND KARLIE'S HALLOWEEN

Carter was Darth Maul from Star Wars and Karlie was a Princess.

This little boy and girl was a bride and groom.
