Thanksgiving




Even though we missed our "California Family", we still enjoyed our time together. Kathryn and Jim's house proved to be the perfect setting to enjoy time together both indoors and outdoors. We especially enjoyed the outdoors with the warm weather that the holidays brought. It looks as though our MeMe enjoyed being outside as well!


While family was strolling on the driveway, Sawyer decided to became a "real man" and check out the woods! With a little help down the steep hill from mom and dad, he was able to become the adventuresome boy he is!
Plus, with a little help from Aunt Bethany,

he was able to venture down to the creek.

Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without family to talk with, too much delicious food to eat (including a chocolate fountain, a new addition this year!), naps to take, and... a Ping Pong game only fit for a Petty to play
!
Unfortunately, I never snapped a great shot of cousins Sawyer and Zoe together. However, once they checked each other out, they each decided the other was A-okay! Dancing, hugging, and giving out kisses seemed to be the favorites. As the last night came to a close, we ended with a campfire.
A preview campfire for MeMe to enjoy and then a "real" campfire down at the pit. Once again, another day to give thanks for the wonderful family I have.

Charleston, SC

Charleston, SC from Aunt Bethany's point of view:
Since we had off from school for Veteran's Day, I decided to tag along with the family to Charleston. I rode down with mom and dad where we met Phillip, Jammie, and Sawyer. While Phillip and Jammie were busying attending/being in a wedding; PaPa, GiGi, and Aunt B got to babysit! Before we could head to the beach, Sawyer had some "hotel business" to take care of:


We spent lots of time dancing, reading books, strolling the streets, playing "hide and go seek", playing on the basketball court, and other things we aren't allowed to tell the parents!
The weather was beautiful and we were able to all go for Sawyer's first beach visit!

New place- #2

Here are a few more pictures I forget to include in the last post. Plus, I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to my parents and Travis for helping me move. You wouldn't be looking at such a great place without them!




New Place

Many of you asked, so I thought this might be the easiest way to share pictures of my new place!

Here you see a nice, clean kitchen (no mice included in this one!)
