Thanksgiving At Lindsey's School

Lindsey's school, Rockefeller Elementary, celebrated Thanksgiving Friday November 18th with turkey and dressing at lunch. They invited parents to come, so I left work and had an early Thanksgiving lunch with her. The students made Indian headdresses to wear at the lunch. Of course, she wouldn't eat the turkey and dressing. After we ate lunch, we all went back to the classroom and the students went around the classroom to say what they were thankful for. When they got to Lindsey, she decided she was going to be shy (we all know she's not) and would not say anything!!! Then the class sang a thanksgiving song for us that they had been working on this past week.

Lindsey And Daddy Go To The Sugar Plum Ball

Lindsey loves to dance! So, on Thursday November 17th Lindsey and I went to the Sugar Plum Ball put on by CARTI during the Festival of Trees. The Sugar Plum Ball is a daddy/daughter dance that raises money for CARTI (Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute. They give radiation treatments to cancer patients) It's very cute... when we walked in, they announced our names over a loud speaker. (you know... for a grand entrance) Then they put a crown on Lindsey's head, and we got to walk down a red carpet to the dance floor. Lindsey and I danced a lot! Her favorite thing was when I would throw her in the air! She had the most fun dancing with Cameron Francis, the daughter of our morning meteorologist, Mike Francis.

Our Little Artist

Lindsey loves to paint, draw, color... ect. On Sunday November 13th she was paiting in the kitchen. Laurie and I were not watching her and she decided to turn normal paints into finger paints!! She's normally not this messy!!

Lindsey Loved Mary Mayo's Birthday Party

On November 12th I took Lindsey to Mary Mayo's birthday party. She is the one year old daughter of one of our reporters at KARK, Cecillea Pond-Mayo. Lindsey knows her because every once in a while Lindsey is watched by the same woman who watches Mary during the day. (Deanna Francis, the wife of our morning meteorologist) We were there for about two hours. Lindsey loved playing with all the kids. But the most fun she had was playing football with Robert Gatlin and "uncle" Matt. (or Mack, as she used to call him when she was younger)
