Thanksgiving at Burge 2014

We went to Burge Plantation with the Irby Family for Thanksgiving.  

The Johnston siblings and two Irby Cousins stayed in a cabin together and it was a great time.  

We did a lot farm activities and also did a ton of eating.  Here are a few pics.  

We had a cookie cake for Banks' birthday. 

Reid sat on a horse. 

Everyone worked hard to prepare Thanksgiving lunch. 

We took a big family pic.  For the record, that is 41 adults and 9 children. 

Corn hole Tournament!!!

We had a great time chillin' at our cabin Friday night. 

Howell and I gave a little concert.  A little Mozart, a little bluegrass, and lots of fiddling.

The funniest part of the weekend was that I blew up a pyrex dish!!!  I sat it on a hot stove and let's just say we are very lucky no one was in there because the kitchen was covered in glass!

Banks at 4 Years, Reid at 18 months

Banks and Reid recently had their checkups. 

They are both so sweet and cute, but completely different.  Reid seriously could not be more different than Banks, and it keeps me on my toes to say the least. 

Banks- 4 years

Weight:  32 pounds, 14 ounces

Height:  41 5/8 inches

Reid- 18 months

Weight:   25 pounds, 2 ounces

Height:  33 1/4 inches

Happy Birthday Banks!

Look who woke up a 4 year old!

Pancakes "from a bowl" for these two. 

Followed by a new cement mixer. 

After church, we had lunch with my parents and the Butlers. 

Oh Mom, Pah-leeeease....can I come in and be a part of the party too??

Indeed he did...and it was crazy.  

Banks' Birthday Party at School

Banks wanted to do his Birthday Party at school this year.   It was perfectly easy and he had a great time celebrating with his school friends. 

Of course, he wanted the theme to be construction.  

Nana and Papa were able to come!!!

My mom really enjoyed the room and how is was decorated.  The teacher in her LIVES forever!

This week, Banks is the prayer leader, so he got to stand and lead the prayer.  

Banks has a new "photo face"  It. is. interesting. 

Sunday, the 23rd, is is real birthday and we are having a very small lunch here after church with my sister and parents.  Then off to Atlanta next for Thanksgiving to see Bryan's family...and eat a cookie cake.  Man, this little guy is getting the royal treatment for the BIG 4.
