Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is over and we had a good one! I started Thanksgiving by celebrating at Joy School! We made little turkeys out of pinecones! Turned out pretty cute!
The kiddos dressed up as Pilgrims and Indians, then we had a thanksgiving feast! 



For the thanksgiving break we traveled to Lubbock to be with my mom and then went to my grandma's in Earth (yes that is a town in Texas ha). My mom's side of the family is very BIG, so we had a HUGE thanksgiving meal and it was yummy! There is usually around 30 family members at our family feast! From lubbock, we drove to Denver City to spend the weekend with my dad and his wife. My best friend, Kailee, was on her way back from ruidoso and her parents dropped her off in DC to spend the weekend with us! Also, Jakody, was in DC visiting his parents. It was soo great spending the weekend with friends and family! This was the first car ride for our new puppy, Lola! She did great and loves to lay with her friend, Presley!
Kailee and I made a Eggnog cookies! A recipe from pinterest! 
Love her!
Power was out for 3 hours in DC and my daddy refused to let it stop him from making us breakfast!

The weekend before Thanksgiving break, we traveled to Houston to see Dawn, Toby, and Reagan since we would not be seeing them for the break. While there we did a full saturday of football.... ESPN Game day in the morning and then the Cougars football game in the afternoon!
The guys made this sign the night before and Matt held the sign up like this for 2 hours, just to be seen on ESPN. And.... he made his first ESPN appearance! 
At the cougars game! These girls cheered the whole time! And I become a Case Keenum fan! 
It was a great weekend! Glad we got to go!

Thanksgiving is over and now it is time for Christmas! Love this time of the year! My tree is up and my house smells like pinecones and winter! :)

Lola!

One saturday afternoon, Matt and I were out running all these errands we NEEDED to do, and we decided to stop at Petsmart. Everyone knows where the story goes from there..... we came home with this precious puppy!
We named her Lola! She is a collie mix, about 6 months old now. We have had her for almost a month. We were fostering her to adopt, which allowed us to decide if we wanted to keep her or not and I think we decided to keep her. We have another dog, Presley (dachsund/cocker spaniel mix, 3 years old) and he loves to play with Lola. They will chase each other for hours around the living room. 
So sweet! :) 

Lola does this really funny thing where she attacks Presley like he is her prey! It is soo cute!
