Thanksgiving Week Nov 09 Part 2

These are from Wed and Thursday. I took a walk on the beach Wed evening and caught the sunset on the way back up to the condo.



This was a big jellyfish washed up on the sand.


Getting lower and lower




Plop!


Sunset from the balcony, again.


Thanksgiving morning...heading out to school. Chrissy had to stay home as she was too sick to go out.



Thanksgiving morning. The gulf was so calm the waves were more like ripples.


Time to eat!! That's Theron and Mary at the table. Johnny, TJ, Joey, Samantha, and Chrissy at the counter.

Sunset on Thanksgiving. I know, I know...I just can't get enough of the sunsets.


Me and my honey


Theron looking at the sunset.



Chrissy, Johnny (being a nut) and TJ watchin' tv

Johnny took this of me without me knowing it...he's a booger.

Johnny took this of his brother.



This was a boat out in the Gulf in front of the condo...and there were tons of birds in the water. There must of been tons of fish, because soon there were lots of boats and even more birds! This was taken Nov 27th in the morning.

Another view from the balcony. The water was SO pretty today.

Thanksging Week Nov, 09

We are staying on Perdido Key for the third year in a row for Thanksgiving. This condo is beginning to feel like home! We've gotten the same one each year, as it is big enough for all of our family and then guests, too. This year, we have Joey and Johnny staying with us, too. I'll be adding pics as the week goes along. The view last night (Nov 22nd) from our balcony. It's been very cloudy and rainy since we got here on Saturday, but it's still beautiful!





That's Mary and Samantha coming back from their walk on the beach at sunset. Mary spent most of the day spending time with her little sister!



There they are again! The waves were still huge from the storm the night before.




Joey, Chrissy, TJ and Johnny sitting
on the couch, not letting me get a serious picture!


I tried to surprise them, but it didn't work.


Crazy!

Happy Birthday, Samantha!

These pictures are not in order...but they are all part of Samantha's birthday week celebration. We love you, Samantha!! We are so thankful that God gave you to us. Sam's birthday was Monday, Nov 9th. We had girls over to spend the night on Friday, Nov. 13th. They had a great time.
Wendy made Samantha a special cake for her 14th birthday. Sam wanted a "Phantom of the Opera" themed cake. This is what Wendy designed...it tasted yummy, too!









This was on Sam's actual birthday. Isn't she pretty?



We had this cake (ice cream sandwich cake) on Saturday, Nov. 7th. Aunt Jo came from FL to help Lisa with Bethany while Bruce was in the hospital the following week. We all met up for dinner and dessert, and celebrated Sam's birthday.



TJ, Bruce, and Sam at the Fowlers' home after dinner.

Happy Birthday, Michelle!

My good friend, Michelle, came to Fredericksburg on her birthday. We had some cake and ice cream to celebrate. Food always makes everything better! Darlene and I took her to Carrabbas for lunch after church.

TJ, Johnny and Stephen eating some cake and ice cream. They had all dressed similarly at church....not planned, of course. Johnny, chowing down.



Happy Birthday, Michelle!
