Thanksgiving #2

Today we went to Grandma Janette & Grandpa Darrell's for another Thanksgiving.  There were lots of people there!

 Showing Aunt Brenda the new camo shirt Nana & Papa got for me.

Christmas Decorations

 Helping Mommy decorate the small Christmas tree

 Playing with all of the Christmas "noisemakers"  - sometimes I have them all going at one time.  Mommy & Daddy love it!

 Helping with the lights outside

 I thought the sidewalk could use a little sweeping while Mommy & Daddy were working on the lights

 Taking a moment to be cute ;)

After putting the lights up outside, I was so exhausted!

I'm Dreaming of a White....Thanksgiving?!

Thursday morning, we had a little winter weather here.  It started out with some freezing rain and changed to snow.  Nothing major just enough to turn some things white.  It was quickly gone (by the next afternoon), but was definitely a sign that winter is here! 

 Nana Sharon, Papa Randy, Great Grandma Janette & Great Grandpa Darrell, Uncle Carl, & Aunt Shawnette & Uncle Charley came over for Thanksgiving lunch. 

Grandpa Darrell let me climb on him and do flips! 

 Mommy & Uncle Carl

All bundled up and ready to go outside!

Merry Christmas Mommy & Daddy

Tuesday (two days before Thanksgiving) our oven finally bit the dust.  So Merry Christmas to us we got a new one!  We went to Lowe's (sorry, Dave we don't have a Menard's here) Tuesday afternoon and lucky for us they could deliver it Wednesday morning so that we could cook for the family coming over on Thursday.   

 After Daddy pulled the old one out, I helped Mommy clean and get ready for the new one.

Here it is!  Never mind that I'm not wearing pants, it's a new favorite thing of mine to not wear any.  

Dollhouse

Lately, I've been playing with my dollhouse and dolls a lot.  My favorite thing is to give Dora a "bath" in the bathtub.  

Happy Halloween!

 Pretty little kitty cat

 Parker came by for a visit before we went trick or treating.  He was a dinosaur but he he didn't like the head part of his costume.                                         

            

Uncle Charley handed out candy at our house while we went trick or treating so we stopped by after we had gone to a few other houses.      

Got my bag and ready to go fill it up!

Maddi stayed at Nana Sharon & Papa Randy's Saturday night so Chris and I went to a Halloween party with some friends from work.

 Chris got to break out his high school football jersey

 Cowboys & Indians

 Monopoly Guy

Karl & Janet - he was a race car driver and she was a Champagne bottle.

Haydon Gauge Ruble

After being 9 days late, Baby Haydon was very welcomed into the Ruble family!  He weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long.  He's perfect in every way and Brandon & Cammie couldn't be any happier.

 Proud Mommy & Daddy

 Maddi was very excited about him.

By the time we left the hospital, Maddi was very wiped out. 

Emma's Baptism

Chris & I were very honored to be asked to be Emma Grace Henson's godparents.  We traveled to Hamilton, IL this past weekend for her baptism.  While we were there we got to see Logan play in a football game and we had a bonfire Bill & Elaine's.  We took Maddi to see the pigs and they were awfully loud and jumpy this time so she didn't enjoy it quite as much as when we were there earlier this year.  She also had the opportunity to ride in the combine with Uncle Cary but wouldn't get near it as soon as he started it up, so maybe next year!  Big thanks to Amanda who was so patient with Maddi as she wanted to brush her hair all weekend ;) !!!

 Such a pretty girl!

Dinner with Friends

A couple of weeks ago, Mommy & I went to dinner with some of Mommy's friends from work and their kids.  We had so much fun!

 Sharing some crab rangoons with Bobbi

 Charlie, Wyatt, Brenley, & Maddi - Of course it was impossible to get a picture with all

Charlie loved giving Baby Wyatt kisses!
