Joy to The World!!

Repeat the sounding joy.......



What does that book title say?? Thats right.....Richardson party of five. We are having another baby! We are very excited and in for a CRAZY time in our lives. Baby is due June 1st. We leave for Birmingham at the beginning of July. This is going to be a very stressful time. But hey, we have done that before right? I seem to remember moving with a two month old once before. We got this :) The boys are some what excited. Holden doesn't get it, and Grey is very concerned about the car seat situation and that it is a girl. Lots of discussions about how God gets to decide if it is a boy or a girl, not him. But yes, big news over here!

We had a great Thanksgiving. I once again took two pictures. Two. They are not even of family or Thanksgiving.





Yup. Just my kids in a box.

BUT, Lacy took pictures at our Thanksgiving and I will try to get some photos from Lily of the Richardson Thanksgiving.

































So, maybe Thanksgiving will be two posts. But we had a GREAT time seeing everyone.

Nannie gave Grey some Christmas stickers for the door. He was so proud of his masterpiece, he asked me to take a picture.



Some frog riding at the science museum.





The boys and I went to a special Christmas story time this weekend. Grey actually wanted to meet Santa. He didn't talk, but he climbed on the stool and wanted his picture made. Holden didn't want anything to do with Santa.....until he brought out the candy cane. Santa bribed him onto his lap with some candy. Whatever, NO TEARS! Successful Santa meeting.













Snacking in the cold!

Frightening Fun!

We went to our annual pumpkin patch this year. The boys always have so much fun. And this year they added a corn maze :)


























We went to Dallas for a super short visit to go through some of my grandmother's things. The cousins had a lot of fun. And the kiddos got to go to another pumpkin patch. (This one was a little nicer than ours).







































We had a whirlwind trip to Birmingham to just look at places to live and explore. We went to two national parks and the zoo!

















Grandaddy came to visit us for Halloween. We had a lot of fun!





Holden and Grey were both going to be Dust planes. Holden saw his box and wanted nothing to do with it. He demanded to be Mr. Potato Head again (thank goodness it still fit). And once Grey saw him he wanted to be Woody again. We told Grey he couldn't go trick or treating unless he was Dusty. He was not happy. But once people started liking his costume, then he liked it too. I am never spending that much trouble on costumes to have children NOT want to wear them!!!!!! Grey loved trick or treating and went until he was so tired he asked us to carry him. Holden liked the candy, but was confused as to why he couldn't eat every single piece at once.

















Donut breakfast after a night of candy. The picture of health over here :)







This month......

We got to meet a brand new baby friend!



Grey telling a story.



Grey and his bestest gal pal went to their first PLAY! It was beauty and the beast. They were not scared and they were quiet and well behaved. It was a lot of fun.





Thanksgiving feast at school.













And finally, a Thanksgiving cookie painting adventure.







We are looking forward to no school this next week and Thanksgiving in Dallas!
