Thanksgiving (round 1)

We had our first round of Thanksgiving in Mesquite on wednesday. All the boys have to work on thursday. (Todd and Brian on night shifts and Rickey on for 24 hours) So - we were actually lucky to all have wednesday off together. We spent the day out there - getting full and playing football in the front yard. Cameron is getting really good. He didn't have much interest for a while but now that he feels confident in his throwing - he wants to throw the ball with dad all the time.
Macie just likes to play cheerleader and, in general, get in the way. She jumps, cheers, sings and runs all around the yard.

Cole - well - he knows when we are at Meema's and Papa Rick's - there will be some football going on so he comes prepared. He saw that the big boys were outside and he immediately changed into 'Tony Romo' and joined in the fun! (this is his game face)

Collin just enjoys being outside. Papa Rick swings him in circles and he loves it. He tries to go to every one that he knows and lift his arms for you to swing him, too. If you misunderstand and just pick him up - he gets really upset and wants down and walks away!

And here is Noah - our sweet cousin. He found an electric/water company flag in the yard and proceeded to run around the yard waving the flag and screaming. He had a blast. We don't get to see Noah often because of location and time - but we love to spend time with him and he loves going wild with his cousins!

And - here is a short video of the football games we played!
