What a Happy Thanksgiving I had!

Wow what a long, fun holiday! It started last Wednesday by mommy coming to pick me up early from daycare and heading out to the airport. That's where we met Grandy and JuJu. They picked us up "on their way" to Greenville. I put my headset on so I could hear everyone talking.After being in the air for a bit, I decided to take the headset off and take a short nap. Once we arrived in Greenville, mommy, JuJu and I went to Nona's, then out to eat.

Thursday we got up and headed out to Grandmommy's (Grandy's mom) to have Thanksgiving dinner. There was tons of food. After we ate, Grandy and I took a nap. Grandy used me as his excuse to take a nap.

Saturday was the big family gathering at Nona's to eat Thanksgiving dinner. The WHOLE family was there except for Uncle Bill (he was sick) and daddy (he had a game). Mommy didn't want us to miss out on seeing everyone, so we skipped the game this week and watched it online at Nona's instead. Thankfully we beat DSU and get to play NW Missouri in the semi-final game this coming Saturday!

Here are the 9 grandchildren in the family. Notice mommy is the only girl.

Here are the 9 grandchildren with their babies and Nona

and here is the whole family (excluding spouses). Nona, JuJu, her 2 sisters and brother, with their babies and their babies' babies.

Since we were taking pictures, everyone got a 4 generation picture. Here is mine with mommy, JuJu and Nona

Ok so we finally went back in from taking pictures and I was thirsty! Aunt Brenda let me drink from her red cup. I thought it was soooo funny!

When I was done drinking the water, I played with cousin Bella. She's gotten so big!! and I'm so happy I got to see her!

Sunday ended our long holiday weekend. Grandy flew us home early, so mommy and I rested Sunday afternoon, then headed up to daddy's office to visit him for a bit while he was working and getting everything in order to beat the Bearcats this Saturday!

Lions keep rollin!

Saturday the Lions played Valdosta in round 2 of the playoffs. Before the game, mommy and I went on the field to wish daddy good luck and of course take pictures.... Then mommy and I went out to the rv and tailgated some.

All my friends were there and then Leo showed up...we got a group shot. Jenna didn't want to play with Leo tho, so she's missing.

After a 37-10 win over Valdosta, mommy and I went on the field to congratulate daddy...and of course take ANOTHER picture.

Now we play Delta State this Saturday in Cleveland in the 3rd round of the playoffs and for the regional championship. Wish us luck!!

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and a fun time with your families!

Making deals with mommy

Ok so mom and I made a deal. I HATE putting my coat on. I pitch a fit EVERY morning when mommy makes me, so this morning she made a deal with me. She said if I would wear my hat, then I didn't have to wear my coat since I had a heavy sweatshirt on. I said ok. But she didn't let me see the hat before I agreed :-(

dang them Eagles!

What an exhausting weekend! Saturday, mommy and I rode in the RV to Livingston, AL for daddy's last regular season game against West Alabama. I sat and watched the WHOLE game this time...in the cold! Tho mommy had me wrapped up in my warm coat. It was so poofy that my arms wouldn't lay down...she said I looked like the kid on the Christmas Story. I'll be sure to watch it this year to see what she means. So I stayed up late and eventually fell asleep on the way home. We got home around 1:00am, but I never woke up while being transported from vehicle to vehicle then to the house. Then I slept late Sunday morning for mommy and daddy. We all slept till 8:30! I was still tired after sleeping that late so I took a 3 hour nap that afternoon, which got me good and ready for my Christmas pictures later that afternoon. Yes that's right...mommy made me take MORE pictures...wow how many does she want of me! Whatever, I'm a good sport and just smile for the camera...I'm a pro at it now.

After taking Christmas pictures, we went to the Arrington's to watch the Giants vs the Eagles. Daddy and I made sure to wear our apparel and cheer them on, but unfortunately it didn't work. Our Eagles lost 36-31. But check us out anyways enjoying our beverage of choice.

So an update on daddy's team...We ended the regular season ranked #2 in our region, so we get a bye for the first week of playoffs. Yes that means family time this weekend!! Then on the 22nd we will host the winner of Valdosta and Carson Newman. Wish us luck!!

How do you eat your oreo?

Last nite I had spaghetti for supper. Mommy usually lets me feed myself so I can "learn", and I actually prefer to do it myself. Guess what I had for dessert!! She gave me an oreo cookie. I fed it to myself too and it was yummy!

Good thing Daddy wasn't home...he may have had a heart attack if he would have seen the mess!

Happy Halloween!

Look what I got to wear to school today!

Yep I'm a cuddly Lion! When I got to school, Ms. Gail was dressed different and I didn't recognize her. She was a witch, so I wasn't so sure about staying today. She took her hat & hair off to show me it was her, so then I was ok to stay.

Brrrrr

Saturday was our homecoming game against Valdosta. There were tons of people everywhere! I told mommy I wanted to stay for the whole game this week cause I knew daddy would love my support. This was my first cold football game to sit thru and I think I handled it pretty good! After a couple minutes in the 4th quarter, mommy asked if I was ready to leave...I told her we could since it looked like we were going to pull off the win. Go Lions! We won 41-23! On the way home, JuJu took some pictures of me cause I looked cute all bundled up. See the pumpkin blanket Mrs. Andi let me borrow?
