Stick a fork in me, I'm done!!!!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year!! It is SO nice to be up here in the Woodlands so that we don't end up on the road for most of it. We actually got to spend time with family and not have to deal with a cranky Owen. I think a lot of it is that he's older but it also helps that he gets to spend some time at home.

The week started with tons of cousin time. We went to the zoo, ice skating, hung out at Mimi and Popi's and the kids got to have a few sleepovers. Owen loves spending time with Cam and Kayla and its amazing how much time they can spend together and really not fight. Owen's always been the type to like his routine and want to spend time with Bryan and I at home. This year he asked to spend the night away which is a BEAUTIFUL thing :) We also got to spend some quality time with Dave and Mel at the Goose's Acre in the Woodlands. Lots of food, drinks, and discussion of our crazy fam.

Leigh and Adam were only able to come in Wednesday night and had to head back Thursday evening. They spent the night and it was nice to get to spend some time with them. For Thanksgiving dinner we went to Uncle Dick and Aunt Sue's house in Conroe. It's always loud and crazy over there but Owen loved having more cousin time and getting to hang out with Estelle (she's my cousins daughter, whatever that makes her to Owen I have no idea). Dick tried to take some Christmas pictures for us which was ended by Owen stepping into the pond. He ended up in his skivvies for a while which for anyone who knows Owen knows, that's just how he likes it to be :)



On Friday we headed back to the Pear to watch the Aggies beat the hell out of Texas. It was an awesome game and Owen loved getting to hang out with his girlfriends Lauren and Hope.



Then finally today we had the Hulshofs over for Thanksgiving dinner. Colleen and Wayne brought Owen over a giant snake which Grandpa seemed to REALLY like. It was a nice low key day and Owen loves being the center of attention because he's the only grandkid :)

Tomorrow we are doing NOTHING!!!! The weather's supposed to be nasty so we'll try to talk Bryan into getting all the Christmas stuff out. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is staying dry and warm!
