Mimi's Birthday

Since Mimi's birthday always falls on or around Thanksgiving, we get to celebrate with her every other year.  Happy 69 to Mimi!

 I don't know why these are turned?!? 

 Blowing out the candle on Mimi's cake

 We went to a Mexican restaurant where they sang to Mimi and put whip cream on her face.  

 Drew didn't know what to think at first, then he burst into tears!!!

 Drew was still crying and didn't want to go near Mimi and the sombrero!

 There is a very cool train setup in Livingston at Christmastime that we like to visit. 

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving the last week of May? Why, yes! I am sooooo ready to get caught up but not sure if I ever will.  The longer I wait to write the blog posts, the more details I forget when journaling.

We once again gathered at the Candler Ranch near College Station.  All eight little cousins were there and of course had so much fun playing together! (sorry these pics are all out of order!)

Since 2017 was the year of the Astros, we all wore Astros gear!
