Fun in Fayetteville

Saturday evening we headed up the hill to the Smith house were we ate pizza and went to the lighting of the square. The girls had a great time watching the lights and the parade, they even got a few pieces of candy, I think they both snacked on a small candy cane before the night was over. Anyway as always I forgot my camera at home but Lindsay got some really cute pictures of the girls, hopefully she will post them soon. Thanks guys for the fun evening and for letting us ride in your now new van--congrats.

Girls Night at Granny Carr's

Last Friday night Daddy went camping (crazy, the temperature was about 20 degrees) so that he would be in place for early duck hunting. Alyson and I decided to go to Granny Carr's and keep her company for the night. Saturday morning we made a trip to Ft. Smith to pick up some material I ordered for Alyson's curtains that Granny Carr is making her for her new big girl room. We also had to get our measurements for a bridesmaid dress and flower girl dress, Jevon my very good friend is getting married. That's right Alyson first flower girl gig, how exciting. After the getting our measurements we went to Dillard's to find Alyson a Christmas dress, no luck yet, hopefully we find something before this Saturday, we are having family Christmas pictures taken. Our next stop was Target to get a few things and then Granny took us to lunch. It was a great day, we love spending time with our Granny. Later that evening it was time to take off to Fayetteville to meet the Smith's and go to the lighting of the square in Fayetteville.

Halloween!

As you can tell from the pictures Alyson was Snow White this year for Halloween and I think she really did like her costume, she even left her crown on for most of the night. Our Halloween night started off at Granny and Papa's for some delicious stew and popcorn balls, which Alyson was not impressed with but Mommy and Daddy liked it. After dinner we headed out to start the real fun. Our first stop was Granny Carr's house where Alyson got a book for trick or treat and some candy. Second stop was to Poppa and Nonna's house for more candy and s short visit. The third stop was to Aunt Mimi house where Alyson got several goodies and prizes. Fourth stop was Granny B's house, Alyson got some stickers and a coloring book, along with many other things. Last stop of the night was to Aunt Yvonne's house who gave us cookies, yummy! This may not seem like a lot of places for most people but the entire circle took us about 55 miles and 2 1/2 hours, but well worth it for all our family to get to see Alyson. Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful treats and prizes! Also thank you to Mrs. Val for the glowing wand.
