Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in Andalusia this year. We always have lunch with my Dad's side of the family at my Uncle Donald's house. It is a great place for all the kids to play because they have a lot of open land. The girls had a blast! Gracie really loves getting to play with all of her cousins, especially Asa.

After lunch, we went to Matt's Aunt Calmese's house for dinner. Her granddaughter, Hannah has started riding horses, so we rode the mule and went to the pen to check out the horse. It was beautiful. Katherine wasn't real sure about it to start with, but she warmed up pretty fast.

On a side note, do you know anyone looking for a great guy to spend some time with? Allen is recently divorced and I'm keeping my eye out for a good woman to hook him up with:)

Happy (LATE) Birthday, Daddy!

I know this is SUPER late, but I wanted to add it anyway. Expect several more posts to come in the days to follow. I have a lot of catching up to do!

Matt's birthday was October 31st, otherwise known as Halloween. I try to set the day apart from all of the hustle and bustle of it actually being Halloween. We usually do our trick or treating at the zoo (see previous post) and we normally just go out to dinner for Matt's birthday on Halloween. This year, Gracie dressed up as a cat for their school party. She also handed out candy to the neighborhood kids before we left for dinner. I almost think she liked that better than getting candy herself. She was so funny. When she couldn't see any kids coming, she would yell "Kids, hey kids..." She cracks me up!

Oh yea, back to Matt's birthday:) He is officially older than 30!! I keep teasing him about being older than me, even though I know a lot of you have hit the mark this year and he keeps reminding me that I will also be hitting it soon. I just remind him that, no matter how old I am, he will ALWAYS be older than me!

Matt, I hope your birthday was happy. The girls and I love you SO much and I can't wait to spend the next 31 years with you! (Don't forget to stop the music before you try to play the video.)
