Seems like I am always behind on my blogging so I will catch up from Thanksgiving, Big Brother, Big Sister luncheon and weekend with the little girls.

My pictures are not in order but guess they will have to do. One of these days I am going to get this all down but for now I am doing good to just get a post made.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in Abilene. The food turned out good even if I had to cook it. The company was great and it was just wonderful spending time with everyone and all the little ones. We all attended the ACU football game on Saturday. ACU had their first loss of the year but that put them out of the playoffs. It was sad to see them loose but I bet I know some girls that will be glad to have their daddy and husband home a little more now. Congratulations Jason on a great year. Sunday we attended church together and had lunch at Ashley's before we all headed back home.

Thursday, I decided to take the day off and attend the Big Brother, Big Sister luncheon with Ashley and Jordan. I am so glad I went because they showed their video and presented the winner that day. We had no idea they were doing that. Guess what? Ashley and Jordan won the video contest and received a video camera for first place. I was so proud for them, but most of all I was PROUD OF THEM for giving their time to make a difference in a child's life. I got to meet Ashley's boss and "K's" mother and grandparents also. I am glad I took my kleenex along because I shed a few tears just watching the video.

I brought Morgan and Kennedy home with me from Abilene Thursday also. MaMaw kept them for me on Friday. Morgan thinks MaMaw is just one of the kids because she plays with her so much. Isn't it neat that she knows her great grandmother so well. She always wants to know where's MaMaw or says well how's MaMaw doing. I think MaMaw was pretty worn out by the time I got off of work. We had a great weekend. Morgan helped her PaPaw feed the horses, haul fire wood and help with Christmas decorations and even got a little riding time in. Donald and I decided to take the girls to the Fantasy of Lights Saturday since it was always a Christmas tradition when the girls were growing up. Morgan loved them and I think Kennedy enjoyed them too. Ha!

Cooper, maybe your mommy and daddy will be ready for a break next year and you can come spend the weekend with us and go see the Fantasy of Lights with Morgan and Kennedy.

Sunday we all went to church. Morgan and Kennedy went to Mondie's class. Morgan is a little too old for that class, but she said she did not know anyone else in the other class so she wanted to go there. (She is so shy about meeting people you know) Ha!

Morgan was begging her daddy to please let her stay "just one" more night. We even turned the reindeer into Rudolf. I will post pictures of that later. It was a wonderful few days with the kiddos. Donald and I laughed when we were at the mall (taking Morgan to see Santa) hoping no one was watching us as we tried to get the stroller set up. Morgan told her PaPaw that he had the carrier on backwards. Oopps! We are a little out of tune on those things these days.

It has been a busy few weeks. I have been working on the Christmas decorations so I will make a post on that soon...hopefully before Christmas is over. Thanks everyone for sharing your time with us. We love you all very much.
