Thanksgiving 2008

All the great-grandkids at Grandma Taylor's house in Florida eating Thanksgiving dinner!


Great grandkids and Grandma-Anna Kate was not happy about this, and Pearson is trying to escape!

The family

She LOVED the icing!

Well, I know it's very late, but here are a few pictures from Anna Kate's birthday party. We had a great time celebrating her special day with family and friends. Aunt Linsey and cousin Caroline rode up with BG and Papa to be here for AK's special day. We had so much fun playing with everyone and Anna Kate was so sweet throughout the whole party!

Fall Festival at Trace's School

I'm a scarecrow!

Trace's preschool had a fall festival for all the classes on the Thursday before Halloween. Trace enjoyed hanging out with his classmates and playing the games, hayride, and bounce house. Daddy came along to

"The Beat"

Trace has long had an affection for a dancing skeleton that lives at Didi and Papa's house in Kingstree. Whenever we visit, he runs through the door and goes straight for the beat. We found a similar one at Walgreens the other day. Now, Anna Kate has also grown to love "the beat" as Trace likes to call it. Who would have thought that a dancing skeleton singing "livin' la vida loca" would be such a hit! Go figure!

And not to leave anyone out...

Bye Bye Crib!

Trace's sailboat-themed room!
The toddler boad bed has been over in the corner of the room since his Didi and Papa gave it to him for his bday in March! Trace wasn't ready to let go of the crib yet, so we didn't push it. One day we were hanging pictures in his room, and Trace just out and said, "I wanna sleep in my boat bed." Gerrick and I went along with it, and last night (Oct. 8) he slept in his bed all night! Yeah Trace! This is a picture of Trace in the room before we moved the crib out. What a big boy!
