A New Ornament

Each year we get a new Christmas ornament that has all of the grandchildren's names.

Here's a post from last year with older ornaments.

Here's this year's ornament. Look how wide it is since it has to have 6 names! How fun is that?!

Tag Game

I was tagged by Christy with one of those blog tag games. I'm suppose to go to my pictures and find the fourth folder and then the fourth picture in that folder and then tell you about it.

So... here it is.

It's Great-grandma Littleton with Hannah. Great-grandpa and great-grandma were here in Nashville visiting. Hannah was 5 months old. Looks like we were celebrating the 4th.

Now I'm suppose to tag others, but I may party-poop out of that part. Most of the blogs I follow are members of the Visual Arts Street Team on Etsy. We work together to promote our art and try to get more sales from our Etsy shops. You can see the VAST blog here - http://vastgallery.blogspot.com/ There are lots of beautiful original art pieces from all of the VAST artists.

Great-great-great grani and Great-great-great papa

Would you believe me if I told you I was going through some old photo albums and found these pictures of some of my really old relatives? from the 1920s?

Who knew great-great-great grani was a dancer?

Great-great-great papa was rather dapper don't you think?

Fall Festival at Hilldale

We had lots of fun with Sleeping Beauty (Hannah) and Prince Phillip (Benjamin) at Hilldale's Fall Festival.

There were giant blowup slides.

Hannah crawled up "like a turtle" (her description) and slid down by herself.

Papa carried Benjamin up. He laughed all the way down the slide.

There were games in the gym

horses to kiss

bouncy houses for jumping

and cars for trunk-or-treating

and Papa and the other pastors in a dunking tank - (someone will have to e-mail a picture to me to put it up here)

and Hannah had a pretty braid with beads put in her hair by Rochelle.
