Random November Fun

My mom and I got to go see Reba together as our early Christmas gift to each other.  I took a picture because I was having a good hair day. 

We had so much fun. 

Reba was amazing too. 

The week before Reba my mom and I took Tahl, his friend, and Zev with us to see Hamilton. 

Here is a picture of Tahl at outdoor lunch with some of his best friends.  He is loving his friendships this year. 

Maya at the doctor feeling nice and relaxed... 

Isaac worked really hard on his Statue Garden project.  He was Steve Irwin. 

This is just a cute picture of Maya pretending this ball is the moon after we climbed a ladder to get it. 

 

Thanksgiving

We went to the Bay Area for Thanksgiving this year.  It was so great to all be together and see everyone this year.  

Here are our four at the park with Rowan. 

We took the kids to Pier 39 for a San Fransisco tourist experience including a view of Alcatraz, the aquarium, and some chowder in a bread bowl. 

The loved the sea lions that live on the pier. 

There was even a magician. 

And lots of discussion about the Golden Gate Bridge. 

For the first time ever, we forgot pink fuzzy.  Maya had to make due with some substitutes and she did not appreciate it. 

She slept very badly, leading to some car naps. 

We went to this awesome Lego place for a party with everyone. 

We a fun walk and a great hike on two different days. 

The kids had fun playing at the park several times too. 

We tried to get a picture of Karen and Gregg with all 13 grandkids, but Fisher and Rowan did not appreciate it. 

It was a little bit easier with Mimi and Joan. 

Maya loved Jaren. 

Buster with Tahl and Isaac 

In the evening after dinner the kids would watch movies in Karen and Gregg's room. 

Maya loved Noah too. She called all the girls her "Harper friends" instead of learning their names.  She is the worst at names. 

Meanwhile back in Texas, I missed this fun! 

It was such a great trip to San Fransisco though.  The kids had the best time.  

Thank you Karen and Gregg! 

 

Scott and Emily's Wedding

My brother and Emily got married AGAIN! Their original wedding date was moved for covid, but we finally got to celebrate them last weekend.  We had such a nice time.

Here are two boys looking handsome in their suits. 

Here we are waiting for the ceremony to start.

Dad walking Stacy down the aisle.

Ari was a groomsman. 

Isaac was the ring bearer. To say he got some attention would be an understatement.  He danced down the aisle like a ballerina. 

He told Ari this plan right before he started walking. Ari tried to talk him out if it, but it was too late. 

Here is the photographers official shot.  He is the most ridiculous child in the world, and lucky Scott and Emily were not mad. 

Here is the beautiful bride with her dad. 

I love this shot.  

Mimi with her grandkids

We got a family shot. 

Mom and Scott's mother son dance.

Mimi got to dance with Tahl too. 

We got lots of fun dancing pictures. 

I was dancing with Pops, and I thought Maya wanted to cut in, but she just wanted a "triangle dance."

Tiara and Madi 

I love this crazy boy. 

He was rocking the dance floor all night.  He was exhausted. 

This guy is pretty great too. 

I think this is the only picture of my brother with all of his niece and nephews. 

The next morning we went to brunch for my Aunt Lisa's 60th birthday.  Zev clearly snuck some tv overnight. 

Here is a picture of my dad with all of his siblings. They are too cute, and it was so great to all be together.
