Thanksgiving Outdoor Fun!

We spent another Thanksgiving in North Georgia this year - and even had Uncle Skylar and Aunt Nichole back with us!  We had our normal fun and the weather was nice so we got to spend a lot of time outside!

We fried our turkey and made doughnuts like we always do, but this year we tried something new in the fryer - corn dogs!  We made our batter, dripped the hot dogs in and fried them!

It was not a clean process making corn dogs and doughnuts!

They turned out great - possibly a new tradition!

Owen finally tried a doughnut this year and realized what he's been missing out on!

I tried it all!

The backyard was perfect for corn hole - which of course then turned into a bike ramp for Owen!

I even tried riding my bike in the backyard - a little hard for me!

The deck had a nice straight spot for bikes and scooters!  I've been riding my balance bike but Dad brought Owen's old bike with training wheels for me to try.  It didn't take long for me to get the hang of peddling and steering!

We spent lots of time out by the camp fire too!

Our super hero poses!

Owen likes to roast marshmallows but then eat uncooked ones!

There was a big hill in front of the cabin - since there wasn't any traffic on the road, it was fun for scooters and bikes!

Fun Together!

Clara and I do a pretty good job of entertaining ourselves together.  We definitely fight sometimes - we each know just how to push the other's buttons!  But overall we have lots of fun together!

We spent the night at Grandma B's and Grandpa Mark's house - I wore myself out before Clara!  I don't think Grandma minded...

Clara came up with a new way to open the dishwasher door using the suction cup on my arrows!

We both have a pretty good imagination!  We "roasted" some marshmallows to make s'mores!  And we went "fishing" with yo-yos!

We are good helpers for Mom and worked together to put together her shelf!

Mom got me some containers to help get my Legos organized so Clara and I spend some time building new creations!

We both got to go to a Christmas concert with Grandma and Grandpa Young - we had to wear our nice clothes for this event!

On the weekend, it's pretty common for us to have a sleepover (usually in Clara's room)!

This is a pretty common activity for us when we're just hanging around the house.  Whatever we are playing together usually ends up in some sort of chase game!

And if we're not chasing each other, we're probably having some sort of wrestling match!

More Birthday Parties!

Clara and I had several birthday parties to attend in a row!  

My friend Mila had her party at her house!  I sang the loudest so I could get a big piece of cake!

Then our friend Elly had her birthday party at a new jumpy place by our house!  I played dodge ball and Clara tried the balance beam! 

Mila was at the party with us, too!  Clara gave the rock wall a try - she still needs practice! 

Several of my friends from our neighborhood were at the party!

Cake and a wind tunnel?  A great combination!

Then we went to one of my classmate's birthday party!  They had a face painter!

At Elly's party, Clara and Mila got pretty good with their jumping tricks!

At my classmate's party, they had a floss dance competition!  Clara and I didn't win but we gave it our best shot!

Family Day at Clemson!

We had a fun family trip to Clemson to watch one of the football games!

I had an awesome time tailgating - I met some new friends and played football for hours!

Clara found a giant tiger near our tailgate!  Tigers are #1!

Can you tell we had lots of sugar and junk food while we were tailgating??

It was chilly in the game - we had to wear jackets and get covered up in blankets! 

I met new friends tailgating and Clara met new friends at the game!  Her and her new friends had a make believe world under the seats!

It was a fun game with the family at Clemson!  And of course Clemson won!

Last Soccer Game!

It was a great season on Team Granada!  I scored a few goals (even though Mom wasn't able to catch any on video) and had a lot of fun!  I can't wait to play again in the spring.

Here's our team and our coaches!

Even though it was nice weather for our last game, it had been raining all week so the field was so muddy!

Mom brought her nice camera to the game so she could get some fun action shots! 

Gavin was one of my teammates - we were always talking strategy!

You always have to be ready in soccer! 

Of course my favorite part is kicking the ball! 

At the end of the games, the parents make us a tunnel to run through!

And of course my favorite cheerleader was at the game!

She's not always cheery though...

But Grandpa Mark can get her in a good mood!
