Thankful for Thanksgiving

Oh how I love this time of year. I really love when Brett is home for more than a couple of quick days and we can just hang out and enjoy our family time. Brett took off Tuesday last week so he and I could go Christmas shopping together. We had SUCH a fun day and we got a lot done (thanks Grandma Becky!!) Then Tuesday night we headed to Arkansas for a Walker Thanksgiving. It was fabulous...the food, the family, the football oh yes and the late night Baylor Basketball games were fun too. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the time with my little brother- that Johnny Walker is a piece of work. The girls adore Bob and Gigi, as do I.... The weather was PERFECT. The first couple of days it was gorgeous, the boys played 2 rounds of golf and the girls frequented the park! Then, as if on cue, on Sunday morning as we were packing up the beautiful snow flurries began to fall!

Anna's favorite toy at Gigi's- by far- was Addie....and that old dog was quite a good sport!
Avery got lots of fun surprises from Gigi- this is her magnet snowman!Avery doing her "craft"- building a snowman and of course using LOTS of glitterAnna got a present too! Light up socks, she was thrilled!And from mom..matching Christmas PJ's!Anna was DONE with picture taking and big sis looks ready for bed too!Bright and early the next morning the girls are ready to goPlaying with Uncle JohnnyUncle John, unwillingly holding Anna for a quick photo opAvery doing another Christmas craftThe girls checking out the snow fallingGetting some last minute playtime in at Gigi'sAnd one more story time with Bob...Brett and his girls enjoying the first snowfall!
