Thanksgiving in Abilene, Texas (Part II)

None of us could resist Aspen's cuteness! Here she is enjoying a corn dog (not to be confused with cattail).
Mason enjoying his Ramen. I think I would enjoy my Ramen more if I ate it like that.
Mason all tuckered out from the festivities of the holiday.
Breck doing some male bonding with what else--electronics!
Our fabulous Thanksgiving spread
and scrumptious pies!
The happy family eating the Thanksgiving meal. Some are too engrossed to pose for the picture, but not our dear hostess Melanie, who spent the whole day cooking the enormous feast (and that's even with little ones hanging on her legs--pretty amazing!).
Aspen enjoying her own "thanksgiving feast" of gourmet cheese stick, and fresh out-of-the bag lunch-meat!

But the dessert more than makes up for what might have been lacking at the feast (who needs pie, when the whip cream is this delicious and 
fun to eat!).
Mother/daughter bonding.
Next to Melanie's house is a small field airport and museum, with fun old stuff to play on.
Breck having fun with Aspen (who doesn't have fun with Aspen?).
The airport runway. We had so much fun playing on that little runway.
To top off our perfect Thanksgiving day, Melanie provided fun crafts-kits for everyone. The boys made an awesome gingerbread house 
and the girls made beaded ornament Christmas trees
and Christmas hair flowers.
But sadly, all good things must come to an end.
We can't thank Melanie and Eric enough for letting us invade their house and lives for a few days. We had a great Thanksgiving, and made wonderful memories we will cherish always!

James needs to eat whatever you're feeding Breck. Oh my heck! Pretty kids all!
