Thanksgiving




We went to Greenwood for Thanksgiving and had a nice time. The whole family was there and Lucy's mother joined us too. It was great to see Lou. I am sure she finds our family very overwhelming. With 7 boys running around and Julie and Allison dipping into the "juice" it can get obnoxious.

Games and Birthday Celebration








We were able to enjoy games after the big dinner this Thanksgiving. The Melton's moved in next door and they had horseshoes, bean bag toss and croquet. We had a friendly game of croquet against the Melton's. The Swayze family won and I do not think Floyd enjoyed that. Foster liked to throw the bean bags into the hole. He did not want to play with others.
We also celebrated Harris' 7th birthday. Mother caught his hair on fire with the candles, but I did not get a picture.

Foster Admiring Greatness


After Ole Miss beat LA/Monroe and became bowl eligible, Dad felt the need to let Greenwood know that he is proud to be a Rebel. We do not seem to mind too much for two reasons:
1) I do not live in Greenwood
2) It has been a long time since Ole Miss has had this kind of season.
Fortunately, Jay has converted to an Ole Miss fan and was obliged to take a picture with Foster next to "Greatness." As you can see in the photo Foster is looking at the Ole Miss figure in awe. He is probably understanding now what people have been talking to him about for the last 22 months.

My family's Halloween



Allison and Reese went wild at the Halloween party in Greenwood. The day after Allison dressed up as Amy Winehouse, Amy went back into rehab. Reese is one of those guys from ACDC. Rumor has it that he shook the party all night long!!!!

Julie and Mark went as the Sweet Potato Queens. Mistletoe Preview Party is Wednesday and I think I am going to borrow Julie's dress. Jay might need to borrow Mark's socks that he he has in his pants.

Halloween





Here is Foster in his Halloween outfit. He is suppose to be a monkey, but he looks more like an Ewok from Star Wars. We tried to get a good picture of him holding a Star Wars action figure (Burger King prize).

Harris came over and scared Foster on Friday.



We went to Oxford for the Auburn/Ole Miss game this weekend. Friday night we went over to Jennifer and Brad Lovelady's and then to Miram's. It was fun seeing everyone's kids. Here are some photos of Foster with Bradley and Kate Lovelady.

Saturday night Foster hung out with Maggie Roberson. They seemed to have a good time too.

Today I am a little tired because Foster has not caught on to the time change. Hopefully, it will be better in the morning.
