Cemetery...

The kids went to the cemetery a couple of weeks ago to decorate Jeret's headstone for Christmas. I think they did a wonderful job, and when we went yesterday they were VERY proud to show off their work!

Thanksgiving...

We had a wonderful low key Thanksgiving at our house this year. Both my siblings, and Justin's siblings were in attendance as well as our moms.  It was so great to be surrounded by loved ones.

Great Grandpa even came and ate with us.

Crouch family with Grandma.

This girl LOVES her Grandmas.

I love these girls!

All the girls in my family. 

They were putting Uncle Greg on Facebook with their (fake) cell phone!

Mya and Whitney. I think they look exactly alike here!

Uncle Greg, Aunt Angela, and Grandma Karen.

One of my favorite guys, and one of my favorite girls!

Both these girls have great smiles!

The boys were to busy playing football to be in pictures!

We got them to agree to one!

Adds!

Love my nieces!

Aunt Angela had fun playing with the girls!

My mom her kids, and her grand-kids!

What a day to be thankful!  Truly blessed!

Most Wonderful Time Of The Year...

We started decorating for Christmas last weekend. It was so fun! We are so lucky to have three kids that loved helping. I'm so glad they are all three big enough to do it!

Cheese!

They all three loved going through everything and finding "their" ornaments!

I can't believe how long they stuck with putting the tree up. I was pretty proud of the focus they all seemed to have.

Cousin Time...

The kids were fortunate enough to be able to spend lots of time with cousins over the Thanksgiving break.  Even Claire thought she was as big as everyone else, and was able to join in the fun.  I had to work both Wednesday, and Friday (and Justin worked some too) so the kids got to have Grandma time as well.  What an added bonus. Needless to say going back to reality Monday morning was not fun for anyone.

Trees are fun to climb!

Like I said before Claire thinks she is as big as the rest of them!

Aubrey with my cousins little boy!

Love that my big boy LOVES babies! I hope that this never changes.  He did ask me the other night when we are having another baby...never buddy was not the answer he was looking for!

Bricen has sure grown, and matured this past year!

No trip to Varsity Donuts ever disappoints!

Aggieville with the Grandma's...I'm sure they will want NO part of that sentence in a few years.

Bedtime snack! Did I mention they all three got to stay the night?

Apparently Colten was hard to wake up.
Claire had to help.

These two slept in Grandma Karen's room!  I don't think she had much space.

I was told he was tired/

This picture just makes me laugh!

Friday they had a trip to the park.  The boys played football and the girls played on he equipment.

Can't wait to have them do it again!

Family Photo Shoot...

After two FAILED attempts at professional photos with Claire we finally were able to capture some new family photos! Let me tell you two is an impossible age to photograph and strangers really don't help the situation (the best we had is her picking her nose, and not looking at the camera) so I was thrilled when my brother in law said he would help!

Miss Aubrey has changed so much this past year. It's crazy!

 Claire...so much for some two year old photos! I guess we will tray again at two and a half!

 Our toothless guy!

 Family photo! Not bad at all!
