Thanksgiving 2011

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. Dad & Faye came in from Texarkana & David invited Tracy & Chad to join us. Of course, Grandma & Grandpa were there also. Despite a little stress, we pulled it off & everyone enjoyed some yummy food & good company. We are so thankful we could provide a nice meal for our family & friends.

Holiday Magic 2011

We have a lot of catching up to do.....and what better way to begin with a little Holiday Magic. Gavin & I got tickets to the Arlington Junior League "Holiday Magic" where he saw Santa, met the Build a Bear, enjoyed some crepes & cocoa, & saw some fun Christmas dancing by a local dance company. Gavin's friend, Claire, & her Mommy, Lori were there with us.

Gavin loved being on stage.

No matter how hard I tried, Gavin would not smile.

Halloween

Halloween night, we actually put Gianna in her angel costume for a few minutes to take pictures.

Gavin's favorite part was watching for kids to come up so he could give them candy.

The second pumpkin we carved on Halloween night.

We carved pumpkins a little too early this year, but they were cute while they lasted. We did a Texas Ranger theme. Daddy did the flag, Mommy did the "T" & well, Gavin did lots of different shapes & ended up with a classic jack-o-lantern face.
