Meal Preparation for Thanksgiving Day

We picked up the Girls on Tuesday and started preparing for our Thanksgiving meal on Wednesday.

They love to work in the kitchen. They are great helpers....

They helped me until every thing was done and they just loved it. I loved our time together.

Then it is play time with Charlie and Quincy....

Manuel and Veronica come over to spend the night with us. We had a great Thanksgiving Day with Corina, Doug, Elijah, Doug's Parents and Manuel, Veronica, the Girls and us.

Very blessed to have a wonderful family and friends. Thankful for all we are blessed with.

Visit With The Dabneys

Joe and Jan Dabney were in San Antonio for a few days visiting clients so they gave us a call. We met up with them for dinner.

We had a sort visit but it was very nice seeing them. we met them at El Rodeo de Jalisco Mexican Restaurant which is just up the street form where they were staying at Blazing Star RV Resort.

Thank you, Joe and Jan for taking the time to visit with us. Take care and be safe.

Catch Up Time

I had not had time to post pictures, so here I go.

A few weeks ago, we passed by this yard that is totally decorated. The guys are sitting under the canopy watching the Dallas game.

We arrived at a house that Veronica just purchased to rent out. They will do a complete makeover to it then rent it out.

It was a mess so they all got to cleaning the yard and she hired someone to fix the inside.

Larissa and Arianna are following Mom, making a list of things they need to go buy at Lowe's.

Finalizing their list....

Girls working hard.....

A Family that plays/works together....

Okay, now it is play time! She is watering the tree....

Manuel and I just sat and watched them work. When we left the house, it looked 50% better.

Will be back to take pics when the house is completed.

We got together this morning to have breakfast at Magnolia Pancake Haus. Manuel had told us it was a great place with delicious food and then Corina and Doug saw it featured in The Food Network channel. Manuel and I were the first to get there and they told us it would be an estimated 1.5 hour wait. Everyone is saying it is worth the wait so we will see....

Corina, Doug and Elijah arrive.

We were seated before an hours wait, so not too bad. Lari enjoys her hot chocolate.

so does Arianna...

The waiter takes our picture. Our food is wonderful!

We gathered for a family picture. Elijah takes this one.

I took this one...

Corina and Family went on to the movies, taking Larissa and Arianna so we headed to go see another house Manuel Jr. just bought.

We got there and he already has people out there looking at it. He is doing a complete make over to it before he rents or sells. This lady is really interested in buying it.
