We began the day with Justin's side of the family at Granny's house. Her fireplace was going when we walked in, it smelled like all sorts of yummy food, and it just felt like a traditional family Thanksgiving, so cozy and perfect. We ate tons of everything, and I pigged out on the mashed potatoes because my side of the family does not do mashed potatoes. Are they crazy, I think so! Anyway, Caroline loves eating, playing with Macy and Ayva, and being loved on by Justin's mom and Granny so she had a blast.

Playing with Sarita and Ayva. 
Macy and Ayva, both these girls are beautiful and so sweet.
Ayva fixing Caroline's hair. Good luck with that, Ayva! 
Ayva is always dressed adorable and she has a bow with all outfits.

Caroline with a sweet smile I have never seen before.Late in the afternoon we went to my Thanksgiving. Between all the dogs and people I believe there were 21 beating hearts at the house, but we would not have it any other way. My family cooked enough food to feed an army, and decided to fry turkeys and jalapenos this year. The turkeys were a hit, and the jalapenos with some, but others couldn't handle them, me included.

My favorite desert of the day, might not be traditional, but it was yummy.
Caroline was the head of the table, sitting on phone books and all.
Caroline looks as if someone scratched her up, I think a few mosquitoes got her on our walk a few days ago.
My sister Andrea and the Texas Techsan Alyssa, who I am forcing to love and embrace the red and black.
Michaela and me, she spent the day with us!

What a fun day. Caroline came home and crashed tonight. I think I might get out with all the crazies tonight and search out some bargains.
Let the Christmas music begin.

Old friends with all of our babes.
I LOVE days like today. Days when three old friends are all available and able to come together for some good times. Today was so much fun, it makes me wish all of my old friends lived on the same block, or even in the same vicinity for that matter so that we could make these meetings a regular happening. Michelle Graham, one of my best friends from college, is visiting her parents near Glen Rose for Thanksgiving. She kindly drove up and we all met at Paige's parent's home. It was a perfect meeting spot and Caroline was in heaven with all the new toys. We just sat, talked, and held each others babies while Caroline rumbled around. 
Blake napped for a while and after she woke we went outside for a while. She was a little nervous with Caroline, but warmed up quickly as you can tell by the pictures. Lots of kisses were shared between the two. I hope they grow to be good friends just like their mommies.
Sweet kisses, I couldn't decide which picture I liked best.
Sweet Kylie was happy to smile for my camera and she basically just chilled like the laid back baby she is most of the time. Check out all the expressions of this cutie pie today. 
Baby Riley has the most beautiful eyes and she makes the cutest noises. She is still so tiny and she made me miss the days of holding an infant. I was thrilled to finally meet that sweet thing. Caroline liked to help Riley with her paci and bottle.
Justin and I have a couple of friends who piddle around above us all night long. We had been hearing them since we moved into my parents house and figured it was a couple of squirrels. Well progressively the sounds kept getting louder, until at some points I could hear it downstairs and would go up to see if there was someone walking around. Well it turns out there are a couple of the cutest raccoons living in the attic. They walk around, turn on lights, and just live their little life all up in our cozy attic. Of course this isn't too safe so my parents are doing all they can to get them out. We have
