The Buies on Thanksgiving Day 2011
Lawson and Hudson are at the age where they are pretty good at posing well for pics. But, every now and then they come up with their own ideas for the pics. As payment for all the times they cooperate with me...I try to be flexible and go with some of their ideas. The pose in the photo above is a Hudson orginal.
The Buies with Brady and "Balerie" (Valerie)
The kids colored turkeys before we ate lunch.
The big meal! Steph and Eddie and their girls were with their family in Little Rock. :(
My mom works on this meal for hours!!! And although its ridiculous that it takes so long to prepare all these dishes...they really are delicious! We had turkey, dressing (its my favorite part...and I look forward to it all year!), green beans (that have brown sugar on them and taste like candy!), sweet potato casserole (which I can now eat about a spoonful of....makes me feel grown up!), mashed potatoes, fruit salad, and yeast rolls. 
The kids enjoyed their dinner with a movie in the living room! It looks nice and orderly...but they ate for all of 5 mins and then apparently there was a wild stuffed animal alligator who was attacking them and they were running around screaming???...
What do you do after a big turkey dinner? Take 2 dogs and 6 kids on a walk! It seemed like a great idea...but we realized quickly that we were a slow moving and high maintenance group...so we just kinda walked back in forth and in circles in front of my mom's house. The kids had a blast! It's always the simple things that are a hit! (and probably what they remember most!)
Lawson and Hudson have come alooooooong way in overcoming their fear of dogs! They were coompletly good being outside with Sparky...even when he was running around off of his leash. This is a first! I remember Thanksgivings when they wouldn't even go outside if he was outside...even in his kennel!
And then we even managed to squeeze in a game of soccer before heading in to watch the Cowboys. Of course, my dad outfitted them with goals and everything!
Here was my attempt to keep all the little ones quiet so we could watch the Cowboys. It worked for a few minutes! :)
