Thanksgiving

Here are a few pics to document a wonderful day!  My grandma, Aunt Allison, parents, and sister's family came to our house this year to enjoy a day of thanksgiving!

Pappy with his grandkids ready to roast marshmallows.

 Oma, the s'mores' assembler.

Pretty sure she just stuffed a marshmallow in there!!
 Yummo...



Our Thanksgiving tree, the Psalms, hymns, and cherry pie.
 
 All the different things our family was thankful for during November!

Not one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving weekend, but a documentable picture of pouty cousins, none the less.

George and Hudson's Birthdays

In November, George turned 1 and Hudson turned 7 within 5 days of each other.  George didn't have the grandest of parties, but we made him a hat, sang him happy birthday and gave him a cupcake which he loved!  He enjoyed it all and we got a few pics to document, I think we hit the highlights!

Hudson requested rock climbing so Mark took him and his friend John Michael to a climbing gym.  They LOVED it.  John Michael got to spend the night and then there's always breakfast cake and Chick-fil-a to make a great birthday celebration.

 Elliot and Nate didn't get to climb, but were a gracious audience and had a fun time watching.




Boys Need No Explanation






 Sent Nate to his room for a bit and found him asleep like this.    I can't tell you how many times I've found this kid asleep in the funniest places.
 Gamma sent us a bunch of costumes.  The Crouch boys were over the day the box came.  They couldn't get those costumes on fast enough.  Thanks Gamma!  They are a favorite at our house.


My Grandma's 80th Birthday

We went to Austin in early September for my grandma's 80th birthday.  It was a big weekend!  My Aunt Carla came in from California and we all enjoyed a weekend filled with good food and fun.

We went out for some yummy Mexican food Friday night.


My mom, Aunt Allison, Aunt Carla, and my sister's putting-it-all-together work,  made a memento book for my grandma.  They got friends and family to write in with letters about fun times and special memories to express our thanks for all is to us.  This is her opening it.
