The Hoppers: Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving at the Hopper house in Arlington. It was great to get some family time. Evan really loves his Papa. He loves his Grammy too, but I guess boys rules! Anytime Papa was out of sight, Evan was screaming his name. We had a lazy Wednesday around the Hopper house. It was nice to have a four/two ratio. Evan had fun throwing the football with the guys. His favorite was blowing bubbles. Grammy and Pops got Evan a bubble machine that he could control. He LOVED it! He would squeal with glee every time the bubbles came out. It was very cute! Thursday, of course, was Thanksgiving. We had a delicious meal, but it was a quickly eaten one. Evan loved his food, but after about 5 minutes he was ready to go run and play. Margaret was asleep during grace, but, of course, woke up as soon we all had our food. It was an eventful meal, but we had two kids under two, we expected it! Friday was a great day for Evan. We went to the Fort Worth Museum of Science (or something like that). He mooed all through the cattle museum and 'choo chooed' when he saw the cattle train. He was a little afraid of the dinosaurs. Eventually, he was waving "hi" to all the bones! They also have a great kids area. Evan loved building his own train track, but surprisingly, his favorite was the grocery store. He grabbed the basket and loaded everything he possibly could. He was climbing into the shelving to get all of the vegetables out! They also had a hospital and other fun areas. This is a great place for toddlers!

We have so much to be thankful for. We had two healthy, precious kids. What more can you ask for? Oh, a loving husband? Got that too! We really are so thankful for all of our family. Our parents do so much for us. I have no idea where we would be with out our parents, but I can tell you we would not be where we are now! Thank you Bob, Jeanne, Bill, Sally! Your are amazing parents; with out you all things would be very different. You will never know how thankful we are! Thank you Matt, Bobby, and Marilyn.
