Thanksgiving at the Lake

I'm always late with posts,...my goal was to get a Thanksgiving one done before Christmas...check. I may just throw in a few Halloween pics somewhere since that's been long forgotten!

We spent Thanksgiving out at the lake with BoPa and Lizzy. Colton wanted to spend most of his time walking around and exploring the great outdoors. He especially loves it when Tejas' tail whacks him in the face...he tries to walk behind her to get it to happen and then cracks up. Its so cute!

David got up to hunt the 3 mornings we were out there and Colton, being the light sleeper that he is, woke up each morning around 4:45 with his dad. This made for one unhappy and sleepy mommy. Our schedule was WAY off, but he corrected it within a couple of weeks and is once again sleeping in til about 6:30 everyday. :) Would love to make that 8:00ish, but he is an early riser.

We certainly enjoyed time with family, but it was strange to have such a small group of us out there! We did get to hang out with Lacy, Cooper, and Layla a few days before Thanksgiving, so I'm including pictures of all the cousins below. We are so grateful for the love of our parents and siblings!

Sweet Layla - one precious girl, very content most of the time!

I love this picture - every time Cooper tried to play with the Ball Popper Colton was right there trying to take the balls!

You just can't expect them to all look at the camera at the same time.

First time in a wagon - so much fun! We had to keep moving, each time we stopped he tried to climb out.

With Lizzy staring intently at Molly the mule.
