Thanksgiving fun

We had a wonderful jam-packed weekend.  
Skinny wrapping parties, basketball games,
 football games, yummy food,
 fun conversation and plenty of laughter,
scrumptious Thanksgiving feast today...
and the cutest kids around. 
Thank you Kristi and Shelby for hosting our 
Thanksgiving feast today!
It was delicious!

Happy Birthday Shannon (aka: Daddy, Papa Shandon, and Poppy)

"
Wishing you a happy birthday from all your sweet little kids"
Love, Ayden

"I love Daddy - Happy Birthday Daddy"
Love Ava

Happy Birthday Daddy- I got birthday stickers for you when you get home"
Love Alec

When I asked these three what they wanted to buy their Daddy for his 49th birthday 
here are the very funny purchases we were then on a mission to find....

Ava was the first to respond enthusiastically...
"I'm gonna get Daddy some underarm stuff.  He LOVES that stuff!"

Alec was next with this very quietly spoken idea...
"I'm gonna get Daddy those nose things for stopping snoring".
When Ayden asked him "what did you say?"
He says..."I'm not repeating it".

Ayden says...
"I'm getting Daddy some shiny black shoes".

And so we did.

We are missing our Daddy this special day as he is on his way to
 Chicago for the week..
at a conference.
We are hoping he relaxes and enjoys the quiet!
(And calls home often!)
