Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Day to everyone! I'm so very thankful for my awesome family that came up from Houston to spend Thanksgiving with us! I'm also thankful my brother got to come as well! Finally, he's off a Thankgiving! My mom's cousin came as well as my brother's girlfriend and her child. Because of the full house this year, my mom offered to host.
Here are some pics of our fun day:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

November

Another busy month flying by us as we speak. The kids are getting ready for the holidays ahead, Matt and I taking more steps to getting the house ready to sell possibly in the spring. Of course, there's still the schooling, working, cleaning, and everyday adventures in between that either are planned or surprised. I remember some years back when it was just Ava, Matthew, and Rachael and they were all playing so well together. I actually remember being...board. Well you can rest assure that I'll never feel or think that way again. Here is a few things that were going on this month.

Ava continues with horseback riding lessons and what a surprise, Matthew actually decided to join her! He's doing well and catching up quick. Rachael and Jillian are practicing for their dance routine for The Charlie Brown Christmas play the WAG group is performing. The older three are still working on their music for the Christmas recital coming up next month. Speaking of music, I took them all to the Meyerson to watch the Dallas Symphony perform. It was great! We all loved the cute little conductor with the bouncing hair. Even Jake and Jillian sat in their seats (most of the time) and watched it.

  As Matt and I still hunt for our future land, we are slowly but surely getting the house ready. This month we painted our new school room (which was the old toy room) and put in desks, bookshelves, and a little table with chairs for the little ones. It now officially looks like a school room! We had to get tires on the Toyota so the new wood flooring is on hold until next month. Hopefully by the end of this year, that room will be completely done!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our little trick or treaters

This year we opted out of our usual All Saints party at the church and went trick or treating with some friends. We had a blast! This was the first time trick or treating for the twins and a first for me to go with them! I wish I brought the camera along with us...all the kids were so cute and had so much fun!
