Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving at Grandmothers with Papa Steve and JuJu! We only see them a few times a year, but we love them!

Thanksgiving at the Leisten's-2008

We always host Thanksgiving at our house- it's my parents, Lawrence's parents, his sister and her family, and his brother. We have a great time and WAY TOO MUCH FOOD! We made a list of all the things we were thankful for--everyone wrote something they were thankful for. Happy Turkey Day!

Wedding Anniversary Trip

Our 13th Anniversary!
We saw a moma bear with her 2 baby cubs on the side of the road!

Cade's Cove-lots and LOTS of deer

One of the old houses at Cade's Cove!

The icy road on the way to New Found Gap!

We took a trip for our Anniversary to Gatlinburg! We had a great time. We shopped most of the day on Saturday and were back at our hotel resting by 7:30. On Sunday, we drove up to Cade's Cove. The animals are everwhere--bear, deer, turkeys and much more! It was beautiful!

Grading Papers

I couldn't resist taking this picture of my ladies working on grading their papers! Emma would not let Toshia be the only one getting things done. I think she is a little like her mommy... ;-)

National Elementary Honor Society

Our school is one of the first school's to have the National Elementary Honor Society. They honored only 5th graders. Joshua was nominated and we are very proud!
