Thanksgiving 2011

Well, the holiday week started out not so great with Joey having a bug, but, at least we had plenty of time to take care of it.  Unfortunately, it seemed that I had the same bug starting Thanksgiving - really?!?  Anyway, my photos are limited mainly because I didn't feel like moving around much. 

We went to Tia Karina's for Thanksgiving dinner and later popped by my parents to visit in the evening.  On Friday, we drove to Austin to visit a college friend of mine, Marti, and her 2 children.  Again, so sad I didn't take more photos - not even one of the cutest little guy, Andy!

Marti compensated for my "under the weather" feeling.  Not only did she have a swing in her house, she had a bouncy house she later placed under the swing.  Joey enjoyed their large trampoline and the dog.  Marti also got together a variety of craft projects for the kids, adventures at a nearby park, and a treasure hunt at home.  Wow!  Joey didn't want to leave.

On the way to Austin, Joey said, "Mom, you want to know something?"  "Of course," I replied.  "When you're a kid, it's really hard to stop talking.  Did you have a hard time to stop talking when you were a kid?"  I'm happy to say, my child has self-awareness.

Trying to get a Xmas photo for our card.  Hmm. . . this was the best one.
