It was always a tradition growing up to go to Fantasy of Trees Thanksgiving night with Mums, Pop, Tracy, and Missy. Well, as you know things have changed in the last few years! Mums can't walk around that much, Pop is now playing Santa in heaven, Tracy- well I don't think she really has an excuse, and Missy was in Pennsylvania to see Dave's family. We have sort of done our own thing the past few years, but this year we went with my mom and dad.

Yes, she got it!

Okay, I sat her on the horse and this is what she did until I pulled her off of when the ride was over! I am not kidding, people in line were pointing and laughing!!

I think the lady at the thumb print ornaments was trying to manhandle her!

She did really well with the hand print potholders! We decided to do foot instead!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We did Thanksgiving with Rusty's family the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We did family pictures down at his dad's shop and this is the only picture I managed to get that day other than the "professional" ones! This is the 1st of the 3 cakes I made!

We celebrate Thanksgiving with my family on the actual holiday. It works out pretty good celebrating on 2 different days! This is Addie with her great-grandmother.

a.k.a. my Mamaw Margaret

Addie is sitting in the same metal highchair that I sat in when I was a baby! I thought that was pretty cool! The seat has been recovered a time or two in the last 27 years! (Not 29 Mindy!!)

Addie and Molly

Addie waiting to go to Fantasy of Trees!

Cake class!

Ashley and I took one of the cake decorating classes at Sugarbakers last month! These are our final cakes.

Ashley, I told you that if you didn't cooperate your picture was going to end up on here!! She wouldn't show me her roses, just an empty nail!

I had big intentions of doing a different cake, but this was the 3rd cake I had made in 3 days! I was all about doing something easy!! I love Frosty the Snowman!!

This is Ashley's! She did basket weaving around the edges, but you can't see it in this picture! It was sooooo cute!!

Ben wanted MORE!

Yes, I know this video is sideways! I realized it when I pulled it up to watch it. I apparently forgot which camera I was using!!

Busy Day!!

Last Sunday was pretty busy! We did family pics, more family pics, and went to see Santa at The Bass Pro Shop!

These are some of our "Pickel Family Pictures!"

These are a few taken before the annual "Williams Family Redneck Christmas Card Picture!"

The family picture won't be on here until after the cards go out!

Addie's first ride on a 4-wheeler!

Look Mom, NO hands!!

Addie and Kylah's first "Santa picture!"

Kylah got tired of waiting. This is her in line!!

Addie enjoyed watching the train go around!

Kylah wanted to pull it off the track!

Kaitlyn colored while we waited!

OOPS! I forgot pumpkins!

Mom got the girls pumpkins to carve for Halloween! I forgot to post this, so it is way out of place!! Addie picked her's out!

She really just wanted to eat it!

Molly was really involved!

No, she didn't actually get it on her!

The final product!!

Funny kid!

Mom and I went shopping this morning and took Addie with us. She did so good!! When we got back to Mom and Dad's house she layed there with her arms behind her head forever! I am not surprised though, because she stayed that way in the womb!! She still does it when she is sleeping! She was cracking up at my mom!! She looks like her daddy layed back on the couch watching tv!

I am not sure what move this is!

She wanted to stand up, but wanted to chew on her toys also!!

I love my little slippers!

My mom bought Addie these slippers when she was 2 weeks old! They crack me up! For some reason they did more last night than before! Rusty said she needed a wig with some rollers in it!
