We actually put the decorations up the weekend before Thanksgiving. I did do a little bit of shopping today (black Friday), but still much to do. One month from today, it will all be over.
Great Grandma with the Trendley kids
my beautiful girls
Sam's meal consisted of hard salami, doritos, and iced animal crackers.
Seeger and Emma (out friends daughter). They played so good together. They played for a long time at the play dough table.
all the kids
Sophie had international day at school yesterday. It was just for the second grades. They've been studying about different countries. They got to dress up like someone from another country, so she wanted to wear her kimono that maw maw and paw paw brought back from Japan this summer. She looks just like a Japanese local, doesn't she?
Here's all the kids who were at Sydney's party minus 2. Seeger, of course, wouldn't cooperate for the picture and Emily Crass was at the ER after an injury that occurred while at the party. She thought she may have broken a bone running around in the basement, but it was only some soft tissue damage, thank God! The kids played their version of laser tag which is running around in the pitch black basement with glow sticks trying to tag whoever was it. They also jumped on the trampoline, played on the rope swing, made a craft, we had a pinata, pizza, and ice cream sundaes. 3 of the girls spent the night. So much fun!!! Sydney got lots of littlest pet shop animals, a couple of webkinz, a gift card, money, chapstick, jewelry, a manicure set and more!
Coming down the stairs this morning. Poor Syd was born right in the middle of deer season. Eddie did come home last night and went to church with us and out to lunch before heading back to the woods. 
Opening her presents with her siblings help.
Money for an ipod, which she already bought. Thanks to the Benefields in Japan for their contribution and to Grandma Nevels too. It cost $160. Her "friend" party is this Friday night at our house. She wants to play outside, make s'mores in the fire pit, have a pinata, make a craft, a play their version of laser tag in the basement.
Syd with her proud parents!
Eddie put this shirt and shorts together one day while I was at work. In his defense, he is color blind. Then Seeger finished the outfit off with Sydney's pink and brown plaid shoes that were several sizes too big, although you can't tell in this picture.
Sam in 2 of the girls winter scarves and one of Grandpa's old hats. Grandpa would have really enjoyed seeing Sam in his hat. Oh, how I miss him!
My new bling I got for my anniversary from Eddie. Pretty nice, huh? 3.1 carats TW
I ran out of room the other night, but I thought this picture was more than worthy to make the blog.

This was Jacob's tooth pillow. Aunt Carol made all the boys these one year for Christmas. June kept Jacob's and stitched "Landon" on the hat. That is one very special gift!!!
Landon's Aunt Kayla got this for him. How sweet is that. There were some wet eyes in the room when this one was opened.
