We hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving! Shelby's preschool put on a Thanksgiving luncheon where the parents could attend. It was really cute to see all the little kids and get to know the other Mom's. Then we headed to Oklahoma for the holidays and had a great time with family. Shelby & I went up a few days early to get some extra Nana & Papa time in. Shelby & Mason had a lot of fun playing together, building train sets & playing with Thomas trains, chasing each other and of course doing some spinning. We also played outside a few times when it was warm enough. It was pretty chilly up there! We ended up having our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday as that's just how scheduling worked out, but it was all good the same. The fried turkeys were AWESOME (way to go Uncle Russ)!! And of course we enjoyed Nana's stuffing & sweet potato crunch. Aunt Kellie made a coca-cola cake this year and I believe this will now have to be a holiday tradition for dessert. It was really good and went fast. As Shelby said "I like this cake! It is yummy!" I'm hoping she'll be making it again at Christmas. Uncle Russ spoiled us with good breakfasts too, biscuits & gravy one morning and then these pancake puff pastries the next. If you've seen that little cooking skillet with the round pancake holes, that's what he used. They were great!! I think I will have to start working out as the pants feel a little snug after all that eating! We thoroughly enjoyed all the college football games because of Nana & Papa's new flat screen plasma tv ~ 50 inches!! Man, watching football at home is a real bummer now after seeing it on that! The picture was amazing and no matter what angle you sat at, you could see the screen crystal clear. And of course we were totally psyched watching our Boomer Sooners beat Oklahoma State Sat. night, a great game that could've gone either way. OSU played really well as we knew they would and it was definitely a classic game. Can't wait for this Sat. to play Missouri ~ but it won't be near as much fun to watch on our TV. May just have to run up I-35 to Nana & Papa's again!! :) Hope everyone had a nice holiday, enjoy the pics! (I also just tried out updating the background using a cool site I got from Cindy's blog - how neat & so easy!)
Say cheese! I actually got a smile!

Some more crafts made at school ~ thought it was cute how she had her foot turned in.
One of our several cooking mishaps ~ our pumpkin pie defrosted a little TOO much in the fridge. No problem though, Russ salvaged it and just poured it out of the box & back in the pan. :)

Vroom, vroom! Shelby really liked this car ~ she called it the "Sally Car" after Sally on the Cars movie, who is her favorite character/toy these days.
Mason cracks me up! What a smile!!
Mom, I think I'm ready for my Harley now.
Is there anything better than watching Cars in Nana & Papa's big bed?
Playing trains.....they did this for a long time. I know what Shelby's getting for Christmas!
Santa Baby, too cute! Here's my short hair, quite a difference!

Good update! Shelby is so grown up! Sounds like you had a great Turkey weekend. We were here and my parents came for a few days. It's been pretty low key around here and we're planning to stay home for Christmas. Love it! Your new 'do looks great - you know how I love short hair! So easy and looks decent even if you just roll out of bed and go.
