SO Thankful!

November 24 – 25, 2011

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have SO much to be Thankful for…………

We celebrated Thanksgiving at our house this year!

Mimi, Papa Rick brought most of the delicious Food over and we spent the day together!

Caroline and Papa!

Walt came too and played and played with you!

This actually worked out perfect this year since poor Eric had to be at work at 10pm on THANKSGIVING Night for Black Friday! INSANE!!!!
Caroline was so ready to dig in to The thanksgiving feast! She was in her chair at the table long before the food was ready! Caroline loved Mimi’s dressing. She ate several helping of it! That Girl loves “Dwessing!” as she calls it!

That night we headed over to Gigi and Pops for a very non traditional Thanksgiving!

We enjoyed chili dogs and Smores out on the Fire Pit! This was so much fun! The Chili air, good food, and Family! The next day we had the Traditional Thanksgiving Feast! Perfect way to begin the Holiday Season!

We are so blessed

Cutting a Few Curls!

November 22, 2011

FIRST HAIR CUT!

Oh Caroline! Today you got your very first Hair cut! Of Course Amanda did the honors and she did a wonderful job! I decided it was time since you had these SUPER long curls that were hanging down way past the rest of your hair! Amanda gave you a trimming! You were so good! You sat up in the salon chair with the Cape covered in high heels! You also had a audience for the big moment in your life! Mimi, Myself, Teresa, Whitney, and of Course Amanda were all there cheering you on as you got your hair cut! We will not be having another Hair cut for A VERY LONG TIME! 

It's a Birthday Party!

November 13, 2011

A Birthday Party!

Today we went to Celebrate Gracyn’s 2nd Birthday! We actually went up early and had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings! Caroline and Eric colored and watched football while we ate! Then we headed to the Party! Peevy did a great job decorating in a Banana and Monkey theme! There were lots of treats all revolving around banana’s because Gracyn loves Bananas! Caroline and Gracyn were happy to see one another! We ate good food and we enjoyed celebrating and watching Gracyn open her gifts. Caroline sat so patiently while she opens all of her presents too! There was one thing Gracyn got that Caroline wanted to see. After everything had been opened she turned to Eric and asked, “Daddy, Can I go see that pink Pony?” Gracyn got a My Little Pony Doll that walks and talks and Caroline really wanted it! Well of Course Eric is a big Softie when it comes to that Little Girl and insisted we get one! So the next Day we ordered Two pony dolls for Caroline! And this is why I Love him so…He has the biggest heart of anyone I know! He is an amazing Father and husband!

We certainly had a wonderful time celebrating with Miss Gracyn!


Xoxoxo,
Momma Katie!

Yo Gabba Gabba!!!

Yo Gabba Gabba Live!


Peevy and I took the girls to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live in Tulsa! Prior to this we had adorable outfits made for them to wear! They were the two most stylish kids at the concert! Both Girls are big fans of YGG! I Mean who wouldn’t be right?! We started the day off by Dropping Eric off to spend the day with Clint! That night they were heading to see the Hogs battle South Carolina / Homecoming Game. We loaded Gracyn and Peevy up into my car and after a huge Meltdown from Caroline we were off to Tulsa! We stopped to have lunch at Cheesecake Factory and it was delicious! Caroline discovered her love for Cheesecake! We shared a piece of the Red Velvet Cheesecake and I think she ate as much as I did!

We arrived a few minutes late to the BOK center. Once we got in and sat down Caroline and Gracyn were both immediately fixated on the Yo Gabba Gabba Characters on Stage!!! It was really an amazing show I have to say! Peevy and I really enjoyed it too! The Girls had a blast, They danced and cheered for most of the show!

After the show we of course has to stand in line for a YGG Concert Tee and Toy! Caroline picked out a Foofa Doll and Gracyn Chose Muno! The Concert Tees’ were precious! OH MY the Girls were SO energized after the show they were all over the place! Needless to say, They Passed out in the car before we were even back on the road!

OF Course we ended up getting lost….Seriously… Who gets lost driving home from Tulsa? OH that’s right Peevy and I do!!! Thank goodness for Peevy’s Blue Dot, other wise we would probably still be lost out in the Boonies of Oklahoma! Note to self Do not rely Stella the GPS Chic! She is a whack JOB and likes getting you lost out in deliverance!

We finally made it back to town and stopped og to pick up BWW for dinner! We made it home in time to see the second half of the game! Hogs won!
All in All The Bunzels and the Thomas has a fantastic day!

Love & Kisses,
Momma Katie
