thanksgiving weekend








We spent our thanksgiving weekend in Stephenville with our family there. I didn't get any pics of the actual thanksgiving dinner... but it was delicious. Marcie is such a good cook. On thanksgiving day we rode horses... a family tradition. It is always tons of fun for the boys and something they really look forward to. We also played bumper pool and fusball. The next morning Marcie and I were up at 4:30 in order to be at Walmart by 5 am for the day-after-thanksgiving shopping. We've been doing that together for the past several years. We bought tons of fun things for the kiddo's and saved some big money! Later that day we all celebrated Dad's birthday. His birthday was on the 28th. It was fun to be able to spend his day with him. He turned 56 this year. Dallon, Dawson, Stetson, and Banner wrapped a gift for him in brown paper and decorated it with sharpie markers... drawings and messages, etc. When Dad first saw the gift - he pointed to someones message and he said... "Who wrote this?" Dallon was giggling and admitted it was his. Dad read it aloud. It said "You are almost 100!" We all got a good laugh out of that.

You guys are the greatest. I can totally hear Paul saying, "Who wrote this?" That cracked me up! Logan did the same thing to Grandpa when he turned 80. He said, "You're 80. That's almost a hundred you know." Funny kids!
