Thanksgiving

We had a very nice week off of school (and even a few days away from work)with our families for the holiday! My whole family was here, as well as my grandma from Las Vegas. It was great to see everyone and I'm so thankful for family. I'm grateful that my husband and I enjoy being around each others' families. It could be awfully stressful if one of us didn't like our inlaws. And I appreciate him letting me go to Twilight (I LOVED IT...missed you katrina) with the girls and shopping, even though I know he'd rather be doing other things. Thanks Mr. He knows it's a give & take role anyways! AND...For staying up late and being tired the boys did really well. I love my children so much. They make me laugh and that's what we want in our home. Happiness and laughter!

We went to the Allen high school football game at Texas Stadium. As you know the new Cowboys stadium is being built. So this is the last year they'll play at Texas stadium. It was nice to go one last time. The kids had a fun time...eating nachos and popcorn more than the game, but still. The team is in the playoffs and I must say they are really good! Shawn runs the flags that spell EAGLES after each touchdown so we got to see him, too. Gotta love Texas high school football!!!

the cousins...oh how funny kids are

4 generations- Chris and I love that our kids know my grandmas' and Chris' grandparents. Colin still remembers my grandpa Fox too, which is really neat. We didn't know our great grandparents, so this is pretty special.

Katrina and Logan (Ryans' little papoose...he loves to be swaddled) both so cute!
