Caroline's Dance Classes
Caroline has been taking dance classes this year. She takes 20 minutes of ballet, then tap, then gymnastics. It is really fun to watch the little girls. This week was open house and all the parents got to come in the room and watch. The pictures didn't come out very good but you can still tell how cute she looked!
Graham is 3 months old!
Graham is 3 months old this week! He is getting so big! He is such a sweet boy!
This month Graham has learned a lot. He can now roll over both ways. He can also stand with all his weight on his legs for a long time. He is very strong! He is starting to play with his toys that hang over his mat. He absolutely loves to be talked to. He will "talk" back and grin with his mouth wide open. He likes to watch Caroline play beside him and always has a smile ready for her. He is still only waking up to eat once in the night, around 5:30am. Then he goes back to sleep until 8:30. He doesn't sleep great during the day, but I can handle that as long he is sleeping at night. We love him so much!!!!!
This is me holding Graham and his friend, Carter. They are 2 weeks apart in age.
Caroline has made a tent to play under and wanted Graham to play also.
Graham loves bath time. When he gets cranky in the evening a bath will always calm him down before bedtime.

Black Friday! Yikes!
We are crazy! I got up at 3:30 AM so that I could shop the Black Friday sales. Brenda went with me. We had to bring Graham since I am nursing and because I don't trust Ben to wake up ( he sleeps like the dead!). We got to the Conway walmart at 5:00. It was packed! There were no parking spaces so we had to park in another lot. We stood in line to check out for over an hour. I got everything I had on my list though! I was very excited. We had Megan at Target at the same time so she picked up my stuff I needed there and we did the same for her at walmart. After walmart we also went to Kohls, Belk, Target, Old Navy, and Best Buy! Graham slept in his backpack the entire time! He was an angel! He woke up to eat when we were checking out at the last store. I think we were home by 10:30! Everyone else was just waking up!
This is Graham as we are leaving the house at 4:15am. Poor thing doesn't know what is going on!
Graham never woke up! He was great!
This is all our loot! Unfortunately most of it was mine!

Thanksgiving!
I hosted my first Thanksgiving this year! I really appreciate my Grandmommy now, for all the Thanksgivings, Christmases, Easters, and birthdays that she did for the whole family. We had Ben's mom, sister, brother, aunt, and cousins over for the holiday. I cooked turkey, dressing, broccoli and rice casserole, swiss green bean, Donna's settler beans, and purple hull peas. Brenda and her sister also brought some food items. The cooking went fine, the clean-up was the hard part! My house is a mess and I have laundry piled everywhere! We had a great time though!
This is how I had do a lot of the cooking! Graham likes his comfy backpack!
This is Ben and his brother Jacob. They helped out for a few minutes before heading down to the pond!
Caroline and her Mimi.
This is Caroline's Aunt Beka. They had a lot fun playing this week!
We did ahead and opened Christmas gifts with them at the same time. It's hard to get everyone together again in just a few weeks! Caroline was really confused about whether it was Thanksgiving or Christmas time!
Brenda got Caroline this doll! I love it! It says Caroline Trotter RN. (Mimi is a nurse)

Updates!
Graham finally started to pick up his head while laying down! I was starting to worry about it! He is not a big fan of "tummy time" yet. He usually just lays there and sucks on his hands!
This is Graham is his crib! I have started to put him there during the day to take naps. Maybe this will get him ready to sleep in it at night. FYI, he is sleeping until 5:30 in the morning now! I am very excited. He wakes up to eat then goes back to sleep until 8:30 or so. He is sleeping great at night! He doesn't take good naps during the day though. I guess I can handle that as long as I am getting good sleep at night!
