Friday after Thanksgiving

After we had lunch and visited, we went to Avoca (near Rogers) to spend the night at Ryan's mom's house. We got out there for a little bit of playtime then bedtime.


The girls' typical routine is to wind down at night by watching a short "show" (aka Dora, Barney, etc.). We just use our DVR and they watch it. We had a few DVD's so they watched a short movie on the portable DVD player, since that is all they have out there! It was cute them laying there watching it together. Courtney got up a lot and ran around, but that is because she was exhausted!


Then the next morning it was cool outside, but not too bad. The girls had their first 4 wheeler ride!! I don't know who had more fun...the girls or Ryan! He loved it!! He was in his element for sure! It was fun to watch him enjoy that and take the girls for rides too! Courtney didn't love it as much as Lindsey did, but she rode it a few times.



They also loved jumping on the trampoline!! This was a hit last weekend when they stayed there. Lindsey jumps and jumps. Courtney just holds hands or lays down for them to bounce her! It was a fun filled family day for sure!


Courtney was ready to come in and this is where she came...into the box of toys! :) Of course!

Then the next thin I knew she was quiet and working puzzles by herself. She has her moments of peace and not such high intensity, but not often!One of the things I am thankful for is such great uncles! And of course a great aunt! Kyle let them climb all over him and they were LOVING it!!
Here is Aunt Miah! You can see where she ended up at the table! It was a nice break for me! They love her so much!! They both wanted to sit by her, so that is where she ended up! Kyle was on the other side of Lindsey. Ryan and I were across the table from them! :)
This is our annual family picture! It is funny to look back and see how it has grown and we've changed! It is always in this spot!! Next year I'm guessing that Megan will be taller than me! We had on our Hog shirts because we always play LSU the day after Thanksgiving! We had a GCE! :) Ha! That is a Greatest Comeback Ever...inside joke for some of us! Anyway, it was a good game. Go Hogs! We watched some of the game there and then left for our last but not least Thanksgiving dinner with family!
