Thanksgiving Weekend

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had an amazing dinner

at my Granny's house!

She cooks the most wonderful

food.  It was so yummy!  
We have so much that we are
thankful for this year.  Our
family has been very blessed!

The rest of the weekend was

a lazy Cherne Family weekend.

We were supposed to go to 

Dallas, but the forecast said rain,

wind, and cold.  Not good when

you have 3 boys wanting to go to

Six Flags.  :(   So instead we stayed

home and I FINISHED my 

Christmas shopping!  Yay!!!

We asked the boys what they

wanted to do and they all said

movie and game days with

hot chocolate and some 

yummy snacks.  Sounds good!

My snook makes the best

Hot Chocolate!

My Beautiful Family

Souts

Rylee has been really busy in 

Cub Scouts the last few weeks.

We finally got all his popcorn in. 

He passed the goal he set for 

himself too.  He did such a great job!

Almost $800.00 worth!

Last week they had the Space Derby.

They each made a rocket and raced them

during the pack meeting.  Rylee got 2nd place

in one race and 3rd in the other.

 He also has managed to earn 

a bunch of belt loops.

I am so proud of my little 

Cub Scout!

Nana & Grandpa's Tree

We gave Nana and Grandpa some

 help putting up their tree this weekend.

KC put Molly on top for the angel.

Cody's 7th Birthday!

Happy 7th Birthday to Cody!

We spent Friday night Jumpin -N- Jivin!

They boys had a lot of fun!

Saturday we cooked some BBQ, 

watched a lot of football,

and had a dinner with the family.

What birthday would be complete

without birthday spankings...

...and whiskers from Papa?

Cody picked these cupcakes out all

on his own.  I was really surprised.

They had a ton of cakes for kid 

birthday themes and he still just

wanted the Cowboy cupcakes.

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

We all love you very much!!!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yesterday was my 31st Birthday!

Mom and Dad took us out to dinner 

and then we went back to their house

for cake and ice cream.

I had a great day!

Getting Ready For Christmas

So we are a little early this year.

So what.  Why not?  We love

Christmas in the Cherne house.

Why shouldn't we decorate a little

early?  We also happened to have 

Kade at the last minute this weekend

so it just seemed like the perfect time.

The boys love getting up in the attic

and digging out all the boxes and tubs.

The part they love the least is spreading

out all the branches after we get the tree

up.  It takes forever and it's not that

fun.  So... I had to add a little 

motivation.  I told them whoever

does the best job could pick a

candy.  Worked like a charm.

Now our tree is perfect and beautiful.

Rylee couldn't wait to get in the tree box

after I added all the newspaper from 

unwrapping all the ornaments.  He 

thought it looked like a coffin.

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween!

We celebrated with a 

black skull ninja & a mummy

this year.  Kade also was a ninja.

 Rylee's mummy bandages didn't last

as long as I was hoping they would.

By the time we made a couple stops

he decided to change into a back up 

ninja costume. 

We went to a little carnival and took 

a hay ride.  The boys got balloon 

animals and hot apple cider.

The sky was beautiful!

This is the boys favorite part!

Counting and sorting all the candy.
