Fall 2010



Halloween was a blast again this year. We carved pumpkins and went trick-r-treating as usual. Nothing out of the ordinary but lots of fun.


Thomas carved this Longhorn with no help!!! Pretty nice.


Joshua did this scary skeleton face and Charles did an old-school jack-o-lantern.










Thomas went as a UT Longhorn football player (notice a Longhorn theme with him)



Charles went as a policeman with big muscles...



And Joshua's costume was a bit of an optical illusion. He was riding around on his little friend's shoulders. He is with his buddy, Jeremy, who on a dare dressed like Cinderella.


We began the evening at our good friend's house, the Morales', with a little pre trick-r-treating party on the front lawn. Then all the little kids headed out together.



We spent Thanksgiving this year in Flower Moud. Danny and Tricia came into town with the kids too. For Danny's birthday we roasted hot dogs, made smores and had a little "party" at Grammy and Papa's house.



Thomas had to take a picture with uncle Danny because he turned 41 and that is what Thomas had on his shirt!

Uncle Danny is a big Longhorns fan too. He got this helmet for his gameroom.



Next on our list of activities was the ICE exhibit at the Gaylord. We had never seen this before although we always wanted to. This year was a Charlie Brown theme, which I LOVE! It was pretty amazing and fun to see. They keep the temperature at around 10 degrees, so they provide big heavy parkas to see the exhibit.




The Ice Slide!






Thanksgiving day was spent cooking, playing games, and eating!!


The boys enjoy some appetizers.


Grammy and the boys made these placemats one night a few weeks before Thanksgiving. And the placecards were Turkey cookies with everyones name on them. So cute!


Papa pretends to carve the bird!

And here is a shot of the kids table. The meal was great and it was fun to hang out with all the Wintons!!
