derosa date

Thanksgiving is now over and we are back to the cold, but for a few days we got to enjoy the sunny south.  

We got to meet this cutie patootie!

We finally have a niece! -Hopefully this will make for fun holidays with Lily in the future!

We also got to love on my favorite nephews.  (Drew and Ben could hardly wait to see their buds.)

So much to do in a short amount of time...

there was a lot of running and playing and laughing...

there was lots of snuggling with grammy and papa...

there was a very fun day at "Frankie's" doing this...

 and many rounds of this... (and putt-putt and the the biggest playland ever)

we even got a night of just the adults...

and of course not to be forgotten- the "big game" on Saturday, which ended happily ever after like this... (go blue!)

As the kid category grows, the time for shopping shrinks (though somehow the time for boys to golf goes unchanged?), but I actually just had fun relaxing with family and cooking a big Thanksgiving meal with my mom and sis.  We busted that thing out in record time with 5 children under our care!  :)

I love my family.
