Thanksgiving 2K13

So much to be thankful for this year, but most of all that Rick is doing well after having shoulder surgery.  We've enjoyed a wonderful week filled with many of our holiday traditions.  We put up the tree and the kids, mostly Delaney and Jax helped bake some Thanksgiving goodies.  I love that even though they are getting older, they still love helping out.  

The kids anticipated Thanksgiving Day more than ever this year, as they couldn't wait to spend the day with their cousins. 

It looked like it might be super cold this year, but it warmed up just in time for Turkey Day so the kids could enjoy their annual football game. 

November Tailgate

Between soccer and football, it was difficult to get to Stillwater and tailgate. With football over, we finally made a day of it in November.  We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day in November. 

The boys enjoyed the ESPN game day course, while we took the girls around campus for a little shopping.  We stumbled upon cheer practice and the girls had to wait until they were finished so they could get their picture taken with them. 

These are the kind of fall days I love.  

Halloween

Maybe because the kids are getting older, but I had a hard time getting into the spirit of Halloween this year.  Baylor learned that a beard is no fun! Jax learned that most people are not familiar with Percy Jackdon but he didn't care. 

We made our usual rounds.  The kids had fun, which is all that matters.
