Wordless Wednesday - Harvey family pictures!

Thanksgiving Recap!

 When Andy got off work on Tuesday we headed to Houston for a quick visit with William and Amy and to see their new house.  We had a great time with them even though it was short and are looking forward to Christmas and seeing them again. 

When we woke up on Wednesday we had a quick breakfast with William and Amy and headed to Bridge City! Of course one of the first things we had to do was swing!  Rob and Amy got to BC a little while after us and we enjoyed the weather outside!

 Thursday morning we woke up and got ready for Thanksgiving!  I love the picture below of Savannah watching the Parade. 

 Savannah and Mommy ready for Thanksgiving meal!

 Savannah was very interested in Pa and the Turkey!

 Check out the face when she realized he had to take the bones and stuff out :)

 After the meal we spent sometime outside playing football...

 drawing with chalk...

 and of course swinging some more.  Notice three swings and three cousins enjoying the time together!

 Friday and Saturday morning consisted of everyone in the house getting the stomach bug.  It was horrible but we still managed to get the kids outside and play!

Although we got the sickies we still had a great time and can't wait for Christmas!  It is so fun to watch the cousins play together and always a good time when the siblings can get together and laugh! 

Visit to Dallas

Saturday morning Savannah, Bruce, and I went to Dallas to visit family before Thanksgiving!  We mostly hung out with Ryan, Samantha, and Addisyn and although we are exhausted we had a great time!

 We were so pumped to go to ICE at the Gaylord Texan.  The experience was even better because Ryan scored 1/2 price tickets!

 trying to get the kids to smile on the sleigh :)

 Waiting for our time!

 Bruce was so excited to have his hat and gloves on...when it was time to put the parka on he was way less thrilled

 Of course we all wanted to do the slide.  Samantha got some great pictures of the kids coming down.

 The funniest was Bruce laying straight on his back as he came down :)

 I love my little man!

 Savannah with the Giraffe

 After church on Sunday we headed to the park for a little while.  Addisyn has learned how to do the monkey bars and was very excited to show us!

 Monday morning before heading back home we went to Chuckee Cheese with Aunt Jenny.  The kids had a blast and slept half way home!

Now to do laundry and re-pack! We leave tomorrow for William and Amy's house and then Wednesday on to Pa and Ma's!

Christmas card sneak peak!

Weekend Wrap-up!

We had another great November weekend!  Thursday night I had another volleyball game at Andy's old school.  He brought the kids and enjoyed seeing his old friends.  After my game while watching the 8th grade finish Bruce decided he wanted to write.

He was concentrating so hard and so proud of himself when he saw lines on the sheet of paper. 

 I know I have said it before but I work for a great district and I really do enjoy my school.  Every year we have a Vetern's day ceremony and invite friends and family that have served in our military.  It is always a special event but this year was made more special by a blackhawk helicopter!  At the end of the ceremony it actually took off in front of us.  Really cool!  Thank you for all who have served and are still serving in the military.  WE owe our freedom to you!

 Saturday morning after cleaning the house we decided to run to Target and look around.  We are trying to get ideas for Christmas and Target is fun for all of us.  After eating pizza in the concession stand and getting slurpies and popcorn we were off to explore.  Andy calls the picture below gangster style. :)

 After Target we needed to run to the mall for a quick purchase so we let the kids ride the merry-go-round.  They love it!  And they are spoiled because later that night they spent the night with Papa and Nana and were taken back to the mall to jump and ride the carosel!

 Saturday night Andy and I got a special date night.  WHile the kids stayed with Papa and Nana we went to see the Counting Crows!  Jason and Jill bought us all tickets for Andy's graduation present.  We met them at Pei  Wei then drove downtown for the concert.  When we got downtown Jill wanted to get some coffee before so we went to this cute little cafe with a courtyard inside! 

 We had a great time at the concert but we were reminded why we like to have actual seats instead of standing.

Thanks Jason and Jill for the tickets and for double date night!

 

Now getting through this crazy week before the Thanksgiving break!
