Christmas with Nana and Papa

Since Nana and Papa were moving to San diego right after Christmas we celebrated Christmas with them the weekend after Thanksgiving. We had a great big breakfast and then opened the gifts. It was a great relaxing morning.

Thanksgiving 2013

This year for Thanksgiving we got to go to Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Bruce's house in Marble Falls. We went and stayed at uncle Nathans house this year since nana and papa sold their house in Georgetown. Then on thanksgiving day we drove into marble falls and spent the day with the family. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins outside. There was a lot of football going on. That night Aunt Carolyn took us to see the Christmas lights in downtown by the lake. We are so blessed to have such a awesome family.

albuquerque is a turkey

Ryleigh's Thanksgiving program at school was very interesting. Let me first start by explaining the title. This is the title of one of the songs they sang and let me just say it is very catchy. You will go around singing it for days. My very outgoing, loves to sing and perform little girl was pouty the whole performance. I don't thing she sang a single song. The picture below is basically how she looked the whole time. Come to find out she was upset because she was suppose to stand by Samantha and didn't get to. Then through our lunch she cried the whole time. She was just not herself.

Halloween 2013

This year Ryleigh was snow white and Cooper was Bumblebee transformer. They picked their own costumes this year so not matching theme. I guess they have gotten to big for that :( Funny story about Nana, she had called and was asking the kids what they were going to be for Halloween and Ryleigh said snow white and then Cooper said I am going to be Bumblebee. Nana paused for minute and then said Trey is going to let Cooper be a bee? I quickly clarified that Cooper was a transformer named Bumblebee and not a buzzing bee. haha. Since I was still down from back surgery and could not ride in the car my mom came up and helped Trey take the kids to Boo on Ballard and then I got to go walk around the neighborhood with the kids. Cooper's school also had a trunk or treat that the kids got to go to also. It was a fun Halloween and kids got way to much candy.

Pumpkin picking and carving

Cooper's first kinder field trip

Cooper got to go on a field trip to the Owen's Farm pumpkin patch back in October 24, 2013. Since I had just had back surgery Trey went with him and they had a great time together. I am so happy that Trey gets to attend things with his kids. I don't have a whole lot to say about this day since I was not there but Trey did take pics so here they are.
