Blessings!

We have SO very much to be thankful for this year and every year!  We hit the road last Monday and made our way back to Texas to celebrate with friends and family that we haven't seen in a while.  The kids were so excited to see their friends again.

I don't know how I missed getting pictures, shame on me! The kids had their first sleep over on Tuesday night at the Z's house.  ALWAYS a blast there.  Chia Lu will have to share any pics she got of the four of them.

We had a Thanksgiving dinner with Lolly, Pop, Z's and Papaw on Wednesday night so that we could eat on the leftovers longer!  ;o)  What a crazy night...I know Papaw got some great pics, so I hope to post them later.  After dinner we ditched the kids at the White House and enjoyed some quiet time.

I "borrowed" some pics from the best blogger ever!  While the kids waited on lunch they had a mid-morning swim...what?!?  You don't go swimming on Thanksgiving Day?!?  Neither do I, brrr...

They had a blast...you try getting 6 kids under 9 to look at the camera at the same time while in the swimming pool!  

I managed to squeeze in some cuddle time on the couch before lunch.  He is the cutest!  

Good friends are such a blessing!  I pray they never forget each other!!!

With Thanksgiving over (almost),  Little Pumpkin was ready to get into the Holiday spirit!  Christmas nails with Lolly.  Truly a favorite thing to do while at Lolly's!

Another favorite at Lolly & Pop's?  Cuddle time.  Cute boys...couldn't resist getting this pic!  Surprised Pop's eyes are actually open! ;o)  

Our last meal together was chosen by Little Lion, "Shotguns."  I know that sounds like an appropriate name for a Texas restaurant, however, it is actually Shogun.  A hibachi style Japanese restaurant that the kids love....as you can tell they were mesmerized by the chef!   

Saying goodbye is hard to do.  So why not stall it with some pictures!  I have never seen my kids so opinionated on poses and arrangement of people in the picture.  I will say, I'm glad we got this one with Papaw.

What a great way to spend our Thanksgiving break enjoying some of the people we are most Thankful for!  Love you all!
