Merry Christmas pups...

These new beds were suppose to be for the puppies...instead the girls are fussing over them.

She's got it!

Much to Daddy's delight someone has all but mastered the Wolfpack hand sign. She picks up a State book, wants to read it and makes a sound and hand motion at every page.

Trees Are Up!

All new record at the Venable house! Trees are up before Thanksgiving! Not sure how this happened but I'm excited about relaxing Thanksgiving and not rushing around doing this...fist pump for more stress-free family time on the break!

New Shoes

Gran Mary got SKV some new interactive shoes. ECV digs them
more than anyone-except the whole falling off her feet part. :)

Vote 2012

We voted!! This year I tried to explain the process and purpose. I started simple like "If you, sister and me were hungry and choosing between Subway and pizza..." After a great explanation-"Well, we'd get Subway because that's what I like." I tried again using daddy, mommy and SKV as characters choosing between a ninja turtle movie and the little mermaid...that got her sidetracked to "why does daddy want to watch the turtles?"

To all her future history teachers-I'll keep trying. :)

Seat?

"I needed a seat. So I pelted Indy with all the toys then sat down. So what are you looking at?" :)

Go who?!

"Go Carolina-Go Carolina!" what we started hearing on the way to today's State game. SKV was being a little instigator. Kevin told her she's out of the family. She responded with, "Whose family are you moving me to?" 😃
Then we heard "Go Duke!"

We blame school. 😉

Trick or Treat 2012

This year we opted to do the family rounds on the weekend before Halloween so we could join our neighbors. This involved a highly organized trip around the hood, a trailer, step ladder and fun friends! We missed our sweet Heath family though!

Sidney Kate loved it and was on a major high from all the excitement. Embree Claire had it all figured out - wait for the big kids to get theirs then reach for the basket and choose some candy.

Good times-great neighborhood-fun friends.

Happy Halloween!

I'm still in shock this happened. I asked ECV to go to SKV And she posed for almost a minute!! Happy day to mommy!!!

Mommy and me Friday

Friday SKV and I went around town getting X-rays, flu shots and clothes shopping-oh and Subway! She was a brave little one!

Birds!!

Getting in the car and Embree Claire heard...BIRDS!!!!

Friday night ALF

After dinner and a quick shopping trip we arrives at the ALF just in time to miss the crowd and let the big kids (uh hum) get some cotton candy.

ECV showed off her newly formed mad dancing skills. I was impressed-hands up and bouncing to the beat. :)
