We're so excited for Thanksgiving week!  Wish it were warmer.  The high today was 34.  Seems like every time we have company from the north, we have cold weather!!!  We can't wait for Tracen and Justin families to come.  Remember…anyone's invited!  

Most of these pictures are of Maddie. A few weeks ago,  I took her on an overnight shopping trip about 45 minutes away at an amazing mall.  We had a great time.  She was so excited to go, that when she saw me pull up to the school to pick her up…she started running and fell on a ledge.  Twisted her ankle hard!!  It made the whole trip an adventure!  We stopped at Target for a wrap and some frozen peas to ice it and headed out!  She was swollen and hurting pretty bad, we barely made it up to the hotel room.  So we found crutches at a CVS and used those for a night. We went to a dine in theatre and saw "Gravity"

 The crutches and luggage rack worked great for the movie night, but shopping just wasn't going to happen…crutches are hard!  So we looked it up and sure enough, the mall had free wheelchairs.  Maddie has NEVER lasted that long shopping.  We had so much fun!!!!  This picture above is my favorite.  She got to spend as much time as she wanted in a book store.  It was the larger portion of the day!

 New coat and scarf!  And a hands on tutorial with a curling iron!

 She is a "Who-vian" through and through.  This window display is all Doctor Who stuff.  She was insanely excited!

 This is a picture of our land. The sale was final a few weeks ago and we're finalizing house plans now.  We're excited! Our property ends at those trees.  There's a field behind it with cows which we're super excited about.  Also, we can see the church from our backyard!  yay!

                                    The brothers relaxing after school in our breakfast nook with a couch:)

 Just a "little" snake skin Isaac discovered in our front yard bushes.  It was still soft….. and Clara found a smaller snake

Now it's dark when we go to piano lessons, but our park has lots of floodlights so as long as someone else is there playing (because I'm chicken) we stop and play anyway!

 Nori and her friend at the 1st grade Thanksgiving Feast!

Look at my cute pregnant sister!  We LOVED having them here while Marc interviewed at Baylor.  We are crossing our fingers that they choose to come here.  Because of course he will get in!  We had fun shopping, eating frozen yogurt, and just hanging out!  It went too fast! Oh,  and a bit of fun at the dental office was had by all.  Actually, it was sort of miserable, but what a good sport!

Well I guess I didn't take any pictures on my phone of our trip to Lubbock:(  We went for Ava's baptism and loved it.  She looked beautiful and it was such a nice weekend all around.  Justin and Kim are good hosts.  Everyone should go to Lubbock to visit them.  Corey will have to upload pictures from the nice camera later. 

Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We especially miss mom and dad right now!  And I know while I'm fixing Thanksgiving dinner, there will be a million times I will wish I could call mom and ask her how to do something!  Love you! These are a couple of our Thankful Turkey feathers.  We used the talk you suggested mom for FHE, when we did our turkey.
