The Oldroyd Family

This was the extent of my Thanksgiving Day pictures.  But they're good ones! We love playing games when we can, which is a lot harder than it used to be now that there are so many kids!  An Oldroyd Family favorite is called, "Mormon Rummy."  Here are Grandma & Grandpa playing the forehead round!  We love them! And this is a picture of the one pie I make every year: Lemon Sour Cream.  It's as good as it looks!

I got to go up to school today to see the Kindergarten Turkey Parade.  Their 5th grade buddies helped them make their turkey float (out of a potato & other decor) and their hats & vests.  So cute!

The only thing that could make these pictures better is if William, Owen & Callan were in them!  We love our Grandpa John!  Happy Birthday!

We have loved having Hank as part of our family.  I'm a big sucker for his cute face & fun personality.  Even though he has been crate trained from the beginning, its not his favorite place.  This is what happens every night when I tell him to get in his crate for the night.  I feel like he's saying, "How 'bout you rub my belly instead!"  Who can resist that face & polka dot tummy?

Some people from church started doing a little fall soccer program a few years back.  Nathan & Alexa were finally old enough to join in this year! At the end of the season, we had a little party where the kids got trophies and certificates.  Go Nathan & Alexa! And this is how Max felt about not getting a trophy... Next year, buddy!

Back in September, Alexa was the "Star of the Week" for her class.  She got to bring home the "class pet," Timmy the Turtle.  We took pictures with him doing various activities and made a few scrapbook pages for her class book. We also made a Star of the Week poster all about Alexa!  They displayed it at school for a while & she got to bring it home today, as well as her "favorite things" poster. We love you Alexa!  You're a star every week at home!

To celebrate the 50th Day of School, the kids had a sock hop!
