Thanksgiving

Here's a rundown of our Thanksgiving week for memory's sake:

Tuesday: Left town after school for K-town

Wednesday: Judd put up Christmas lights at his parent's house. He took a break to take Campbell to Archie's to get a hair cut. Archie started cutting Judd's hair when he was three years old. Bubba, Pop, and Uncle Kenny have all had their hair cut by Archie. Talk about full circle! Other than that, we played all day! Judd and I decorated the traditional turkey cookies that night.

Thursday: Thanksgiving lunch at Me-Mommie and Grandaddy's house. Good food. Fun times with cousins. Football. Cowboys won. A trip to the farm. Leftovers for dinner. Shopping online.

Friday: We spent the day with Pop! (My mom, Kenny, Meike, and Esra went to Colorado to spend Thanksgiving with my Aunt Brenda and Uncle Lee. My dad had to stay behind to watch over one of their dogs who was due to have puppies that week.) We ate lunch at Razoos. Judd and Campbell both ate alligator - Cam was so proud! Then we spent the rest of the day hanging out at their house. It was good to see Pop and we can't wait to see Maw-Maw at Christmas!

Saturday: packed the car...headed home...unloaded the car...got Christmas decorations out of attic...decorated...watched Baylor beat Tech...

Unfortunately, these are the only four pictures I took all weekend long. The kids played football at Me-Mommie and Grandaddy's house on Thanksgiving Day. Campbell was the ring leader. He is all about football right now - he eats, sleeps, and breathes football! Of course he had to put on his uniform!

Last Upward Game

All good things must come to an end. At least for this year! Bailey's last Upward cheerleading game was this weekend.

Baylor Homecoming 2011

We made the trek to Waco once again this year for Baylor Homecoming. As soon as we got to campus on Friday afternoon, we stopped by the bear habitat to see the bears. This little guy was there to greet us!

After spending a small fortune at the bookstore we headed to Common Grounds where we met Dave and Joanne for coffee. Then we went to Chuy's for dinner...yum! I got car sick on the way there and just couldn't shake it so for the first time in 12 years I missed the pep rally and bonfire. Boo! Judd took the kids while I stayed at the hotel and went to bed early.

We got up early on Saturday morning to claim our curbside spot for the parade.



And the parade begins!



Campbell does NOT like loud noises so we brought ear plugs for him to wear while the police cars, fire trucks, and band went by. They worked out great!

Every year we attempt a picture of me and the kids with the bear balloon. The sun was bright!


We loved watching the parade with Mrs. Riggins!

Campbell was beside himself to have a Baylor jersey! He kept saying, "I'm the quarterback. I'm RG3!"

We got to visit with our Cochran cousins after the parade. Bailey and Emily always have a ball together!

After the parade we ate lunch at Cheddar's, did a little shopping at Spice, then went to the hotel to rest before the game. We got there early so we got to see the players warm up and the band's pre-game performance - check out the interlocking BU!
