2013 we were in shorts, 2014 we were bundled up, and this year we were back to short sleeves. You never know what you will get with Louisiana weather! My kiddos were excited to spend the day outside with their cousins…and Momma was excited for the food ;)

Every year we visit my dad’s side of the family for Thanksgiving – this is the one time of year we get to see everyone on that side. The kids enjoy the swing set and tree house the best.

We then head to my in-laws to visit with the family there. Between lunch at my uncle’s house, and supper at my in-laws, we were stuffed more than the turkey. Jules literally licked her plate clean.

My father-in-law set up a huge tent in the yard for the kids to play. They absolutely loved bringing their toys inside and playing “camp out.” They were excited to learn this was the same tent their dad used for boy scouts!

As I was trying to snap some pictures, Kennedy, Jules, Alyse, and Luke decided to “pose” for some different shots. I was laughing so hard. They have sleeping poses, scary poses, thinking poses, etc. They are NUTS!

We are missing Harley in our family picture, but I could not be more thankful for these people in my life. God has blessed us beyond measure. Happy Thanksgiving to my virtual family and friends!

 

 

My kids are pretty easy going and let me dress them in whatever I want, so when I suggested that they dress as the Three Little Pigs for Halloween they were super excited. I put together different clothing pieces for the girls…bought pig ears, nose, & tail and VOILA! They were the cutest little piggies I had ever seen!

Easton was a little more tricky since he’s so small. No headpieces or nose would fit on his tiny head, so Mom had to get a little clever. I figured he was about the size of a small dog, so I ordered a pig costume for a dog…it fit perfectly! I’m sure I’ll get fussed for that when he’s older, but it was cute nonetheless. To put the finishing touches, I found this piggy pacifier at a costume shop that I just HAD to get!

Our neighborhood surely has grown in the past year! We’ve added SIX kiddos to the mix this year. I love seeing the excitement in their faces at these ages!

The kids couldn’t wait for the annual “hay” ride to trick-or-treat. Pappy pulls everyone with his tractor, and the kids stop at the different houses and get their goodies. (Easton and Dad stayed behind since it was a little too windy)

Can you tell my kids love to pose?

Afterwards, we walked in to see a team building exercise I had to photograph. Brother-in-law holds baby bottle so Dad can take a sip of beer…terrible!!

They collected way too much candy, but had a blast again this year. We ended the night with another photo shoot with my other model. They act like they get their picture taken a lot :/

Happy Halloween from our Boo Crew to yours!!
