We sure had a nice time with the family in Houston this past Thanksgiving. The food was delicious and abounding (especially desserts - my favorite), the company was great, and we got to meet some new faces as well as see some familiar ones.
Michael especially enjoyed his time with his brothers as he, Dwayne, and Alex went cycling every morning. Who knew Houston has such nice cycling trails?! All three are training to ride in the MS150 next year in April; so they have lots of endurance training to do.
Savannah especially enjoyed squealing with her cousin Kioni and playing with her toys and things. With her it seems like other kids' toys are always better than her own. She also enjoyed playing at the park, climbing the stairs, taking baths and going for walks with her cousin and the doggies.
Lexi was practically perfect the whole time too. Well almost! At one point I left the girls with the aunties for a short time (to bring a spare key to the bikers who had locked a car key in the car :-) ) and about twenty minutes before I made it back, my usually quiet and happy Alexandra was screaming mad and wanted to eat right that moment. So I got the update phone call and hurried back to nurse the little one. Five minutes after she had calmed down, her aunty's ears were still ringing from Lexi's hollering. She's such a screamer, her poor aunty's had seriously considered introducing Lexi to solid food in an attempt to make her happy! Yes, my Lexi is practically perfect but she is a fast food baby - when she wants to eat, she wants to eat now. No ifs ands or buts! I'm grateful to Kiki for watching the girls and for doing everything humanly possible to keep 'em happy. :-)
I enjoyed a lot about this trip. Probably my favorite part was sneaking away with my sisters Kiki and Kina to enjoy a movie. Lexi came with us too and slept through the entire movie. We weren't out for very long since we were all tired from all the preparation for the holiday feast, but we certainly enjoyed our time together. I think that we will have to do that again for sure.
