We Are Truly Thankful and Blessed

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving because we sure did! Thanksgiving morning we woke up and headed north to Lone Camp, TX. It took us about 4.5 hours to get there, but it was a beautiful drive. The leaves were changing all the way there. We stopped about half-way to let William run and play at a school in Evant. He had so much fun.



Once we made it to Lone Camp the fun and chaos began! We had a total of 16 people. 12 adults and 4 children. Those 4 children range in age from 2.5 years to 1. WOW!!!! Although there was some unified crying at times the kids really did have a great time playing with each other. We had a wonderful meal full of goodies! William enjoyed his mashed potatoes the most, but it seems like that is all he eats now a days. After dinner the kids played and the adults visited a bit. Of course we had to watch the TAMU v. Texas game. Part of the house was thrilled and the other part was not so happy with the outcome, but it sure was fun to watch.



After a not so restful night (William slept maybe a total of 5 hours) we had a birthday celebration for Kaitlyn Noelle. She is about to be the big 1!!! That's right,one year old. She was such a good sport while her older sister and cousins played with her toys. She just looked precious in her little dresses. After the b-day party we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's in Brownwood for the rest of the weekend. William had SO MUCH FUN at their house. He constantly wanted to be outside watching the cows. If we got too close to them he would giggle nervously, but he loved it. He also got to pet Grandpa's horse Otis, who also taught him the correct way to sound like a horse. William now has a very theatrical way to say neigh. He was a big help to Grandpa while we were there. He would just follow Grandpa all around outside and help him with whatever he was doing. Here are just a few photos taken this past weekend.

Grandma came home with us on Sunday to help out while Daddy starts his new job in project management and Mommy finishes her last week of teaching. We are lucky to have her help, because now Mommy is sick. :-( That would be why this post is SO very late.



We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!



Love,
