Thanks for Thanksgiving

My Thanksgiving was wonderful this year. I got to spend it with my family and Roland's parents. I do wish that Grandmother was here this year, but she couldn't make. Doctor's appt.
Well Roland, Me, the kids and Nana and Poppy spent it over at my sisters house. It was fun, my kids just running around. Andrew checking out Steven's new puppy, Sasha and having fun going up and down the stairs. Alexis just was running back in forth from the living room to the kitchen. She was wearing her sandals which make noise on the kitchen floor. She loves wearing my black flats in kitchen, since their so big on her feet. They go "clack, clack, clack, clack" really loud. If she's wearing them in the kitchen, and I'm in master bedroom, I know where she is. She really loves to do that in the morning when I'm still sleeping.

Here are some pictures:

Cathy, my sister friend, my big brother Danny, Nana



My mother, Lucille and Alexis. She's getting a present from my mother, early this year.

(Yes, my mother's name is Lucille. As well as Roland's mother. Alexis's middle name is after both grandmothers and it's spelled like nana's name.)



Left to Right:

Steven, my nephew, Andrew (showing off his gift from my mother) and my mother.

The head in the picture is of Beth. She is my mother's caretaker. And my family just sort of adopted Beth and she's mom's favorite daughter. Me and Dee don't mind a one bit =)




Of course, I can't forget to have a picture of Miss Alexis smiling at me with a camera. Would you believe that when I want her to pose for me, she tells me "NO!" and runs away or pouts at me.




This is Peleon. This is Beth's pit bull mix. She has two other pit bull mixes at mom's house, but this one is a mamma's girl. Yes she has pit bull mixes at my mother house and they are the sweetest dogs you could come across. I trust Peleon with my children, Peleon loves to lick to the kids, hmmmm sounds like Nana and Poppy's dog, Annie.
Peleon as a had a litter of puppies at Mom's house. Beth kept only one puppy. WE thought about keeping one, but Roland didn't like the one I chose and Roland wanted the one Beth kept. I call her Cinnie, short for Cinnamon, but her name is in Spanish, but I have no idea what it is or how to pronounce it. (I don't even know if I'm spelling Peleon right)
The other is Homer, would you believe he is the only dog I know that doesn't eat human food. Not even a french fry! Sometimes I don't think he's a dog at all.
Yes Peleon is wearing a Longhorn shirt. My family likes and roots for the Longhorns. Don't worry Blackwell Family. I could care less who likes who, but I do sometimes egg Roland on about maybe the kids going to UT, but not much, since Roland has told Andrew that he doesn't get to decide on which college he's going to. It's Aggie's all the way.


Nana using Alexis's puppy to kiss Alexis.
Alexis just thought that was funny. So did everyone else watching.

Steven, Dee, my sister and Danny.



Just the family sitting outside watching the kids and the dogs play.



That is Steven's puppy Sasha.
She just wants some attention and food.



Peleon and Sasha playing. Goofy dogs.
Would you believe that Sasha didn't like Danny at ALL. She'd just bark and bark at Danny. Guess Sasha knew that Danny is a cat person.



Cathy playing one of Alexis's favorite game: "Tickle me if you can"

The only family you don't see is my other brother, Ken and his wife Patty. Patty is allergic to cats and we all have cats in our houses, but we will see them at Christmas Time. Can't wait to see them.

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
