Turkey Trot 2009. Thanksgiving morning.

We were in Baton Rouge for Thanksgiving aka the holiday of gluttony and gratefulness.  So to compensate for the inevitable overeating, our family has made it a tradition to run in the annual "Turkey Trot" run in downtown Baton Rouge.(ok. so maybe that's not actually the reason we do it, but it sure does make a lot of sense :) )

 Jubilee and I were the cheerleaders for Tommy, Jeremy, "Handsome PawPaw", Emily and Devin as they ran the race.

Jubilee is her Daddy's second biggest fan :)

Here they are at the starting line, looking excited about life...

Jubilee and I patiently waited to see who would be the first one of our crew to make it to the finish line.

And the winner is...TOMMY!!! Leaping toward the finish line.

Here's our crew, post run... Looking good and enjoying some good old fashion endorphins.

Working on "Tummy Time"

Perseverance was the name of this game.

Watch the progression.  

Check out those blue eyes!!

And we can't forget about the glorious mullet...

a.dor.a.ble.

We're back!!!  And we have a lot of catching up to do.  Let's just start off with some adorable pictures of Jubilee in her special "church dress"

Jubilee, the reader...

That's right!  Our child is a genius!!!  But what mother doesn't think her child is a genius?!  But seriously, this is precious.  I was reading to Jubilee and had to walk away for a minute.  So I placed the book in her lap and when I returned this is what I found...

 

I mean, it looks like she's reading to me, and you can't convince me otherwise:)

 

Look at that sense of accomplishment!

In other news,over the past couple of days Jubilee has been "talking" up a storm.  I think we have a little social butterfly in the making:)

 

Sunday afternoons with Daddy...

Sunday afternoons are some of the best times at the Sisson home!  Tommy's schedule changes from week to week, but he always has Sundays off.  It's such a blessing!  Jubilee and I love it when he's home! 

Here are some cute pictures of "Daddy and Jubilee time" this past Sunday...

 

It's a little blurry, but she looked so adorable in her dress:)

 

Halloween...

On Halloween night our little family hung out with some friends at the Sommers' house.  We had hamburgers and played cards and it was so much fun!!  We love our amazing friends:)

I love this picture! Yep, she's eating her tutu:)

Jubilee is trying hard to sit up in the Bumbo while Will plays with his fun toys:) 

 

  

Bumbo time...

In addition to working on "Tummy Time", on Friday I decided to see if Jubilee would like to sit up like a big girl in her Bumbo seat.  She did such a great job!! I can't believe how big and strong she's getting...

On Saturday morning, I decided to try it again only this time pointing her towards the TV.  I had in the Hillsong DVD and she loved it!!!
