Thanksgiving 2011

For this Thanksgiving we decided to go to Corpus and visit my parents. The kids had a whole week off from school. It was a pretty relaxing Thanksgiving. We went to the beach a lot. The water was pretty chilly. Despite that there were still a handful of people swimming. Including lil Ricky. CRAZY!!

My parents made a turkey dinner which was pretty good. It was just the basics so no a ton of sides. Still way more than enough food. We were stuffed.

We also tried to take a family picture by the beach. That didn't really work out. We went in the morning so the sun was ALWAYS in our eyes. We also had to take the wind into consideration. Many things were against us. Sigh.........

I thought they turned out awesome.

Hana's Wisdom To Me

I have not posted in a while. I really need to post and catch every one up on our Thanksgiving and what we have been up to.
I will save that for a later date though.

I just wanted to post something Hana said. This is something I don't want to forget.
I must say, it was not funny as it was happening.

Most people know Hana and I butt heads all the time. We just see things totally different. I think wearing a nice dress to her Christmas concert is the right decision vs her choice of outfit, jeans with a skirt and a non matching shirt. Daily we're on different pages. I'm so exhausted by night time that I think I literally check out around 7pm and anything goes.

This particular day she got in trouble in school and I was trying to explain something to her regarding the issue. She finally looks at me and says "mom you are arguing with a 4 year old."

I didn't know if I should pull my hair out or laugh.
Where does she get this stuff?!?!
She is pretty smart though. There is no arguing with a 4 year old. There is no winning with a 4 year old. It's a lost cause.

She definitely keeps me on my toes and makes me laugh.
