Thanksgiving

The Grubbs and the Kirkseys got together again this year for Thanksgiving. We cooked, we ate, we played games - I think we ate again. Then it was over.

Sarah made "Momo Rolls". That is Tyson's grandmother's roll recipe. They were delish.

Beth and Matt went to Houston, but we got the granddogs.

Beth says I'm not supposed to give them treats, but it was Thanksgiving, so some turkey may have fallen on the floor, and the dogs may have eaten a piece. But that's just a possibility.

I think they must be talking about world peace - nah probably what's for dessert. Which was by the way pecan pie, chocolate pie, and cranberry trifle.
So - it was fun, it was fast and it was fattening!

It's a Girl Thing

This weekend Sarah and Tyson came to Tyler! So Beth, Sarah and I went to Mistletoe and Magic - the local Junior League Christmas Bazar. It was crowded, but fun. I bought my first Christmas present - earrings for Beth. Shh, don't tell her. Oh wait a minute, she picked them out. Since Sarah doesn't have pierced ears, she was uninterested!

What cow? Do you see a cow? I don't see a cow. OK, here's the deal. The lady at the jewelry booth noticed that I was having a little hot flash so she let me have her fan from Chick-fil-A. It's my favorite thing now. However, I think the cow must be mad at Sarah.

We came home - I made chicken enchiladas for supper. Beth brought some homemade biscotti and pumpkin crunch. So delicious. Then we played Speed Scrabble - Greg is the undisputed winner of that game! We also played Shanghai Rummy, a game that Tyson's mom and dad taught us.
I think Tanner and Bruiser wanted to play too. Tyson helped his parents remodel a house they are working on and Matt went for a bike ride that afternoon. Clearly the girls in this family really know how to have fun.

The Bump, The Belly, The BABY

Greg and I went to Dallas this weekend to attend a conference called Elderlink, which obviously is for elders. It was all about shepherding, legal issues for the church, generational differences, etc. You get the drift. We stayed with Sarah and Tyson and I had to take a picture of the "bump". So cute!





Actually I played hookie Saturday morning and Sarah and I did a little shopping and had lunch.




This is just a random picture that I took in our backyard last week - I wish you could smell the flower too! Hey maybe they could name baby girl Camelia - Camelia Kirksey has a certain ring. Well probably not.
