ThANksGiViNG.... mom & dad visit! :)

The last couple of weeks have FLOWN by! I had some major surgery on the 17 of Nov (no, not a boobjob, tummy-tuck or lipo...hahaha, I wish)!, was 'out of commission' for that whole week, then my parents flew in for the Thanksgiving vacation! And NOW it's Dec 5th....crazy! Good thing I have a lot of my shopping done! :) .....anyway, things are great now, I have all my essential bodily functions back to normal and I am feeling like I could run a marathon! ;)
The Fam is doing fantastic! McKall is loving school, soccer, friends AND Texas! Alec is a great student and loving playing basketball for the Middle School and for a competitive league. Ryann is happy in school, sassy, and plays soccer like a little rock-star! Kaden is still a little devil, but, is doing great in school, playing on a basketball team, & making a ton of friends! Dan is busy with running the West and traveling, but always finding time to build a shed, throw the ball & help with homework...& these days....... cook & clean! hahaha!
Here is just a few pics of the last couple of crazy weeks!

checkin out the pool...brrrrrr! definitely TOO cold to swim!
atop the slide....cheesy!
Grandma's FAMOUS SUGAR COOKIES!! FUN TIMES!
Pics at the LONGHORN park....Pic after Thanksgiving dinner....we ate OUT...at Texas Land And Cattle! Nothin better than making a new tradition...eating Steak for Turkey Day!
I think I got my obsessive cleaning habits from my father!!! He went on a 'cleaning' frenzy with my husband making us find the extension ladder and dust-rod!!! Thanx Dad!!! After eating out...we did put a turkey in & made rolls....Alec thought the Turkey "parts" were pretty gross!! FUNNY!!! Really????
One of our favorite events!! Seeing the place where JFK was assassinated...the little square window in the building on the left, one down from the top...where Lee Harvey Oswald was. The X on the street....by mom & dads feet is where JFK was fatally shot from the FRONT....Pics of the assassination and 'theory' behind the 4 shooters....really GROSS pics from the day of the shooting! A visit to Southern Methodist University Campus....One of our favorite places!!

The GREAT & SPACIOUS BUILDING! Dallas Cowboys Stadium! WOW!
