Hu Hots

What a great deal. Hu Hots (one of my favorite places to eat) had 50% off lunches. All 8 of us ate for $26. Can't do that good at McDonalds!!

Even Kathryn likes Mongolian food. Or is she waiting for the s'mores?

Matron of honor and bride to be. 2 lovely, loving sisters.

Ana Maria loves her Uncle Lee. He used to call her stinky pants. No more, she's a big girl, 3 1/2 years old.

November 24 and some of the trees still had color.

Girls, girls, girls

Waiting patiently at the restaurant for our table. We went out for Thanksgiving dinner. 2 years in a row. We did go back to the house for pecan and pumpkin pie.

The bright yellow flowers kept them happy for awhile.

Green eyed girls.

Happy Thanksgiving. Don't eat too much.

Sweet Ana Maria and the placemats we made together. She loves art projects. We even made pie tickets.

Thanksgiving Day 2011

Ana Maria loves riding her bike. When she comes to visit us in Florida, Grandaddy is going to teach her to ride a bike without training wheels. WHEEEEE!!

These boots were made for walking!

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.

Jimmy is showing off his new copper magnet bracelet.

Santa and friends

We walked around Branson Landing and went into Bass Pro Shop. Santa was anxiously waiting for Ana Maria and Kathryn. Ana Maria is telling Santa she wants a purple doodle bear, ladybug pillow pet and Barbies. Kathryn was too scared to say anything!!

Our condo in Branson had a gas fireplace. Very warm and cozy.

It was cold outside but we did manage to find time to paddleboat.

I love this picture. Grandaddy and granddaughter.

Train ride

We took a train ride out of Branson into the Ozarks. The scenery was lovely and we were able to walk from car to car to sit wherever we wanted. Ana Maria was happy sitting with Uncle Lee.

Love. Are you really sleeping?

I see gum in your mouth. Ana Maria thinks Grandmom has the BEST gum!!

Funny faces

Ana Maria poses for the camera while Kathryn gracefully catches herself from falling backwards into the bushes.

Arkansas Adventures

Lee and Ana Maria are waiting for an ice skating rink to open. It did not open due to weather so we had to go home. We walked around the Walmart Visitor's Center instead where it was nice and warm.

It's cold outside.

We are at War Eagle Mill, a stop on our way to Branson.

Ana Maria's favorite place to visit in Branson, Butterfly Palace. The butterflies land right on you.

A quiet moment for both Sarah and Kathryn.
