Thanksgiving 2011

This year, I went to Dallas for Thanksgiving.  Chris would have gone with me, but the Razorbacks were playing against LSU in Baton Rouge, so of course he had to go cheer them on!  We ended up losing, but I know Chris had fun with his cousin, Darien.  I went on Tuesday after school with both dogs.  The traffic was horrible going to Dallas, but I finally made it there Tuesday night.  Nathan and Charlotte were both still up waiting on me.  I loved seeing both of them!  Wednesday we got dressed and went to Target.  I promised Nathan some light-up tennis shoes and he was sooo excited to pick some out.  He looked so cute in them :)  We ran a few more errands and then Mom, Jen, Robert, and Alexandra came over to Ashley's house to pick up Nathan to go to Lego-Land.  Alexandra stayed with me and Ash and Charlotte.  I just could not believe how tall Alexandra was and how grown up looking she looked.  She is the PRETTIEST girl!  That night we went to mom and dad's for dinner.  On Thursday, we had a great Thanksgiving lunch.  Ashley cooked the turkey all by herself and it turned out perfectly!!  I ate so much during lunch that I absolutely could not eat another bite the rest of the day....I almost could not even drink water!!  Here are some pics from Thanksgiving 2011:

My little buddy waited up for me :)

Charlotte sure did enjoy giving the dogs scraps of food...they loved it too! 

This is what Otis looks like after a full day of play with Nathan and Charlotte...ha! 

Getting ready for Thanksgiving lunch.  What a pretty baby!  She loves to look pretty.  Mama made this dress.  Is it not the cutest?! 

And here is the cook!  Look at that turkey!  It was as delicious as it looks.  Good job Ash! 

Nathan had so much fun with Robert!  Here they are making guns out of legos...typical boys :) 

Here's Jen's family with one bonus family member :)  Alexandra, Jen, and Robert.

Grandma loved holding Charlotte.  She just slept and slept on Grandma. 

This is how we all felt after eating our Thanksgiving lunch!! 

Nathan and Grandmother (Wayne's mom) 

The Birthday Girls!  Alexandra's birthday was on the 22nd and Mom's was on the 24th...Thanksgiving Day! 

Daddy got mom a new iPhone 4!!!!!!!!  We were all a little jealous. 

Look who woke up! 

Money for shopping...always a good choice of gift for a teenager! 

Here are the dogs eating their Thanksgiving dinner.  I put little pieces of turkey in each of their bowls and boy, were they in HEAVEN!! 

Friday me, Ash, Jen, and Alexandra went to The Dry Bar.  It's a hair place where all they do is wash and then style your hair.  You can choose from several different looks.  We all went with some type of curl.  I never wear my hair that way, so it was fun to do something completely different.

The finished product!  I looked totally different with curls in my hair!  What a fun thing to do with the girls! 

Daisy is WORN out!  Nathan loved chasing Daisy around the house and Daisy loved having someone to run after and play with!  On the way home, she slept the WHOLE way and even when we got home she slept the rest of the day.  Nathan is so great with my two dogs....even naughty Daisy :) 

Charlotte used to be a little unsure about the dogs, but she has definitely warmed up to them now.  Daisy of course, loves her! 

Two cute little girls! 

I had such a fun time seeing everyone.  It was kind of weird thinking this was the last time I would travel anywhere until after Pearce comes :)
