We drove to Pearland to stay with Grandma and Pawpaw over Thanksgiving and celebrated with with lots of family and friends...
After our yummy Thanksgiving meal with my whole family, the kids exchanged Christmas gifts early since we won't be seeing each other again at Christmas. Make silly faces for the camera! Maybe next year we'll try to get some better posed pics with the adults and kids.

Then we headed down to Alvin to celebrate with our dear friends, the Westinghouse family. The kids had a great time and we all enjoyed watching them play together.
TJ, Travis, Audrey and Shelby above.
Alli posing with Shelby. Somehow I missed posting a pic of Alli's friend Autumn (I think Steph took the cute pics of them).
Mommy with Alli (taken by Autumn- not a bad little photographer).
Lots of fun was had with the "TJ" wig. What's really funny is Daddy's hair actually looked like that when he was TJ's age. As sad as I'm sure his mom was to see it go- I'm pretty glad it doesn't still look like that- not quite as cute on a 30 something yr old.
Alli having fun with the wig too!
The day after Thanksgiving, we headed down to Bayou Wildlife Park with my mom, my sister April, and all the kids...
My favorite animal at the park- a Zonkey! How cool is that!
Cade (7), Maddy (almost 6), Gavin (4), Grandma (she would kill me), Alli (3), TJ (2) and Lainey (4).
Aunt April and TJ. When the buffalo came along and stuck his head in the tram, TJ jumped from that platform and into April's lap burying his head in her chest in one very swift motion. It was pretty funny.
Lainey, Maddy and Alli checking out the animals and waiting to feed something.
This was a very hands-on experience!
Cade wanting to feed the ostrich but not wanting to get too close.
This guy never moved from this spot and he would make a hilarious grunting sound when you rubbed him. Not sure if he was pleased or if he just wanted to be left alone. I left him alone just in case.

The extended stay at Grandma and Pawpaw's was really nice and we loved getting to see so many people that we love but live so far away from.
