It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Give Thanks!

Ok - we are the most blessed family ever!  I don't have anything to complain about.  and neither do you!  We get up each morning and we see a sunrise and we labor through the day but at night we have a home where we can lay our heads and food on our tables!  God is good!

We spent our Thanksgiving with almost all of our family.  I look forward to the day when we are all together!  Maybe that will happen in 2011!

Our hosts for the long weekend!  Great job!

Misc. pictures including face painting, watching football, watching more football and playing with the kids!  All in all - it was a great weekend.

Sienna painted my face... just in case you couldn't tell!

Nola in the dolly stroller - yikes!

We're cool!

This one's for you Gary!

And, there were some extra funny surprise photos when Sienna got ahold of the camera!

It was a whole lot of fun!

Spooky

No need to explain - here are our little Trick or Treaters!
Not so scary.   Just sweet!

My bad habit! Things have got to change....

Yes, I said "my bad habit!"  I just can't seem to stay caught up with this blogging thing.  I know it's suppose to be fun but right now it is not!  I want to give everyone equal time on this thing and that is just not happening! I'm not talking kids either - I'm talking GRANDKIDS!

Well, for starters today, I must back up to Fall break.  We went to Austin at the last minute so we could see two of our grandchildren for a couple days since it seemed there was not much going on here at the home place.  We barely got started down I-35 and the calls started.  Before we got to Austin, we had sold a home.  While we were there, we sold two more!  How come no one needs us until we pack a bag and start out for a few days???  Thank heavens for cell phones and other misc. tech stuff!  Most of which I'm not even sure how it works - it just does! It connects me with you from hundreds of miles away and it's just like we are in the next room - or sometimes even the same room!!!

It was so much fun being there and on such short notice... they welcomed us!   I being a typical grandmother, I want my grandchildren to think I am THE very person in the whole wide world that they want to come visit them!   Here is where I post pictures of those beautiful children!!!!

Here is the wonderful, expensive and extraordinary gift we came bearing!  A wrap around monkey!!  She loved it!  Success!

The next big treat was riding in Juju's convertible!  Of course the baby had to come too and yes, we strapped her in also.

We always go to the park just about a block from their house and play and the climbing wall is a favorite!

Out to eat is always a challenge!

Kiddie Acres is a real treat with pony rides, mini golf, ferris wheel and much more! It was  a squeeze but Papa got in!!!

Our little helpers on Sunday morning!  It's a wonder we make it to church on time.
