Gig 'Em

For everyone who doesn't know the Aggies and longhorns played last night, and for the second year in a row the

Aggies 'sawed those horns off'

So, for all my fellow Ags - Gig 'em and for all the others:

sorry 'bout your bad luck!!

Thanksgiving Day

We got dressed to go to Grandmother's for Thanksgiving and Katie said '"Are you going to take our picture?" I've warped her, I guess!! So what did we do-we went outside to take pictures - haha!! It was really cold, so we didn't stay out long!

We had such a good time at Grandmothers, there were lots of family and lots of good food!!

This is Grandmother (my mom's mom) MamaJan (my mom) and Rylie!

This is Hallie (our little cuz)!

Here are some of the kiddos all playing together - isn't that sweet!

Ty, Hallie, Katie, and Desirae

Rylie and Hallie

Ty and Katie love each other very much! They both talk about one another all the time!

Katie and Hallie

Desirae is ready for Christmas with her antlers on!!

Ty loves to say "on your mark, get set, go" and takes off - Katie was like okay I guess I'm supposed to run now so off she went...

They were all so good playing together, taking turns, and coming up with new things to do all by themselves!

Ty thought of getting in the wheelbarrow, so he did and the girls just started pushing away!

Then Jason pushed them all!

Kodi and her little cuz Hallie!

Desirae just loves horses - so she and Katie spent some time petting the horses!

They were getting so cold, we needed to go in, so we said we would play a game to get them to go in. As soon as we got inside, Ty and Katie said "what game are we going to play?' So, Aunt Patty came up with BOWLING. Empty coke cans make good pins and an onion makes a good ball. They enjoyed that for quite a while! Katie kept score on a paper plate! We had a really good day!

Since Ryan went hunting, we spent the night at MamaJan's and helped put up her Christmas tree the next day. Katie had just as much fun with that one as she did ours!!

Visit to Cisco and Our Christmas Tree Goes Up

We went to visit Nenaw and Papaw and Allison (Ryan's Moms parents and sister) in Cisco this past week. I only got pics of Katie and Nenaw making cookies cause I forgot to take my camera out when we drove around the property - Katie got to feed the fish in the tank and put out corn for the deer - she thought she was big stuff! We really enjoyed our visit with them.

It's time for Christmas ... almost!
We got out all the Christmas stuff and then Ryan had to eventually grab Rylie and make a wall of himself to keep her out of all the stuff - but we got a few pics first...

By the way - that little girl walks more than she crawls now - of course, her preference is to be held by me - haha!

Katie loved helping decorate the tree, she put on the first ornament and just kept on going until they were all used!

Grani gave us this big snowman last year, Katie thinks it should stay inside so she and Rylie can play in it like a tent - so it probably will!!

Playing Around

The girls are loving their swingset - we go out and play just about everyday!! Grani brought Presley over a few days ago and they all got to play together- they really enjoyed it!

Katie loves pushing Rylie almost as much as swinging herself!
