Christmas Happenings

We all went to Bass Pro Shops last weekend, as we have done the last few years, and it was just as much fun as it always has been.  Little Jake was wide eyed trying to take it all in.  Priscilla and Jackie both love it there and we ended up staying for several hours.  We started off with lunch in the restaurant.

Jackie and Papa playing a game while waiting for their meals.

Jake loves to color.  His little hands look so sweet!

After lunch Mrs. Santa was posing for pictures, but Jake wanted no part of her.

  

The carousel was a big hit!  Jake loved it and would point to it and say, "Weee."

Next stop was making ornaments with Daddy.

The best of many attempts at this shot.

Tried to get one of the three kids, but someone was not too cooperative.

Papa helped Priscilla write a letter to Santa.

  

Daddy and Jackie at the archery range.

Next in line for the Santa picture.

The meeting with the big guy.  Jake did not enjoy this moment.

Some of Mom's Christmas mice.

The new Christmas mouse blanket on Mom's chair.

My tea table (sewing cabinet) that sits next to Mom's Chair.

The treasured Christmas Caroler!  She was originally a member of a threesome and is now the only surviving member.  The group was a constant on our mantle when we were growing up.

Priscilla's Fourth Birthday and Thanksgiving!

This little Princess was really excited for her big day!

She is absolutely in love with all of the Disney Princesses right now.  That made birthday present shopping easy and a lot of fun.  Notice the stack behind her.  A few weeks ago I was shopping at the Disney Store and they had all of the Princes on sale.  Luckily, I had the package of the Princesses in the trunk of my car, so I ran out and took a quick peek to see who I needed.  So now, for an added bonus, each of the girls has the matching boy to go with her!

You can see she was quite pleased with the selections!

This little sweetie had a wonderful day!

I spent a couple of days at Debbie's house sewing and she came up with the applique for the shirts when she saw the fabric I was using to make Thanksgiving skirts for the girls with.  it Really makes the whole outfit darling!

Buddy was wearing a matching shirt under his flannel, but I never did get a picture of it opened up. 

Such a happy Thanksgiving!  I love this picture!

Nate and Tabi were up in the mountains at their cabin for Thanksgiving and they came by so Tabi could go Black Friday shopping with Michelle and I after dinner.  We got in a couple of cute pictures.
