Decorating the Tree

I finally went and picked out our tree and got it up. Madison loved decorating mom and dad's tree so I knew she'd love decorating ours. Here are just cute pics from "tree decorating" day.:)

I do not know why this picture uploaded sideways.

There, "Do you like it?"

As soon as she found a spot of limbs that would hold the bulbs she would pile as many as she could until they started to drop.

Thanksgiving Visit in Nebraska

Here are just some of the pictures from our trip to Nebraska for Thanksgiving.

Kim and I made the traditional turkey table deserts.:)

It was a pretty nice day so Madi got to go out and play with the puppy.

This is Corbin, Kim's roommate's dog. Madison loved playing with him once he calmed down from getting to know her. :)

Madi decorating grandma and grandpa's tree.

Us girls at the tree farm picking out the tree.

Sorry these are a bit out of order.

Typical ornery Madi face. :)

My little cutie.

Thanksgiving in Iraq

Mike said they made a really big deal over Thanksgiving. They made sure the soldiers had a good time. He said there was every kind of food you could ever wish to eat for Thanksgiving there. There were also ice sculptures. I liked hearing that since this was their second Thanksgiving away from family. Good news though..Mike's welcome home ceremony is scheduled for Dec.19th. It will be unbelievable great to finally have him home!

Mike and his 1Sgt.

The battallion commander and battery(aka company) commanders, their 1Sgt. and SGT Major had to serve for an hour on Thanksgiving and wear these VERY attractive hats.:):)

Mike said an Indian(from India) guy put this together for them. The Indian's are the ones who mainly take care of the DFAC.

Savannah Airport

I figured it was about time I started blogging again. Here are some pictures from the airport in Savannah getting ready to go to Nebraska for Thanksgiving.

Madi and Uncle Billy.

All ready to go.:)
