This weekend we had tons of Thanksgiving fun! The whole family traveled up to Frisco to be with Mary Alice and Major's Grumpy, Nonnie,Uncle Chad and Aunt Miran. We did so many things that it seems too hard to narrow down, so I'll just stick with a few highlights...
Mary Alice and Major had so much fun at the area parks/playgrounds in Frisco. At one neighborhood pond over by my in-laws' house, they had fun feeding the massive amounts of ducks that reside there. Seriously. I have never seen so many birds and ducks all together in one little area. Mary Alice fed the ducks. She was way excited about getting to do this. Major, however, fed only himself, but had plenty of fun doing that. He would stuff his face full of white bread and than say "quack" or "duck" every once and a while. It was fun for the kids, but boy was I ready to get out of there! These white birds kept swooping down and circling overhead, waiting for the bread to be thrown. I was just counting the seconds until we were going to be pooped on or pecked. Yikes!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. Very very yummy. Josh, Chad, Miranda, and I went bowling at the Frisco bowling alley, which, by the way, is the nicest bowling alley EVER! We went to the movies with them, but I, personally, was much more entertained by Chad's antics than by the depressing movie we saw. We always have such a good time when we are with them.
A funny story about this weekend: Major was in the bathtub playing with some tub-toy alphabet letters. He was shouting out the names of letters. He looked at the W and said "W". He looked at the other letters, calling out "H"... "A".... "Q", etc. Then, all of a sudden, he yells out "Hiney!" I just looked at him with a puzzled expression, having no idea what he was talking about. He yells it again, "Hiney!" He looked up at the letters he had stuck to the side of the shower wall again and shouted, "Hiney!" He pointed to the sideways B stuck on the wall. Instead of a "B", Major called it what he thought it was, a "hiney". I laughed so hard. I guess he has heard his sister say that word enough that he has actually caught on to what it is. You might be wondering how and why my nineteen month old knows what a "hiney" is and exactly what it looks like. Just so you know, his sister has a "hiney dance" that she does on occasion (every night before bed) in which she drops her drawers and shakes her hiney at us to be funny.
Well, that's our weekend in a nutshell. I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with food, family, fun, and an abundance of good memories!

The hiney story gave me a good laugh tonight!
Avery is also a "bread eating duck feeder." She would never eat a plain slice of bread unless we are trying to feed it to the ducks...then all of a sudden it's a delicious treat. Sam even used to break off tiny bits of bread and feed them to Avery when they went to the duck pond together.
Your kids are so cute, and I love the hiney story as well as the fact that Mary Alice does a hiney dance!
What was the depressing movie you saw?
Walk the Line... It was depressing to me because I personally don't like movies that glorify men having affairs on their wives and promoting it as a great love story. It was depressing also because I wondered if Mr. Cash ever knew Jesus.
That was the cutest story ever! Major sounds just as smart as Mary Alice!
That Major is a funny boy! Thanks for the laughs and sharing the precious pictures.
