Ahhh... Thanksgiving

By Kerry -
Go HORNS!!!!! Number TWO?!?!?! Are you crazy? Andy and I had the chance to go to the UT v. Texas A&M game last night. We had tons of fun, the rain held off, and the weather was gorgeous at 72 degrees when they kicked off at 7 pm. It was our last UT game in the student section, but a great time. Hmmm... maybe next year we'll get season tickets for the whole family... the down side of the student section is that you stand... you stand the whole time... even during half-time you stand... do you know what standing on a metal bleacher after cooking Thanksgiving Dinner and chasing two rugrats around all morning does to 33 year-old hips and knees??? Ahhh, the joys of being a student... I should have brought some yule-tide cheer with me in a flask like all of the other students did :-)


While we were out playing, Addison and Emme had the chance to make their first gingerbread house with Nana and Papa. They had fun and only tried to eat a few of the candies. Addison did the right side and Emme did the left. Not bad!

Just to clarify -- the girls really did all the deco work once we had put the pieces together with the frosting "glue".
Emme did try to eat two spice drops --
but we managed to save them for the house...

Had a great time!!

   Well, we finally made it to Arkansas after a very, very, very, very long night. There was on-and-off driving, sleeping (well, it was really a lot of little naps) on the couch, the table seat, my real bed for about two hours, then back to the table seat. But we made it!    On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, we played with Billy and EJ, built forts, and spent a lot of time on the lake. But today, Billy and EJ were back in school and my sisters and I had nothing to do. So Uncle Gannon took us to Crystal Bridges. We saw some really cool things, went on some trails, and got lost for about half an hour. But it was worth it!     We are leaving on Thursday, so we have one more day to have fun with our cousins and then it's off to the next state and the next adventure. ~ Emme

DISNEY (part 2)

Day Three started out EARLY!  We had 7:30 reservations at Chef Mickey, so we left Nana and Papa to sleep in and we headed out for our next adventure.  Tons. Of. Fun. AGAIN!!  The girls loved dancing around and thought it was super cool that we let them have as much syrup and whipped cream on their pancakes and hot cocoa as they wanted! Here are the girls dancing around after breakfast. Donald was a definite favorite! But Goofy really got Emme's attention.  They were fast friends!! After breakfast, we decided to relax around the pool for a bit before heading to Hollywood Studios.  Addison got up the nerve to go down the super long water slide.  It was really cool to watch her do that!  Emme wasn't quite as brave, but loved spending time in the pool! After the pool, we all headed back to our rooms and the girls took a long nap.  They had been going so fast, they finally needed time to crash!!
