Christmas preparation

Mom made T three PRECIOUS outfits for Christmas. I took her picture one morning in front of the tree at daycare to send to mom. She is too cute in them!!

 

We went to Shalane's house for cousin pictures. It is some kind of hard to get 6 kids to all look and smile in the same direction. Hopefully one of them will do!!

 

James opened a record store downtown this weekend. We went for the opening and the girls wore shorts with the logo on them. They ran and laughed and played. It was great seeing James' dream come to life. We are super proud of him!

All of us...minus T

There was a food truck outside which was pretty delish.  The girls are pictured here begging for some fries.  T and Sass were fast friends since she had food.

On the way to meet up T was quite sad that she did not have a shirt on.  I didn't see a point in picking one out...putting it on...repositioning glasses and bow only to take if off...put on another shirt...reposition glasses and bow.  So Philip said that if either of us had any WT in us that it was definitely me...

The girls loved running up and down the sidewalk.

 

Abram got his Tatum fix this weekend. They are so sweet together. She loves him and he loves her.

Opthamologist, big heads, and walks

Last week T had a follow up with the opthamologist. Luckily her vision has not worsened and she does not have to go back for a year! She is super excited about that because she FREAKS out when she's there. Literally cries the second they call her name.

I snuck a pic of her with her dilated eyes....

We all know that Tatum has a big head and unfortunately she realized it was big when her whole body fit through the chair EXCEPT for her head. Poor thing!! I snuck a pic before I helped her out ;)
I'm such a mean mom

I told Tatum that I would take her on a wagon ride and she was trying to speed the process up by bringing me my shoes....well she brought my black stiletto heels. Crazy girl!

T loves to sip on my coffee when it's cooled down.  She also had the bright idea for me to add it to her milk.  Literally she thought of it herself.  Pretty smart chick!

Thanksgiving Holiday

This Thanksgiving holiday was extra special since Matt, Jessica, and Reed came to visit. Tatum loved playing with them all and has been asking for Matt since they left.

Reed read to Tatum one night and it was just too cute. Mom and Dad loved having all of their children and grandchildren under one roof and at church together.

Matt was pretty tired after driving....

Reed and T enjoyed a little Best Buy time.

T was a little Indian girl when I picked her up from school.

Poor thing was so tired after eating so much turkey and sweets.

Road trips....

We went once again out of town!! This time to Nola again. T got to hang out with Benet and Reynolds. They had a blast running/crawling around Chris and Alice's house. They also enjoyed bath time.

The ride home Tatum was entertained by food of course.

She also asked for her blankie and cuddled. It was sweet.

Tatum also loves playing with daddy's glasses!!

T was glad to get home and has found a new love for her Rody

Fall festival

Our neighborhood has the best activities. The fall festival had face painting, hay rides, jumpies, and pony rides. T loved riding the pony. We weren't quite sure how it would turn out but she continues to talk about the "horses."

T loves the jumpies!

Juju stayed a week with us and enjoyed our fall fest too. She tried to put her ear muffs on T but her head was too big!!

 

Family pic at the festival!

T and Ava posing

We also went to the park with Lainey and Natalie. They were having a fitness festival. Elmo made an appearance. T was thrilled to see him from AFAR. But once we got close.....she got scared. But waved bye to him.

Halloween

Pebbles made her debut Halloween. Mom did a great job on her costume and she enjoyed posing for pics!

We walked around to the houses on our street with all our friends. Tatum didn't exactly say "trick or treat" but she did say something along those lines.

Tatum exchanged candy a few times as well.

Ava was a precious little bee. Pacey and Colby were pigs. Elise Clare was Dorothy. Barnes was Toto. Lizzie was a clown. These kids were too cute and fun Halloween.

Tatum was a little skiddish around the scary clown. She snuggled close when she was around.

Lizzie didn't want to hold Skill's hand but Tatum quickly grabbed it. It was presh.

Miranda's Wedding

We loaded up and headed to Lafayette for Miranda and Keith's wedding. Tatum had a blast on the dance floor. The car ride wasn't great but what can you expect.

We snuck in a family pic.

Caiden was very interested in Tatum. He kept asking where his cousin who wears the glasses was.

Mama Nell and Papa Dig were the last couple dancing on the dance floor since they have been married 64 years

Tatum loved watching Miranda and Keith dance....and dance herself!

T and Daddy got to do a little dancing together too.

School

T loves her school. She loves to paint as well. The other morning she noticed the paint was already out and preferred painting with her teacher over eating her breakfast.....HUGE!!

Here she is with her teacher painting a fish.

Grant is trying to check out the situation.

Here are also some of the morning pictures I've snatched lately....

Mom made this PRECIOUS outfit for T and Lizzie. 

Smiling for the camera!

Love....Love

Tatum thinks she is making coffee here. 

She loves to get my attention while we are driving in the car with the radio on....and do this....

Nola, food, and a party

This weekend we headed down to New Orleans. Philip went to the LSU game with Chris while T and I played in Nola.

We enjoyed lots of food. T had her first Pinkberry and her first beignets. She enjoyed them both. She kept sticking her finger in the powdered sugar and licking it again and again.

We shopped down Magazine and hit up the mall.

We roamed around Whole Foods where Tatum pointed out every pumpkin in the place.

Sunday we headed home for Ava's first birthday party. It was themed pumpkins and pearls. April did a great job and T had a blast.
