This past month has brought us more visitors, our good friends the Siverts. We went to Sea World and had a great Thanksgiving together. The kids have been sick this past week so that's not so fun. Things are just moving along here for us, only 7 1/2 months until we can relocate! Yea!!! We are so excited for the Fellows fam to come for Christmas. Also to see Jake who just came home from his mission, Trey hasn't got to meet him yet. And none of us have got to meet little Julian, the new cousin to join the family. Isn't family great! Have fun with the Pics...love y'all.

I seriously hope this goes away. She looks so awful it's sad.

The poor kids have had horrible eye infections which we see no end to yet, and have now started in on some pretty hearty colds. Awesome!!!

Sofee...the phone's for you. She just picked the phone up and started walking around the house.

Bree decorated the tree almost all by herself.

Trey loves the BALLS on the christmas tree!

We went to a park that had a big Christmas light display, the kids loved it. And we were a little warm because it was 75 degrees and really humid that night.

Don't we look cute???

Shamu Santa...everyone needs a picture with a Shamu Santa.

Trey liked the Penguins...I think it's because he watches Diego and they always save the penguins on that show.

Cute boys

Cute girls!

This was one of the slowest most boring rides ever, but all the kids could ride so we did it.

Aren't these whales beautiful.

Everybody loved the Shamu show!

Dolphins feel kind of like a wet suit.

Bree loved feeding the dolphins, isn't she cute!

The shrieking eels

Bree liked the sharks

We watched the Stingrays and fish have lunch.

We were watching the stingrays and sharks get fed and a scuba diving Santa showed up.

At Sea World they showed a clip of The Polar Express in 4D. Meaning it was 3D plus other sensations. Examples: during the hot chocolate scene on the train the theater smelled like hot chocolate, when the train started up the theater filled with fog, when the train was going really fast our seats rumbled, when the train skids to a stop on the ice we got a squirt of water all over us, and at the end it snowed on us. The kids really liked it.

Daddy and Buddy

Bree was scared to even go by the alligators, even though there 2 fences between us and them.

Jeff really wanted a turkey leg at Sea World...well he found one. Trey is looking on longingly.

I don't even know how that walrus can move, he was massive.

We got to see the Sea Lion show, the kids really loved it.

The Budweiser Clydesdale horses were at Sea World (not sure why, but they we're pretty)

Trey liked that he got to sleep in the big bed at the hotel.

Story time

Silly babies

Pumpkin Pie...yummy!

Watching Santa come through the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Isn't that cute?

Buddy feeding the ducks and turtles.

Best Friends!

One big happy family

Our kids just love a good beverage...The Elder family is to blame for that one:)

Cute smile buddy

We've never been that close to an elephant, it was stinky!

There was an elephant walk at Texas A&M (a tradition) so we went over to visit the elephants.

Cute kids

Trey and Brook playing the elephant game. They would just let all the butterflies fly to the ground then pick them up and fill their nets. That's one way of doing it...
