Moore's Christmas Party

The Moore's had their annual Christmas Party last Saturday. It is always a lot of fun! The Dirty Santa game can get a little heated at times! I scored some comfy flannel pants and shower gel (Thanks to my hubby! Poor thing got a girl gift!).

Shopped 'till we dropped!

Going to Dallas the first weekend in December has become a tradition! This year, Kristy, Carrie, & my MIL came along too! We started out at 9:00 on Saturday morning, and made it back to the hotel around 10:30 that night. Then got up Sunday morning for more!!! I had so much fun with my girls! Can't wait 'till next year! :)

Here is me, Kristy, & Carrie @Celebrity Bakery in Highland Park. Yes, I had me an iced Christmas cookie for breakfast!

My mom's BFF Sherri. She lives in Dallas, so she hung out with us!

The snowman is up!

Uppercase Living has awesome Christmas stuff this year! Now, I know I am a HORRIBLE mother, but we don't decorate our Christmas tree. I have a lady that decorates it for me. I know this is sooooo not the way to really get in the Christmas spirit, but I just can't do it! I tried to do the tree one year, and swore that I would never do it again. It takes forever! I can't seem to get any of the ornaments in the right place! Oh, and the top of the tree...what a nightmare! So, I choose to have it done for me. BUT... I did find this snowman from UCL & knew Major would love it! And the best part??? I can use it again next year!

Library day is Wednesday!

Tomorrow is Library day for Major. This week, he got a "Steelers" book. He really thinks he wants to be a Steelers fan! Trey is usually the one that reads the library books to Maj...it's kinda their thing! I hope this little dude likes to read as much as I did. He really wants to learn to read! He tells us that he wants to know how to spell & read so he doesn't have to ask us anymore. One of my fellow teachers gave me a few things that 1st grade uses to teach Reading. Hopefully we can find a night & get started!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We started out Thanksgiving Day at Nene & Papa's house. We ate a ton & then got in the car & headed to Columbia to see Shauna, Josh, & the kids.

Chad & Kristy came to eat lunch with us!

We got to Columbia late Thursday night. I got a few hours of sleep (about 3!!!) Sue, Shauna, & I left the house around 3:45 Friday morning. I got most of my shopping done while we were gone. The kids played football & ran around the entire house!

Nano bought the kids Christmas PJ's so they could take a picture for her Christmas card.

We took the kids to Bass Pro to see Santa, but we got there a little late, and he was gone.

So, Saturday morning we left Columbia and drove to Kansas City. The Tigers played Kansas (and WON!!!) at Arrowhead Stadium.

After the game, we stayed at the Holiday Inn across from the stadium. It was a smaller version of Great Wolf Lodge. The kids swam all night! We sat at the bar in the pool area and watched the OSU game. WOW!!! What a game!!!
We had a great weekend with the family! Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Program

Major's Thanksgiving program was last Tuesday. He opened the play with, "Welcome to our program!" He was a pilgrim boy and said "Bang, Bang!" and they sang some cute songs.

I'm so thankful for...

My sweet boy! He decided that he wanted to make Mrs. DeWitt a picture that says, "Thank you for being our teacher." I wrote it out for him, and then he copied it onto his picture. I hope he always stays this sweet!

I couldn't get the darn picture to rotate, so it's sideways :(
