Our Thanksgiving break started off with a Drouet/Woods dinner at our traditional Mexican restaurant in Baytown. Since it's over an hour drive to get there, we left Dakota with my mom for the evening and enjoyed getting to see everyone. MawDee was there and in good health. We had fun catching up, the kids had fun playing and coloring multiple coloring books Nannie had brought with her. We all took turns holding Lorelei and helping with Liam and Leif. The "kids" split the dinner and the parents were very appreciative and even surprised. We love this tradition!
For the week of TG, we met Keely and the kids at the Houston zoo for the day. The cousins had a great time being together and seeing all of the animals and exhibits. Dakota wouldn't stay in her stroller like her cousins would but we all had a good time.
We had a great Thanksgiving at Damon and Amy's house. Lots of great food and we brought rolls and made potatoes like we usually do. Drake said the blessing this year and it was so funny. He thanked God for being able to play upstairs and eat downstairs. Everyone started laughing and I was so proud that our 4 year old little boy could say a blessing the way he did. Later, I ended up black Friday shopping all by myself and seeing some craziness at Walmart that evening including going to the front of the line because I could pay with a credit card. Once we got back to Lake Jackson that night, David went out with me again to get some things. :)
After our TG dinner, we celebrated Dakota's 2 year old birthday by having a Doc McStuffins party. She loved all of her Doc McStuffins gifts especially the sing-a-long boom box. She kept playing the songs and singing to them over and over again. It was precious.
