Thanksgiving 2012

 Thanksgiving this year at Rick and Kristel's house in Arlington.

 Cousins: Maddi and Caitlin

 Cousins: Will and Greta

 Jim and Barbara were down for a visit from Colorado. Bernard was just released to go home a few days before from rehab. Glad they were all able to join us!

 And our biggest Thanksgiving blessing....Ken! Ken was given a day pass from Baylor Rehab to join us for Thanksgiving day.  An emotional day for all !

 Pat ...aka...Sgt. Carter (ha)

 Cousins: Lucy and Lily

 A feast of plenty!

 Kristel's beautiful table set up.

 And after teh big meal....naptime and football!

 Lily and Pat had a drawing contest about Thanksgiving. We all had to vote on the drawings.

 Which inspired Mary to join in and create a little something with Lily too.

 That night we headed to Waco and spent the weekend with mom and dad....and more food !!

 Dad headed off to work the next day as we stayed at the house and played.

 Pap Jack and Cade worked a bit in the garden in between climbing trees and swinging.

We are wonderfully blessed and do not take for granted these moments we have with our family! 

Tiffany's Wedding

Tiffany, my cousin,  and Tim got married at The Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth. It was a small and beautiful ceremony followed by a fun reception in Grapevine.  Congrats Cuz!!!
