15 point buck???

Well- the family has finally all gone.  Most of the ham and turkey gumbo is gone too.  But oh the memories . . . What a great week!  And if you haven't heard (you must be living under a rock somewhere)- Ryan killed a 220 pound, 15 point buck this a.m.  It was his last hunt with my nephew Brady before everyone was returning to G-town.  We were hoping for Brady to get one but never expected anyone to kill one like this.  When Ryan called @ 7:45 am, he woke me and Aidan up asking me to bring his camera to the farm b/c he had killed a 14 pt buck.  I said, "Whatever, they don't even make those."  He said, " No, I am not kidding."  So I of course rounded up Aidan, Grammy and Pops and we headed north.  Sure enough- they do make 'em.  Actually they make 15 point ones b/c that's what he actually was- amazing.  I don't care much about hunting but I knew this was a big deal.  I am happy for my husband and will post his bragging pics soon.

Last night was a fun night- Me, Brady, Ryan and Grammy played Spades while Pops read every book in Aidan's book rack to him.   No joke.  I can't believe he did that.  Pops scored some major Aidan points last night!!  

My friend got to bring 2 of her triplets home today from the hospital!  What a blessing!  We are all so excited for the real fun to begin!  

So to sum up my Thanksgiving- I am thankful for:

-cooking gumbo with my Dad
-cooking and hanging with my sister
-Baby Colt's smiles
-watching Australia with my parents
-watching Aidan strengthen his bond with all of my family
-spending time with Ryan's family
-being able to share in Ryan's awesome kill
-my husband
-my sweet friends
-spending time with my lil bro and T
-this little miracle growing inside of me
-God's unconditional love
