Ingram Thanksgiving Get Together

Yesterday we had a late Thanksgiving get together at Daryl & Christy's house for the Ingram side of the family. As you can see from the pics below Marlee had a blast playing with Meagan and all of her dress up stuff. They kept running upstairs to change and then would come back down to parade around the room for everyone. I think this year Santa needs to get word that Marlee would really like some dress up stuff of her own.



Here is a pic before the start of the annual Ingram Turkey Run. All the guys go out and have a race. As usual, Daryl was the winner even after he got a late start.

Thanksgiving at Grammy & Papa Hoot's

After stuffing ourselves with turkery and other goodies at Mimi & Paw Paw's we then moved on to visit with my Mom & Dad (Marlee's Grammy & Papa Hoot). My Mom's side of the family all got together over there. Marlee got to ride on the golf cart with Papa Hoot so she was thrilled.
Tomorrow we will go over to Daryl & Christy's to have a late Thanksgiving get together with the Ingram side of the family. The Iron Bowl will also be on so it should be a good time especially if the Tigers could pull out the major upset. I'm not expecting them to win with the way this season has been but you never know with the Iron Bowl. We have owned the Tide the past 6 years as well as in Tuscaloosa.

Thankgiving at Mimi & Paw Paw's

We hope that everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving yesterday and got to spend some quality time with their families. We started the Thanksgiving Day festivities off at Chris' Mom & Dad's (Mimi & Paw Paw) house. We actually spent the night with them on Wednesday so we could have some extra time to visit.

Early Thanksgiving Lunch

Today, Marlee's school had a Thanksgiving luncheon and the kids got to invite anyone they wanted to come. Marlee's guests were Mommy, Grammy & Mimi. This was such a nice thing the school had set up. Of course Marlee had a meltdown when it was time for us to go and for the kids to back to their room. It has to be confusing for them when their parents show up for something in the middle of the day and then have to leave again. Here are some pictures from the luncheon.

Bark For A Park

On Sunday, we went to a fundraiser event at the future site of Birmingham's first dog park. Marlee had a blast as she is a big fan of doggies. The president and organizer of Bark for a Park is a former co-worker of mine. For all of you in the Birmingham area with furbabies in your home you can get more info. at the website, www.barkforapark.org.
On another note, Marlee is in search of a job as a toddler comedian. I swear the things this child says and does are continously cracking us up. We can act pretty goofy around the house sometimes and so now Chris has introduced our child to wedgies. From the encyclopedia website, Wikipedia, the definition is: A wedgie (also known as a snuggie, grundie, gotch pull, or mervin.) is having one's underwear or other garments "wedged" between the buttocks. Now most people do not want to be on the receiving end of a wedgie. Marlee, on the other hand, actually goes around begging us to give her a one. She was up on the bed with me last night and she backed up right to my face and was telling me to give her a wedgie. I was on the phone with mom and we were both laughing hysterically. So if anyone needs to book a comedian for a b'day party or other event we offer pretty good rates!!

Trick or Treat Give Me Something Good to Eat

Here is my ballerina princess trick or treating last night. She really had it down this year. She would go the door and give them the whole saying "Trick or treat give me something good to eat". Sometimes she would say it after she rang the doorbell before the person even opened the door. I think we went to about 10 houses and then decided to call it a night. There was one house that we had to skip becaue Marlee was scared of the smoke machine they had in their yard. I told her I would go with her but that didn't work. We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. Now Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
