Cy's first haircut!

Cyrus got his first haircut from Grandpa!

Christmas Already!!!

If you didn't know this... I love to decorate for Christmas. It was always one of my favorite traditions as a child. My mom would put on Elvis and Alabama Christmas records. We would decorate our entire house.

Our first year in our house Ella had just turned 2 so we decorated while she was sleeping. Last year Ella was 3 and she really helped us out. Cyrus was just a baby so he wasn't any trouble. Well this year, Cyrus was rather a handful! He wanted to grab things off the tree at first but then he got the hang of putting the ornaments on. Ella was a pro! Here are some pictures from this year.

The nativity scene and stockings.

Mee Maw (Shirley) and Aunt Cye Ann have started a new tradition with their grandchildren. They are making crafts. Here is the first craft... candle holders. Ella had a great time doing this.

Ella and Cy proud of their tree.

Ella decorated this table all by herself.

Update

I know I haven't updated lately but I've finally gotten around to it. We've been busy. Ella is still liking school. She is doing well. Cyrus is doing well also. His ears seem to be much better since he got his tubes. Hopefully, we are done with ear infections. I posted a few pictures. Cyrus was left alone with Ella's markers and you will see what happened! Luckily, they were washable. The picture of Ella is from face painting at Chick-fil-a last night.

Halloween

Halloween was rather eventful. On Tuesday my MOMS Club had trunk-or-treat. The kids went around to everyone's trunk to get something for their treat bag!

Then, we went trick-or-treating at my neighborhood on Thursday. We ended Halloween by trick-or-treating in Elkins with Maxie. It was neat for Ella to go to houses that I used to go to as a child!

The first thing Cy did was to jump in the leaves.


Baby Drew's first Halloween!

Rachael was a little tired!

Cy loved going to each house to get his candy.

Ella and Kyle were pros at going to all the houses!

Cyrus now has tubes in his ears!

Today we went to Ruby to get tubes in Cy's ears. The surgery started at 8:15 and he as done at 8:30. Very quick! The doctor said... Don't go anywhere. He said he once had parents go over to Eat-n-park to eat! We were back with him at 8:30 and he started to wake up from the sleepy medicine. He cried and cried and cried! Finally, he went back to sleep and when he woke up about 45 min. later he was back to himself.

Hopefully this will stop the constant ear infections. Poor guy has been so miserable! I wish I had my camera because he looked so cute in his hospital gown!
