Every year I have more and more to be grateful for. This year is no exception. Our family has grown with new babies and new members through marriage. And I couldn't be more happy! My family means the world to me and every holiday I am overcome with the love and support that we are so blessed to have. My boys are growing up in an extraordinary family and I'm very proud of that.
My sweet boys in matching shirts from Gigi and Papa (if you see the double T it's more than likely from Gigi and Papa)
Such a handsome big boy
As soon as we get to the ranch Tate must get out the rope to practice his roping skills. While the boys played outside the cooking and preparing was still underway. (I was mainly snacking and trying to stay out of the way)
Unfortunately, one tradition continued. The dreaded Stuffing curse! A couple years ago Victor was pulling out a pan of stuffing and the dish fell to the floor and this year history repeated itself..only, this time it was Gigi who dropped it. I heard a loud crash and lots of laughter and yelling. I didn't know what had happened but through the laughter I heard Trish telling everyone they better not tell Victor what had happened! It was too funny! And for anyone wondering what we did, we scooped up the top layer and ate it up ;-)
and it was delicious!
And later he and Daddy got some special bonding time in out by the arena.
And Bowen enjoyed his evening ride with Papa.
Grandma P spoiled the pups
and the married couple's enjoyed their first Thanksgiving as Mr. and Mrs. Eric and Stephanie Probandt!
and little mister after his afternoon nap...love that sleepy look
and can't forget that this year was little Jacki's first Thanksgiving! What a precious baby she is!
Our sweet baby boys are getting big!
This is the best family picture we could muster without the boys losing their minds...what is it with boys and having their picture taken?!
Then we went to Nana and Grandaddy's house for Thanksgiving Part II!
The boys played in the backyard until it was dark
and then got some Nana lovin'
and then got busy indulging in more delicious food for dinner. Geez, I love this time of year!
