Thanksgiving 2010

We were able to spend Thanksgiving with both sides of the family this year. We spent the weekend before Thanksgiving in Cleburne/Arlington with the Chavez side then flew to N.C. to see my side of the family.
BUT before all this, we jumpstarted the celebration with a trip to Chuck E Cheese for a birthday party. Carver reluctantly stood next to Chucky for a picture. He USE to be very frightened of him. It always amazes me how much these little ones change and grow in between visits to the same places.

Arlington bound for Teta's house with cousins Wil & Jonathon

We took Carver to the Ft. Worth Zoo for the first time on our way to

Cleburne to see the other side of the family.

Just a little ode to the baby girl in my belly...

I wonder if Savannah will get this many solo shots?

Last time we were at Seaworld, Carver freaked out in the bird feeding area and we had to

make a quick exit. That was just 4 months ago. Now look at him. Again reiterating how

much they grow both emotionally and physically so quickly.
My baaaaaby boy.

I really love this picture as we leave the zoo. His face is a reflection of the good time had by all!

Next up was a backyard Thanksgiving party with the Chavez family.
Games, lots of food & family.

The cousins again.

Carver adores these boys.

I know people have done it for ages before, but I feel bad for them if they didn't

have a portable DVD player for the airplane. Golden.

Thanksgiving 2: North Carolina

Wish I'd captured a picture of Carver's face on the zipline.
Priceless, entertained the kids on end but tiring for adults to lift.
It was really difficult for me from my chair. :)

Cousins Carver & Payne - 1 yr apart and very cute together.

Some things don't change.

No, this can of beer is not open.

Yes, she is teething and yes, Ryan needed a shower!

Payne, Blake, Carver

Mama of 4.
Sister in law, Angela with baby Mills and of course, my little Meryl.

Where else? The A.T.L. baby. Gotta love flying through there.
Got us some candy and a picture of big brother standing by

little sister's name on our way home.

Until Thanksgiving 2011!
