TWOthless.

Dylan lost her second bottom tooth while turning a cartwheel at her TNT class. She quickly stood up and spit it out. Now she is all snaggle on the bottom. Two cute!

Gobble 'til you wobble.

This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our house. A full feast and all the trimmings.

The day started with reading the paper and looking for all the goodies on sale and things to put on our Christmas list.

Two Gravies, One Bird

Chef Greg prepared the bird and tried a new gravy recipe (that wasn't very good and stunk up the house) as well as the traditional gravy (which was much better). Auntie Lavonda supervised.

the blonde in red who wouldn't look at the camera, but cooked up a mean Green Bean Casserole, Buttered Corn and a salad to die for.








And yes, we like pie - Pumpkin, Chocolate, Cheesecake Pie

What's Turkey Day without football. We were so excited the UT vs. A&M game was back on Turkey day and a win, a big win, made it dessert. Way to go Longhorns! What an exciting season.

Nutcracker

Karen and Dylan kicked off the holiday season by going to see Nutcracker on Sunday. A friend of Hunter and Dylan was selected to perform with the Moscow Ballet, so Dylan and I thought it would be fun to go see her dance. The ballet was at the old Majestic Theatre downtown Dallas and was a nice way to get into the spirit of the season. Emmerson did a great job and performed in our favorite ballet of all.

Happy Holidays!

Texans end winning season with 7-1 record.

The Texans wrapped up the fall football season Saturday morning with an 8am chilly game. Taking down the opponent 9-0. Both teams had only one loss going into the final game and the Texans finished on top. It was cold and early, but they fought through and won! Awards ceremony is Monday night where they will receive their Trophy. Great job! Way to play Hunter.

Keepin' it up!

The air was right for football on Saturday - a very cold, windy morning - and the Texans bring home another win. I think the score was 13 - 0, but I was blinded by the sun, freezing from the wind and totally lost track. A win no doubt. Only one more game to go and the season ends. It's been a lot of fun to play, watch and hang out with the other team families. But most importantly, Hunter loves it and has grown so much over the season. He realizes there is more than just a QB on the team and loves defense. He's great at sackin' the QB. That's his favorite move.

But to keep us going on Saturdays, Dylan started TNT (tumbling and trampoline). She was a bit shy at first, but ended up getting in to it. She took a bad fall on the mats and really twisted her neck, but she was a trooper and got going even before class was over. She loves the trampoline! and I think has a crush on Coach Andy. Don't tell her I said that.

Hunter has decided to take a break after football and not play basketball this winter. So now he will be free to clean his room and do more chores around the house. ;) He'll probably wish he was playing basketball.
