Hanratty Open 2011

We hosted the third annual Hanratty open at our house this Thanksgiving.  We welcomed a crew from all over the country, with Grandma and Grandpa arriving from Wisconsin, the Greens from LA and Seattle and the Butlers from Indiana and Florida, as well as the usual Dallas suspects.  We enjoyed a full house of 6 babies and 18 adults.

We kicked off the day perfectly with tractor rides from Grandpa and gorgeous new handmade hats for a cool morning walk from Grandma and continued the excitement with a bags tournament, annual tee shirt presentation, more tractor rides, swings and babies hanging around being adorable.  We capped it off with Frosty's arrival in the front yard and a fantastic turkey dinner.  Thanks to all who made it a success.  The only thing missing was Auntie Annie (although you were here in photo :) and Crazy Uncle Josh.

Lots of pictures of Kendall in her hat because I couldn't get over the cuteness.

We have so much to be thankful for!!!  

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

As sweet as tupelo honey!

Blue eyed babies

Gavin is back to visit his cousins and the two kiddos were just adorable together! 

 We also enjoyed the opportunity to have an early celebration of the big 3-0 with Aunt Meghan... especially Mollie!  Happy Birthday Aunt Meghan, we love you!

Practice and Progress

Mollie is practicing her letters and numbers. 

Kendall is practicing grabbing her toys and tummy time.

Lots of progress in both departments in the past couple of weeks!

It's not even Thanksgiving...

... but Christmas has arrived in our stores.  WOW, was Mollie excited to see a Christmas tree and meet a Nutcracker that was as tall as she is!

Some make your day faces!
