It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We're gearing up for Christmas at the Cummings house!

Betty and Matt started things off last week making a ginger bread house.

I think they did pretty good!

Next, our elf, Henry made his return this year with a little something extra.  Looks like Betty has rubbed off on him and he's started shopping at Target, too!

Finally, McKenzie's show choir had their Christmas show Monday night.  They did a great job as usual!  I can't believe this was McKenzie's last Christmas show as a middle school student.  Yep, this child is going to be in high school next year!

Here are some pictures and a short video from her performance.

Thanksgiving, The Sequel

Friday was Thanksgiving with the Cummings' in Eupora.  We enjoyed good food (thanks Nana!) and laughed a lot.  For the most part we did a good job of staying conscious, with notable exceptions of Caleb and Andy.  The girls did a little shopping and the boys stayed at the house and watched football.  Here are some pics from the day.

Thanksgiving selfies!

We text you a Happy Thanksgiving!

This was a fake throw by Matt.  Notice the ball behind his back.

Like father, like son

The family photo.  We were standing on a hill, so Andy isn't really as big as Andre the Giant.

Thanksgiving - Grenada

Happy Thanksgiving!  Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving with Betty's family in Grenada.  Friday we'll head over to Eupora for the annual Cummings feast and food induced coma.  Here are some pictures from the day including pics of the big football game featuring Davis, Matt, Jacob, Patrick, and Ryan.

Congrats Jordan!

Congratulations, Jordan! Thursday night she won Most Beautiful at Grenada High School. McKenzie and I went to the beauty review and had a lot of fun! Jordan is a junior at GHS. Jordan, you were stunning and we are proud of you!

McKenzie Dancing!

McKenzie's dance studio, Charisma Dance Co., had a Christmas Bazaar Saturday and each dance class performed a song during the day.  Since it wasn't really a recital and none of the family got to see it, here are videos of her three performances.  Great job, McKenzie!

"All Of Me"

"Run, Run Rudolph"
