Gobble...Gobble (feels more like "waddle-waddle")

This week has been a revolving door of food, friends, family and gratitude. We started our holiday at the farm on Tuesday and wrapped up a full week on Sunday. Everyone had their favorite post for play. My brother John Roger, Daniel and Mike loved spending time at the target range. JAMP and Sinclair were partial to the ponies, "Pinky" and "Big Mac" --- Mark, Zoey, Jack and Blain were reeling in fish as fast as they could cast their lines. All of these activities were conducted surround sound with the tunes of college football.



Jack and Zoey did their best catches from the bank, while Woody and Blain hung out in the boat

I was extremely impressed with my girlfriend Ryland's angler skills. Look at the fine form on JAMP...like Momma like son!

Liddie and Hailey both enjoyed long naps.....




Sinclair getting lessons from Aunt Shanna on her pony, "Big Mac"
So far, we are less than a week post Thanksgiving and this is the second tour we have taken through Santa's Wonderland. John loaded everyone in my ghetto sled (that would be ten people comfortably) and we turned up the XM Holiday music and cruised through the "Kisssmiss tunnels" as Sinclair loves to call them. We just cannot get enough of these FOUR MILLION lights!! I am really curious to know what their electrical bill is for just this month alone.
(please note that all the Santa's Wonderland photos were snapped by 9 yo, Jack -- during our "unFitney" moment that we let he and Zoey ride hanging out the sunroof while cruising through the Christmas display)





I do not suggest limboing on a full stomach, although Joy was REALLY good at it!





Clementine and Blain recharging their batteries....

OMG! I love the first pic of our little ones! Add it to the stack for the Rehearsal DInner. Funny, I got a bitchy post from someone who came to my blog from yours. Someone is so jealous that we are friends. Hello 7th grade! By the way, I am stealing these pics and adding to my blog. And if you'd send me a high res of the kiddos, I'd love to have a print made!
