Auto Expo Car Show 2011

 We went to the Auto Expo Car Show at the Convention Center in

Nashville yesterday and Madison got her picture made with Santa!

I asked her if he wanted to know what she wanted for Christmas and she

said all he said was, "Do you want your picture made?"....  she said Yes!

We are hoping she is staying on the nice list......  it is a day by day situation!  :-)

 This was the new Murano Convertible.  

The color was a little crazy!

The kids like the convertible.

Notice they wouldn't let you sit in this one!

New Rolls Royce, Grant couldn't sit in this one either!

They got to see lots of new cars and sit in a lot of cars, but there were a few that 

were off limits to everyone!  We had a good time at the Auto Expo Car Show.

Happy Thanksgiving 2011!

We had a great Thanksgiving Break!  We all ate too much and had a lot of fun!  

Here are some pictures of our Thanksgiving festivities!

Our Family Picture.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Granddaddy's Birthday was Wednesday, November 23.  

So we got him a cake and took some pictures with Granddaddy!

Grant and Granddaddy!  Happy Birthday!

Granddaddy loves fishing with the kids!

 

 They wanted to get him a this cake because it 

reminded them of fishing with granddaddy at his pond!

Carolyn and Danny with all 3 Grand kids!  They were ready for some cake!

Here is the new dock that Granddaddy is building on his pond! Grant is ready to fish!

 Here are Lilli, Grant and Madison helping Granddaddy 

put up a new flag, since the other was getting ratty!

 Granddaddy putting it up after the kids

put the new flag on it!  It looks great!

This was us riding around on 4-Wheeler.  Grant was

with Granny and Granddaddy, he missed the family photo opt!

Would have made a cute Christmas card if Grant would have hung around!

Family photo in the Mule.  Cheese!

Thanksgiving was great!

Brownies

Well Madison has decided she wanted to join Brownies....  She has a couple of girls in her class that have joined and she thought it would be fun....  So we have joined and she is loving it. 

Her first meeting was Friday, Nov. 11th and they are working on a cooking badge and they made cookies and decorated them and made a picture with food and then got to eat their creations.  They were talking about different badges they wanted to earn and fun things they want to do this year.

Sunday we drove to Cookeville and went to Tennessee Tech and meet with a sorority that was celebrating National Girls Day for Girl Scouts and they had fun activities planned for the girls.  They played games, sang songs, colored pictures and watched the sorority put on a play for them about how wonderful books are especially when you can't go everywhere, but you can read books about all kinds of places and learn about lots of things.  They had snacks and treats for the girls and was very sweet to all the Girl Scouts!  Here are a few pictures of their day at Tennessee Tech.

They had tables set up with all kinds of activities for the girls!

Madison ready to have some fun!

Some of the activities "Girl Worlds"

 

 They had to name different people in each quadrant for each purpose.

GS - they named people in the Girls Scouts group.

There was a school house and they listed friends in class with them.

They listed family members in one quadrant.

This was all the Girl Scouts that came from all over and the Sorority.

Madison trying to listen to what's going on!

They girls had a great time and on the way home we stopped at Marble Slab for a special treat!

Can you say "Late"!

Wow our life lately has been full speed ahead since Halloween!  I haven't even posted since then!  Here are a couple of pictures of Grant and Madison at their Halloween Parties.

Madison was a 50's girl for Halloween! 
I bought this outfit last year and we are getting our money's worth!

Grant was Iron Man 

They both had a great Halloween!!!
