Happy Thanksgiving Yall!

The past few days have been spent in Round Rock with my side of the family for Thanksgiving.  We have so much to be thankful for, and these last few days were a great reminder!  We started by celebrating Jax' BD Wednesday night and the excitement didn't seem to die down until we were in the car driving home!  It is always fun to get the whole fam together and enjoy one another.  Even if it requires the adults to drink wine, Papa to take out his hearing aides, and Nana to cater to all 4 kids wanting something (juice, milk, cookies, M&M's...the list goes on).  You know you have a party when you have 4 kids ages: 6, 3, 2, and 1.  Wow...that is all one can really say at the end of the day.  Nonetheless, we wouldn't have it any other way and cherish every moment as they grow WAY TOO FAST!
For Thanksgiving Day, we spent the day at Nana/Papa's and were even able to make it out to the park for a few hours to play and picnic.  The kids had lunch at the park, so once we got home and kids were napping, the adult enjoyed a QUIET meal!  Hehehe, we weren't quite sure what to do with ourselves!
Friday afternoon was even more exciting as Nana/Papa took everyone to enjoy "Cirque Dreams Holidaze."  We were all praying that the kids would like it and be entertained and THEY WERE!  The 2 hour show held all their attention!  The first 20 minutes were filled with us adults watching the kids who had mouths open and staring at the stage.  We laughed so hard.  The show including juggling, acrobats, dancing, singing, lights, costumes, jump ropes, tight ropes, and so much more.  Thank you Nana/Papa for treating us to such a special event.
Finally, today we finished off with family pictures at Old Settler's Park.  All 10 of us dressed for the occasion, slicked back the hair, and put on our best smiles.  I am confident that we have some AWESOME pics to show, but that will have to be a later post so the photographer can get the pics to us.  We took all kinds of mixed pictures of the separate families, Nana/Papa with the kids, the original 4 Parks Fam, grandkids, etc.  I can't wait to see the pics as there was quite a bit of creativity going on in the pics with our wild bunch.  After pics we all ate lunch together before we headed home.  The kids were so tired that they were asleep within minutes of us starting the drive home.

Thank you Lord for our Family, Friends and blessings all around us.  We are grateful for everything you have given us and so much more.
