Not much really happened in November. Actually I can barely remember anything that did happen besides Thanksgiving & the two biggest college football games of the year!
Let's start at the beginning of November, shall we? We pretty much did nothing the whole month. We did get a new puppy. Her name is Charlie & she is a mix between lab & border collie (we think). She is soo cute!
Natalee & Charlie watching TV
Terry's birthday was Nov. 4. He turned the big 3-1! We had planned on going to the movies & to eat, but decided against it. Instead, we celebrated our birthdays together at the beginning of Dec. when we went shopping in Jackson.
Greenwood had their Annual Christmas Open House on Nov. 8. After work, we had a girl's night out. It was mom, Brandi, Natalee, Kerry, Sandy Rhea & me. We went all over downtown shopping. Don't think we bought anything, but we had fun browsing & snacking on all the food each store had. One local store had pictures with Santa. Natalee LOVED Santa! She went right up to him & sat in his lap, like the big girl she is!
Terry had to work Thanksgiving & Black Friday, so we celebrated with the Mitchell's on Nov. 23. They picked Natalee up that Tuesday to spend the night. We went after I got off work the next day. We enjoyed ham, turkey, dressing, candied yams, green beans, rolls, lemon pie, coconut cake and I'm sure I'm forgetting something! It was all good though! We sat around, played with play-doh & took a short nap! We enjoy their company!
Thursday, we ate Thanksgiving lunch at granny's. We decided to change to lunch instead of supper this year, since noone but Henry's famiy had anywhere to go. We had the usual, ham, turkey, sweet potato casserole, green bean bundles, cheese & spaghetti, dressing, rolls, cranberry sauce, apple salad, and two oreo ice cream pies. It was delish!
After lunch, we all sat around & talked. Natalee & I took Terry a plate at work, then I took Natalee to meet the Mitchell's in Kilmichael. We visited with the rest of the Mitchell family & enjoyed our visit. I then headed back to Carrollton! Went home, got changed & got ready for some shopping fun! I went back to granny's to eat leftovers for supper & meet up with the people I was going with (granny, mom, Debbie, Brandi & Dustin). We left around 8:30/9:00 Thursday night and headed to Wal-Mart! It was CROWDED! I needed an xbox 360, but the tickets were gone before 5 that afternoon and they were not even supposed to be handed out until 9:00 that night! So I headed to the tv's where mom was. We both needed a 40" so we got our tickets & stood in the line until midnight! Dustin & Deadra were in the line for the 32" & Brandi, granny & Debbie were getting the other stuff we needed. Mom was wanting to get Natalee a power wheels that was on sale that night but they were gone before we got there too and were not supposed to be picked up until the sale started at 10!
After we got our tvs at 12, we pretty much had the entire store to ourselves! Everyone got what they came for & left! So quiet & peaceful.... I did manage to pick up a few Christmas items for a few people. We checked out then headed to get something to eat. The others were hungry...this pregnant woman (who eats all the time) was not...especially at 2 in the morning! Since nothing else was open at that time, we sat in the Sherwin Williams parking lot (Debbie works there so it wasn't like we were trespassing or anything..especially since she had to be at work at 7!) and waited for JCPenney's to open. Granny & I had rode with Debbie & mom & Deadra went in her vehicle. Good thing too, Debbie's decided it didn't want to crank when it was time to go! So I hopped in the vehicle with mom & Deadra & granny stayed with Debbie to wait on Shane to come boost them off. Penney's was crowded but really wasn't that bad. I finished up Ryan's & Brandi's Christmas though.
After Penney's it was off to Radio Shack to get an Xbox. Yeah, they didn't have any either! They sold all of them the day before! So we headed off to Bath & Body then Goody's. I didn't get anything from either store. By this point, it was 6:00 am & I was so tired.... I went back to the truck & waited on everyone else to get finished. I did manage to take a short (10/20 minute) nap though. Our last stop was Walgreens to get some wrapping paper. I got 6 good size rolls for $4. We finally made it home about 8. I got on the couch & took me a much needed nap!
The Arkansas/LSU game was coming on tv at 2 so I had to get up & get things prepared for the big party! We had a house full of Arkansas fans & a few LSU fans, the house decorated in both teams colors & a bunch of finger foods! Even though LSWho won, Arkansas is still the better team. LSU's fans (well most of them) are too rowdy, obnoxious, rude & like to fight which is the main reason I do not pull for that team. I met the Mitchell's at the house to get Natalee & went back to moms. Natalee & Madison had a BLAST playing with each other. That was one of the first times they had seen each other in two months, but the time in September was just at Madison's b-day party. They really do love playing with each other!
Me & little Brodie man! What a cutie he is!
Ignore this pic of me...it had been a long night & I was not feeling it that day!
Woooooo Pig Soooie!
Dustin & Brodie man sporting their Razorback gear!
Natalee giving Brodie some love!
This is only the third time she has seen him since he was
born in May. Only my second!
Yummy food!
Can't you tell we got both fans in the house?
We were at mom's one Sunday night, having our family night. Natalee was in BB's bed watching a movie. Brandi went in her room & heard Natalee talking. She asked her who she was talking to & the conversation went something like this....
Natalee - "The kid in your closet." Brandi - "Who?" Natalee - "The little boy in your closet. Let him out." So Brandi opened the door & Natalee goes "Now that's what I'm talkin' about!"
Where does she come up with this stuff????
Sorry I don't have many pics of November, but I promise to get better with the new year!
