Thanksgiving Day

We had Thanksgiving lunch at Grammy and Paw Paw's house with Greg brother's family. Carlee is posing in front of the dining room table. She's looks like she is doing a curtsy.

Carlee wanted to take a picture of me and Grammy and I am glad she did.

When we get together with this little man, there is always a whole lot of laughs. Check out these faces..... pretty similar and hilarious!

These kids had lots of fun together. They acted silly all day long.

This has become my Thanksgiving dish (sweet potato, apples and cranberries) two years in a row. It is really good. Thank you Pamered Chef!

Waiting patiently to eat

Carlee found out that she loves stuffing this year. Yummy!

Our family.... Zachary is thinking about smiling....

Matt, Quint and Nathan minus baby Jesse, who was sleeping

Greg's parents

Grammy made awesome brownies with melted Symphony chocolate in the middle. YUM!

This was just the beginning of all the sugar they had

Zachary loved putting on Paw Paw's hat. What a cutie pie!

Carlee put on Grammy's hat. Very Posh!

They finished the evening with a cup of blue bell vanilla ice cream on the step.

We enjoyed spending the day with our family. We are so blessed to have family here to spend Thanksgiving with. It was a fun and delicious day, despite the Longhorns lose.

I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with special moments. We know that the most important part of Thanksgiving is having a thankful heart. This is truly a gift that only comes through knowing and loving Jesus. My heart is full of thanks for His mercy, grace and love that He gives me everyday. It's only because of Him that I can love Him more and more. He has a way of bringing the best and the worst out of me to bring me closer to Him and make me more like Him.

Uncle James and Cassie's Wedding

Last Sunday we celebrated the union of James and Cassie. It was a quiet backyard wedding. Simple and sweet! It is good to see my uncle so happy. Cassie is a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit. They make one lovely couple.... don't you think.

Carlee with my cousin Ellana

Carlee loved being close to Cassie in her beautiful dress.

Miemaw and I bought these purses together at Sam Moon. Comes to show you that she has such great taste. I love this womans sense of style..... always have.

It was great being around all my cousins and family again. What a wonderful day!

Daddy Daughter Dance

Carlee and daddy went to a daddy daughter dance at our church this past Saturday night. Carlee fell asleep in the car on the way there. We had been out all day running errands. She is our Sleeping Beauty.
Here they are all dressed up before going into the ballroom (our church worship center). They are looking really good. Carlee picked out daddy's tie and I helped curl Carlee's hair. She picked out her beautiful flower bow for her hair.

Here she is with her new best friend, Ryanne. This is our pastors grand daughter. They take ballet at the same dance studio and Ryanne absolutely adores Carlee, as you can tell from the picture.

Silly face

Carlee is dancing on stage and loving every minute of it. I have some video of Carlee dancing, but have not been able to download it to this post. If you want to see it. You can go to my facebook page and find it on my wall. I heard that she danced the night away!

While Greg and Carlee were dancing, Zachary and I went out for some Berry Pop (frozen healthy yogurt). Even though the weather was cold, the yogurt shop was nice a warm. Zachary had raspberry/pomegranate yogurt with sour gummy worms (it makes my lips pucker just thing about it). He ate all the gummies first and then asked to try a bite of mine (plain jane yogurt with blueberries). He decided he liked my yogurt better, so we switched. I was happy to switch, I need something tart and delicious. Zachary talked the whole time we were eating. He told me how much he loved me and we laughed a lot. Then we went over to the mall to ride the carousel before heading home. It was a special evening for all of us. We love our kids and love these memories built.
