We did it! We had a fun, successful Thanksgiving.
It was a long day. The day still isn't over and there's still a lot of cleaning to do, but it was a lot of fun.
We'll post more pictures later.
We had 24 people here.
Evan had a great time playing football with his cousins Taylor, Carter, and James. Noah had fun with all of the kids too.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.

Maya (and Michael and Jen)
We spent a lot of today getting ready for the big day tomorrow.
Grandma and Papa went grocery shopping at HEB. Grandma did a lot of cooking. We all did things around the house. We were pretty busy today.
The boys and Papa played baseball outside for a while.
Papa picked up Jen, Michael, and Maya from the airport and then came back to our house. It was Evan and Noah's first time meeting Maya. They liked making her smile. She was very alert and liked watching the boys and Lizzy.
For dinner we went to Santa Rita.
Soon, we'll get Evan and Noah ready for bed.

The First Guests Arrive
While Evan was at school Noah and I ran some errands. We got the car washed and then went to Sam's Club.
When we got home Cole came over. The boys played board games together and then ate popsicles outside.
Cole left and I drove to pick up Evan from school. He was in a good mood and was acting silly.
Grandma and Papa got here a little while later. The boys were very excited to see them and right away asked Papa to play baseball with them.
Before dinner we bought a Futon (for the downstairs office) and loaded it in the back of our van. The boys rode with Grandma and Papa in a separate car and then we all went to eat at Hula Hut.
We are getting the boys ready for bed now.

Noah's Thanksgiving Party
This morning Noah went with me for my run. I pushed him in the stroller.
When we got back I took him to school.
I got stuff done around the house and then Morry and I went to Noah's school around 1pm for his Thanksgiving party. They had all kinds of pies to chose from (cherry, apple, pumpkin) and ice cream, but Noah didn't want any of it. I don't know why.
We came home and I got ready for tutoring.
Morry took Noah to get Evan at school. Gabby came over to babysit.
When I got home we ate dinner and then I went back out again to tutor.
I got home around 8pm and then we put the boys to bed.
Tomorrow is Evan's last day of school before Thanksgiving break.

Nada
This morning we took it easy. In fact, the whole day we pretty much took it easy. We stayed at home today and took advantage of a day with nothing planned.
In the afternoon Evan went over to Jack's house. Noah and I played some baseball while Evan was gone and Morry worked.
For dinner we had corned beef.
The boys watched some of the Steelers game together. We just put Evan and Noah to bed and now Morry's watching the rest of the game.

Close to Home
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
For the most part, we stayed close to home today. The boys got up earlier than us as usual on the weekends. Rachel was scheduled to tutor at 10:45 this morning, so we got up around 9:30 and Rachel left at 10:15.
After Rachel left, the boys played baseball in the backyard. Then I took them to Smoothie King to get smoothies and pick up dog food for Lizzy at Healthy Pet.
When we came home, I made lunch for the boys. I made fried matzoh for Evan and me and a hot dog for Noah. Rachel came home just after lunch. She ate a quick lunch, while we had a catch out in the yard and then Rachel took the boys to a birthday party at Lifetime Fitness.
The birthday party was for Evan's old friend Kevin. They had a bunch of things going on there, some sort of scooter and they played freeze tag. Evan played basketball with Rachel there a bit. On the way out, Evan bumped into his buddy, Carter, from his baseball team. Evan was super excited to tell me he saw Carter when they got home. That seemed to be the highlight of the afternoon.
For dinner, we went to Brick Over Pizza. The food was served super fast and the boys did really well there.
We just gave the boys showers and about to put them to bed. Until next time...
Also, please note - if you are looking to get the boys gifts for Hanukkah, there is a list to the right of things they would like. If you have any questions, please let us know.
