My Little Turkeys

We had a busy weekend! Friday Matt had his Thanksgiving Feast at school and Nene and Great Granny went to have lunch with him. The kids looked adorable and Matt was so proud of his costume that he wore it all day...even to eat dinner at Chuys later that night!! He told us the story about the Pilgrims and the Mayflower. We were so amazed at how much he had learned. We are SO happy with his new school! Notice horses in hand in the picture below. Gram bought these last weekend and they haven't been out of our sight!!! This kid LOVES horses. Marlie had a parade at school and each class had a wagon decked out to lead the class with all of the kids footprints on it. It was so cute. Marlie made it about 10 steps until she spotted Mom and Dad and then started crying!



Dad was so proud of her. She was still not too happy about the whole thing but we thought she was the cutest Indian we'd ever seen!

Matt had his last TBall game on Saturday. We sure are going to miss watching the kids and all the new friends we met. It was interesting to see the progress they made during the season. The first game we had parents on each base directing them where to go. On Saturday they pretty much did it all by themselves. It was great. Matt's been talking about wanting to play soccer next Spring but we might try baseball once more and return to soccer in the Fall. It's so much fun!!!

We helped put together our neighborhood Thanksgiving Feast on Saturday and we had a blast with our neighbors. EVERYONE has kids it seems so Matt and Marlie had fun. And those that don't have kids we've pretty much adopted as extra Grandparents.

Can't wait to celebrate Thanksgiving with our families! If I told you what I was thankful for you'd be reading this for another hour so I'll keep it short. We remember to thank God EVERY day for the wonderful things in life. Our two little turkeys are the greatest gifts we've ever been given and we could never say thank you enough for them!! Happy Thanksgiving!
