Is November really over?????????????????

I so wish I was technically gifted! I uploaded some of these pictures a few times before they finally posted. The order isn't right, but who has the time to keep messing with such stuff??? :)

Derek's football team went to Oklahoma (Tulsa) the weekend before Thanksgiving to play in a big tournament. They played Saturday and Sunday a couple games each day. Teams were there from TX, OK, MS, and AK that we know of. Sounds kind of crazy for such young kids! The Rockwall Jackets 3A won the first 2 games they played on Saturday, which advanced them to the Sunday semi-final games. They won the first game Sunday that put them in the championship that evening. They played in the nicest high school football stadium in OK, we heard. The guys had so much fun. Rockwall won the whole thing, and the boys were elated with their championship rings, medals, and huge trophy. While we were starting the first game on Saturday, I was sitting with the kids trying to get my video camera ready and all and settle into watching the game when I noticed a gentleman come up by me and put his hand on my shoulder to say something. My first thought was, "My, people are extremely friendly here in OK." I looked up to see Uncle Dane and Aunt Kristy from Oklahoma City. A little bird told them we were going to be in state for the weekend and they got the Sooner Classic Tournament info. off the Internet to find us. What a surprise! We had a great time chatting with them during (sorry, Derek), in between the games, and after on Saturday. Of course, Paul was not the best conversationalist that day, as he was trying to watch Derek, talk to our visitors, and listen to the OSU vs. MI game on XM radio. :) Aunt Kristy even baked us cookies for the road! Thanks, Aunt Kristy! Needless to say, football is officially OVER....and now we dribble our way into basketball.

The girls had fun at the Thanksgiving Feast we attended at Aslynn's school. The girls had a good time together! We had Thanksgiving this year at Phil's lake house in East TX. We had fun just chilling and relaxing for a couple days, along with EATING WAY TOO MUCH. I didn't take pictures that day. I am hoping someone sends me a few shots to share.
