Lotta turkey and Some Santa

We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving with our family, starting by eating at BeBe's the Sunday before. We ate too much (as we always do at BeBe's) but had a good time visiting with some extended family.

















Then it was off to Texas. We ate lunch at Grandaddy's and then we all plus Aunt EJW (L) and Grandaddy went to Aunt JCH and Uncle GMH's for supper. Granny and Pop were there so we were all able to eat together. JHC and Granny did a great job on fixing us all dinner!!!











Grandaddy and MWC doing the "turkey dance" about to get the turkey out of the oven!!


















But one of the biggest highlights from the week was getting to ride the "Polar Express"!!! MWC LOVES this movie and will watch it year round!!! And when we realized we were going to be in Texas for Thanksgiving, we jumped at the chance to ride it. So on Friday, we drove to Grapevine to hop aboard. SHE LOVED IT--EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!-- From getting to wear her pjs, to the singing, dancing and of course getting to see Santa!! I was personally a little disappointed that they did not serve hot chocolate--but it was still fun. To see her face when she first saw Santa, was priceless!!! It was a great day that I know Grandaddy hopes will become a tradition!!!! It was just the right thing to kick off the Christmas season!!!







Seeing the train arrive!! :)






















Singing on the train!!!

It was a great time to kick off the holidays. MWC and JDC were so much fun. I liked the Polar Express also. MWC was so neat.
