thanksgiving

we went to my mother-in-law's house for thanksgiving this year. it has been too long since we were there. no offense to anyone who has ever cooked for me...but my mother-in-law is the best cook on the planet. (mom-YOU make the best popcorn!) she made a delicious thanksgiving dinner and some yummy gumbo while we were there. we also went out to eat at a place with live alligators. it was a very nice, relaxing week playing games, catching frogs, doing a craft and hanging out with family.

the girls decorated the cake

last day of school...before thanksgiving break, that is

i don't know about yall, but i am so ready for thanksgiving this year. i have taken a week off of cooking to celebrate. my girls were also very excited to be free from homework for a while and to eat some of oma's cooking. here are some pics from the last day of school.

school's out!

we love fall!

i think fall is quickly becoming my favorite season (now that we live in fort worth). as houstonians the climate did not encourage the leaves to turn such beautiful colors. we are blessed to live in a neighborhood with so many trees. the above pic is from my unraked yard. who wants to rake up such beauty?

thanks reagan!

does anyone think jackson looks like chuckie in this pic?

harvestfest

every year our church has trunk or treat, games, hayride and food for folks in our church and community. this year was loads of fun. thanks to uncle rex, aunt leanne, granny and grandpa mac for coming and making it even more fun.

before the harvestfest, uncle rex and jackson took pictures with their cruz azul hats from mexico.
