Thanksgiving

I apologize in advance for my serious lack of pics. I only took a few. We had a great time though. I was so excited because I found some free printables to decorate with this year. We had a banner, napkin rings, place cards and activity place mats. The kids had a turkey to color, tic tac toe boards and a place to list what they were thankful for (with help of course). The adults had a maze, a word scramble and places to list what you were thankful for. Mike did the maze the fastest and Jenny by far had the most words with the scramble.

We had our usual of fried turkey, ham, sweet potato souffle, loaded mashed potatoes, broccoli rice casserole aka sally, stuffing, cranberry salad, homemade mac and cheese and a corn casserole. We had pumpkin pie, pecan pie and a big fruit pie divided into fourths. It had cherry, blueberry, peach and apple. Jenny also perfected Gigi's famous pumpkin roll. No one can make it like Gigi but Jenny was spot on this time. We ate, put the kids for naps, watched the Cowboys almost storm a comeback and then ate some more. We ate leftovers until Saturday and they were still amazing.

Big Tio and Tia Nett came in town on Friday and spent the weekend. It was so nice to have them. They could not believe how much our babies had grown. Tia Nett commented on how long Monkey's legs were in his jeans. He is going to be one tall monkey! Adrian and Pips walked everywhere and had so much fun with them. Pips loved being held by Big Tio and rested her head on his shoulder. We laughed so hard because when they first got there, the two babies were in their highchairs eating snacks and they screamed for a good three minutes when they first walked in. Poor things. We played Adrian Bingo one night and Aikman got tired of it so said he was going to take a little break. He went and sat in Big Tio's lap and watched Casino Royale with him. I heard him ask once "is those the bad guys?" Preciousness! We played games, went shopping, ate and hung out. 

Such a nice holiday. I sure did miss Gigi and G-Bo. I know we all did but it was still a nice time and the kids had a blast. Pippa and Adrian had to eat in just a diaper and needed a bath after each meal. They LOVED it! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and spent time with the ones you love. We did!

*I apologize for no pics right now, they won't load so I will post them later.
