Magical Night of Giving & Dancing

Claire got to dance at the Magical Night of Giving at the mall tonight. Here she is with her dance team. We found lots of characters roaming around!

Let the dancing begin!

Parker was such a sweet big brother when he ran over to tell Claire what a great job she did!

Grandparents were all there to cheer her on!

(Bless her heart ~ she just can't keep those eyes open!)

Update on the Cookies

Making Cookies

We've had a wonderful weekend! I spent Friday and Saturday in Knoxville with a friend and didn't take one picture (NOT EVEN ONE). I was too busy talking, shopping, and eating! Today we went to church, then lunch with family, and made cookies tonight. I had two very special helpers... (Notice my ancient, green KitchenAid that belonged to Brian's grandmother ~ still works great!)

They tasted great, but the joy was in the journey...

Fall in East Tennessee

Happy Halloween!

Waiting for the first "customers"

Let the trick-or-treating begin! (Parker insisted that his costume be twelve sizes too big!)
