Morgan gets her ears pierced!

Morgan asked Santa to pierce her ears while she was sleeping. Well, he wrote her a letter that he was afraid to do it so he left her a gift card to Claire's so she could go have it done. So, Monday afternoon we loaded up and went to Knoxville to get her ears pierced. She was very nervous and wanted to back out but I convinced her that it would be okay. She was very brave and I'm so proud of her. She teared up a little after it was over but it didn't last long. She picked small white gold balls and she has to wear them for at least 6 weeks.

December fun

We have had a busy December. We got a little snow one Saturday morning so Josh and Jackson went out and tried to sled and make a snowman. My mom came to visit for a few days and she taught Morgan how to sew a little tiny pillow. It warms my heart to see her with my mom. She always says that "Gran is a great sewer" so it's great to see my little girl becoming a great "sewer" herself. Morgan and I made a cake for Santa this morning. She decided he would like that better than cookies this year. She decorated it herself. I am getting over swine flu, ear infection, and pneumonia and will be thankful to feel good again...I'm not there yet.

Thanksgiving fun

I had such a blast getting together with my mom and my brothers. I only get to see my brothers about once a year so Thanksgiving is extra special to me. On Friday they all came to our house in Kingston and we went sledding in the back yard. No, there was no snow...only leaves. It was hilarious! We wore Jackson's (who is 6 yrs old) Tennessee football helmet for protection! We made some great memories that I will cherish forever
