Thanksgiving 2011

We had a blast this year for Thanksgiving! My parents first came up to visit us in dallas and stay in our new home with us! Then we all went down to Houston to meet up with Britt, matt, daniel, sheena, jared, and bethany! Dinner was fantastic as expected (i'm still drooling over sheena's stuffing). And britt and i somehow managed to make the best mashed potatoes in the history of mashed potatoes... um... am i pregnant or what?? Clearly food is my priority.

My parents took all the kids to Pump It Up. I think the adults had more fun than the kids... although i think all the boys ended up with differing degrees of injuries.... Brad's toe is still swollen and black and blue... jared thought he got a concussion... and NO ONE escaped at least one nasty burn on an elbow. All in all... very successful trip!

Bubbers was a little small to enjoy the bigger slides, but he still managed to have fun
Britt and Tessy, beautiful as ever
Evan and his "poppy lees"
Sweet Noah
Daddy and Evan
Brad finishing the obstacle course (i raced britt and won... just for the record)
Noah going to congratulate his daddy on his victory
Parker
Haha, no one is exactly sure what happened, but we all turned around and jared was laying on the floor!
Mom could easily pass as Linds, don't you think?
Sades having a blast
Yes, we did have to go see this movie!

The kids loved dog piling on Uncle "bad" and grandpa lees
Family Fun

Oh sweet summer! Certainly a momma's girl through and through... and just as beautiful too!
Evan loved getting to know his cousins better

Why can't i swing the bat at the screen door?
Our family christmas card... take a good look since i'll probably be too lazy to do them this year. =)

Tessa's face melts my heart in this picture! Does brad need a girl or what?! yea yea, wishful thinking i know! (i find out Monday FOR SURE what i'm having)
Isn't this pic precious?! One of Noah's few moments where he's not wildly running around
Love this picture! Evan wanted to climb in noah's bed and watch the ipad with him. Look at those curly headed boys
Uh, Grandpa Lees, someone is about to jump off the couch into the hard table! Why is the bad mom taking pictures instead of stopping him?!?

Evan loves his daddy lots and lots... or is it just the iphone... no it's both!
We went to steak and shake for lunch... and for some reason i can still feel the heaviness in my stomach from it! We all didn't feel like eating for days! Maybe it was the milkshake we topped off with after our cheese fries and bbq bacon cheeseburger... maybe!

I forgot you were pregnant, unless you never announced it. Anyways, you girls are just too dang cute and I can't wait to see another one of your cute kiddos.

Ash, are you sure you're pregnant? You are so thin in your Christmas card pic. Lucky! I'm sure Linds is very sad/jealous that she was stuck in Blythe with us while you all had so much fun, but we appreciate you sharing her.

I am so glad you came down!! Evan and Noah were so fun to watch together. I can't wait to meet baby Elmer. Thanks for being so wonderful.
