Thanksgiving 2008 Waco, Texas

We had a great Thanksgiving packed with lots of fun and good times with family! From our delicious Thanksgiving dinner prepared by the hostess with the mostess, Grandma Nancy, to visits on a farm and Discovery Center playing! Plus LOTS and LOTS of playing with Abby and Andrew - Benjamin ate it all up!

Texas Tech Game

Alright, I know we're HUGE Baylor fans but we couldn't wait for the Texas Tech vs. OU game this evening. Benjamin was sporting the Texas Tech colors and was ready to cheer them on! It's the 2nd quarter and sadly Tech is losing. Oh well, the anticipation of the game sure was fun!

Elbow...(Elmo)

Elmo is by far Benjamin's favorite character. It's so cute to hear him pronounce it - he says "elbow". I found some Elmo Christmas pajamas and he wore them the other night. Yes, I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet but I couldn't resist seeing him in these pj's. Grandmother bought him a talking Elmo chair recently and he LOVES it! While David and I sit on the couch to watch TV, Benjamin promptly goes to his Elmo chair to join us.

It's a Girl!

We found out last week that we're having a girl! We also went to the Baylor/Aggie game on Saturday. It was so cold but well worth it. It's so good to see Baylor doing so well this season. Poor Aggies...okay, not really. HA HA HA to the Aggies! It was Benjamin's 1st Baylor game. He did really well. Maybe he'll be our future Baylor football player with his little sister as a Baylor cheerleader! We also got to spend some quality time with family and friends over our 3 day weekend (David took the day off on Friday). Good times!

I AM CORNHOLIO!

Okay, for all of the Beavis & Butthead fans - we caught Benjamin pretending to be Cornholio. He was actually trying to take his shirt off and it got stuck. He didn't seem to mind so he kept it like that. David and I laughed so hard our stomachs hurt.

Hope's 2nd Birthday

Benjamin had a blast at Hope's birthday party on Sunday. He liked playing in the gym but he was SOOOO ready for cake! Notice how he's the first and ONLY one in the cake room waiting for some dessert!

Fun in the Fall Leaves

It's that time of year again when our lawn service only comes once a month. Therefore, we're starting to get quite a collection of leaves in our backyard. Benjamin certainly doesn't mind!

Dave & Buster's

Last weekend we celebrated my cousin's 16th birthday. We got to see family that we haven't seen in about a year. It was so good to reconnect with them. Benjamin had fun playing with Aunt Cathie's straw in a glass of water - which kept me on my toes! I had to make sure he didn't dump the whole thing over! Oh the stress......

Our Little Frankenstein!

Benjamin had a BLAST on Halloween! He woke up to his little pumpkin surprise basket filled with all kinds of Halloween goodies! Later that evening we hooked up with some friends and took all the kids out trick-or-treating. Benjamin had a hard time at first trying to figure out the protocol. The first several houses we went up to he thought he was supposed to take the candy and then just walk on inside the stranger’s house! It was too funny. It took him several attempts to finally catch on!
