Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, we went to Austin and spent a week with Clayton's family. We all stayed together in his parent's house with all 5 of our children. It was so much fun to all be together. This was our second experience with Camille sleeping on a pallet. She moved around some, but did great. I think we're getting close to a big girl bed! The kids had a blast playing together and learning to share some of the favorite toys, the stroller and pow pows. We really enjoyed our time there watching movies, playing games, shopping at midnight, baking and eating! Here are all the kiddos in their matching PJs from Bubbie!

They also enjoyed helping Bubbie fix brownies and fudge! Those spoons look good!

Go, Team, Go

Camille and I bundled up and went to Zach's Playoff game while Clayton went to a men's campout. This was their team's first year in the playoffs in around 10 years...it was a big deal! They had a huge community pep rally the night before at their stadium. Camille and I met my aunt, uncle, cousin and the cheerleading squad at Chick-Fil-A before the game. Although they didn't end up winning, it was a great game and we enjoyed it from the front row! Camille practiced "Go, Zach" all the way to the game and she loves yelling "Touchdown" with arms up and "Go, Go, Go" whenever she sees football. I had her hat on her, a scarf wrapped around her neck, her jacket on her and a pair of my gloves on her hands. Everything lasted most of the game except the gloves. When she stood up to clap, she couldn't hear it so she lost the gloves quickly. The next week we went to Target and I found some mittens her size. When I showed them to her she said, "football game?". She definitely loves football and her daddy is proud! She loves all the excitement of the game and the band!
Here is Zach blocking an extra point kick in the 1st quarter.
My hometown had also made it to the playoffs and they sadly lost this week in the 2nd round. We are so proud! Neither teams have a history of being good, so when we make it this far, it's big!

She's Growing and Growing and Growing

For her 3rd Halloween, Camille was a flower! This was her first year to go Trick-or-Treating and she LOVED it!
We headed to Kaufman and stopped off at the C of C Fall Festival first to say hi to my mom, dad and sister. Brooke then joined us for Trick-or-Treating down Houston St.
Camille had her pink pumpkin pail and she wouldn't let go of it! She would walk up, say "Trick-or-Treat" and then "thank you!". Everyone thought she was so cute!
Then we headed back to the Fall Festival and Camille enjoyed spending time with Nana and Grandad there while we headed to a high school football game. My cousin, Zach, is a senior this year and we hadn't been able to see any of his games this year, so this was it! It was a great game and they won, marking their place in the Playoffs. Camille enjoyed getting her face painted, making a mask, eating chili and being spoiled by all of Nana and Grandad's friends.
