Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  We had a super yummy meal at Rudy & Jeanie's and just like the past few years, my dad came (along with a friend this time!).  Dad also brought the amazingly delicious pies from the Flying Saucer again.

Of course I have no proof of this as once again, I did not take any photos.  I had every intention of taking some pics of dad and the kiddos but then Ryan laid down for a nap and I forgot. Sorry Dad!

After lunch and after our guest left, Ava (who had been showing off her soccer skills and uniform), we caught up with the neighbors. Their granddaughter Caroline was over (you might have seen her a long time ago on the blog).  I think it has been at least a year since Ava has seen her but she remembered her and the 2 of them had a great time running around together.

 Ryan woke up and since no one knew where his jacket was (and it was a little chilly), he borrowed one of Ava's hoodies...thankfully not one of her pink ones so that he could join in the fun.

Thanksgiving Holiday & Twister

Once again we headed down to Conroe for the week of Thanskgiving.  For many reasons, I did not take too many photos.  One, I think having 2 kids (one of whom is a baby that I hold) limits the amount of photos I can take.  Second, Darren & Rudy did a lot of work on the dock that week (since there is no water in the canal - sad but true) so that made it so there was one adult per child.  Third, well I'm just not as good at busting out the camera as I used to be.

Anyways.  While in Conroe, we went over to Ian & Emily's other grandparent's house (so Uncle Mike's family's house) to see the cousins and Donna & Mike for a bit since they were not spending Thanksgiving with the Okruhliks this year.

And Ava played twister for the first time with Ian...think she liked it?

We are all excited for Christmas this year since we will get to be with the Friends.  Ava always enjoys the good cousin quality time!

Silly Faces

You can really see the similarity here between these 2 (not that you can't normally see it anyway).

Soccer Trophy

Yep this is the size of the trophy you get for participation in U5 soccer in Lake Travis.  I would hate to see the size of the trophy if they actually played in a league where you could win.  They would probably be enormous!  I think when I was a kid the trophies like this were for 1st place and the participation stuff was about 1/5th the size of this.

Ava of course was excited about it.  This is her very own "soccer trophy" pose..too funny with the leg up.  Not sure why she thought to do that.
