getting his standard cookie snack from grandad...yum
thanksgiving dinner
me and tyler with holly's donkeys
tyler was definitely intimidated by the large horses..but did manage to pet them just a little 
then i think he was a little worried about his hands after he touched the horse :)
we had a wonderful and relaxing thanksgiving this year...with just a little bit of craziness thrown in at the end just to keep life interesting :) we started off thanksgiving week in diana with chads parents for 3 days. tyler LOVED running around their property...he was in his element for sure. chad and i determined it's time for us to own some land...whatever that means :) nana and i had decided to have a thanksgiving of all new recipes and we ended up having a lot of fun cooking...and then eating. on friday, we were supposed to cut down our christmas tree in tyler as a family but came upon a slight detour when we filled chad's truck up with water...instead of gasoline. of course, we didn't know this at the time but the gas station had a water line break and this was the cause. luckily, my wonderful aunt holly & uncle paul, who live in tyler, picked us up and took us home with them for the day. chad ended up having to stay the night with them (his truck wasn't going to be ready until the next day) but tyler and i were able to drive back to dallas with zuzie (she had happened to be in tyler that day for holly's birthday...what a relief!!!) it was a nice little treat to spend the day with holly and the family. god was really watching out for us that day!!!! and just so you know, chad did surprise tyler and me with a christmas tree when he came home on saturday....christmas was saved after all!!!!
