I am also excited for Alex's mom, step-dad, and brother to come down to Texas for Thanksgiving! It will be the first time they will have seen our home. It's not too much to brag about, but I think it has come together nicely over the past year or so. The boys are excited to see everyone too! I love that they love Alex's family. :) It makes me smile.
I guess I should not forget to mention that Halloween went well (although I could do without that holiday) and the kids received way too much candy as usual. Bryden dressed as Darth Vader and Aeson went as Obi Wan Kenobi. (I don't think I have ever even watched a Star Wars movie, so please excuse any misspellings)
The other major event that has happened over the past few weeks, is that Bryden's football season has come to an end. It was a bittersweet moment. The Prosper Chargers made it to the playoffs (along with every other team) and made it to the semi-finals where they faced the "Mean Green Eagles". It was predicted to be a real nail biter, but it wasn't. We lost the game pretty good. BUT I was happy that Bryden had more people come and see him play than he has ever had. The usual people were there (me, Alex, his dad and his fiance, my parents), but he was excited to see that his aunt, Alex's dad and grandparents came to see him play his final game of 2011. It was heartbreaking to see the boys after the game was over. They have been one of the best teams in the league, so they did not expect to lose this game. They were hoping to play next week in the "superbowl". Many of them were crying, which was upsetting, but we have been practicing 2 days a week since AUGUST. That is quite a bit of time involved for kindergarteners and first graders! Hence the reason I consider the loss "bittersweet". It was a lot of fun though and Bryden has grown to enjoy playing, so I can't wait until next year!!
I enjoy reading about all of the great things your family has going on.
