Jeremy, Elizabeth, Libby & John Henry

This post is long overdue...even I am tired of seeing the anniversary post every time I log in.
We just celebrated a great Thanksgiving here in Memphis. We missed all of the Given Clan, most of them traveled to Fort Lauderdale to eat turkey, but we stayed here and are looking forward to spending some time with them at Christmas.

We did get to spend some time with Jane, Wyatt and the girls...it was a great visit and everyone was healthy for the most part...Yay!
Mimi and Pop's house went from a construction zone to a daycare center in about 48 hours...by the time the Morris's got in town it was inhabitable but it took lots of work to get it there.
Construction is almost over and I know Mom and Dad are happy.

Duck season is upon us, pretty much meaning Christmas has come early for Jeremy...because as the weekend nears he gets very excited to wake up at 4 a.m. in the freezing cold and shoot a bird. I don't get it, but I am glad he is having fun. He is trying to convince me to come along one weekend, but it is going to take a lot of convincing.

Libby is a Mess with a capital "M". She is everywhere now, she LOVES Hagan and loves to discipline him and feed him everything she eats. She loves her manger scene that Mimi and Pop got for her - it has 80 pieces (give or take) and takes up her room. She can pick out Mary and Baby Jesus, but most of the men - Joseph, wise men and the shepard pretty much look the same...so maybe next year they will share the spotlight too...

The Christmas lights are quite a treat for us on our outings and if you are one of the people that sport the inflatables in your yard then Bless you! I have never appreciated those until Libby came along - now they are a big deal and pretty much determine our route when running errands, and if you see my car stop in front of your house we are not stalking you, we are admiring your decor and probably singing a song that corresponds with your inflatable of choice (i.e. Frosty the Snowman)

Enjoy the Pictures!
