Thompson's Tree Farm Tradition

I know I say this every year, but we LOVE Thompson's Tree Farm. This year I thought it would be cool to take a trip down memory lane and see how the kids have changed over the years that we have been taking their pictures in the sleigh at the farm.

2006 - Our first year to visit Thompson's

2007 - This year we just happened to go on the Saturday that Santa was visiting.2008 - Micah joins the Crozier Crew

2009 - Last year I could talk Rebekah into wearing that hair bow :(

2010 - Wow how they have changed!

This year Thompson's added a new "attraction". The animal in the background is a cow - yes a cow. A very hairy cow - strange, but cute!

And we always love to feed the goats.

THANKSGIVING!!!

Okay - I absolutely LOVE Thanksgiving. We keep it very relaxed so that we can truly enjoy the day and reflect on all we are thankful for. Here is a snapshot of our Thanksgiving Day this year. We alternate years with families so it isn't too hectic, so next year we will be with Robbie's family.

The cutest little Turkey/Hulk I have ever seen!!

Robbie and the kids enjoying the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade before we headed out to my Mom and Dad's.

This year we had a big family picture made from my side of the family. My grandmother (Mom's Mom) is in the chair with my Aunt and Uncle and the rest of our family. What a legacy and what a smile this photo brings to my face. Family is indeed a treasure that cannot be replaced!

I love history and genealogy, so this picture is especially important to me. There are four generations of Sentell women in this photo. My grandmother, Mom, Aunt Connie, sisters - Claire and Erin, myself and Rebekah and my two nieces, Amelia and Amberleigh! Love it!

And another picture of the legacy my parents are leaving - all nine of their grandchildren!

And some cute shots of my kiddos - thanks David & Rachel for taking the pictures!

Gabriella the Angel

Rebekah was so excited to get the part of Gabriella the angel in this year's children's Christmas musical at church. She looked beautiful and we are so proud of the awesome job that she did!

Writer's Tea

My sweet McKinney - you were selected as the first boy in your class to participate in the Quarterly Writer's Tea. They choose one boy and one girl three times throughout the school year and you were the first boy from Mrs. Johnston's class. I am so proud of you - you are becoming a great writer and an awesome reader!
