It's beginning to look alot like . . .
So I just wanted to update you on the latest big events. First off, we cut the 2009 tree, and I think it's the fullest, greenest, most perfect height tree yet (of course I say this every year). Although last year I did get to hold the saw, this year I actually got to cut the majority of the tree down! My muscles must have really grown a lot this past year, because I also carried the heaviest part of the tree with Dad to the tractor. It was lots of fun and was even a little chilly this year! Which brings me to my next big happening--snow in Houston! I'm sure you've heard about it, as it made national news. I've included a few pictures of me playing in the snow after school let out early with my friend Presley and her brother Payne. What fun! The last group of pictures is of Dad and his first semester Rice team. It was a great group of guys, and we've really enjoyed getting to be friends with their families. The pictures were taken at the holiday reception following the last class of 2009. . . But Dad is far from done with the semester. He's hard at work with finals. We're so proud of him for all his hard work and determination. You're almost 1/4 done, Dad-way to go!

Thanksgiving in Wimberley
Our Love Thanksgiving with Grandmother's side of the family was so much fun. 8 families went together and rented a couple of cabins in Texas' beautiful hill country. We had perfect weather and accommodations, delicious food, and wonderful company. The only downer was that Grandmother got sick and she and Grandandan had to go to the hospital Thanksgiving morning. She's feeling much better now and we're already planning the same trip again in two years so that they'll be able to enjoy it with us. The other bad news was that A&M lost--not a good thing in a house full of Aggies. It was probably because some joker (Wesley) snuck a Longhorn cake into the house. We quickly cut the icing "horns" off the cake which turned out to be pretty tasty! I had lots of cousins to play with--We fished, played cars, ran around outside, rode bikes, and busted a pinata! Everyone really enjoyed doing the "Thanksgiving Lounge" which consisted of eating, laying around, playing games, visiting, then eating some more! We also got to visit Grandmother and Grandandan's best friends, the Bartas, who retired in Wimberley. They are now enjoying being Hill Country artists through their pottery and painting. They recently opened a gallery with some other artists in the town of Wimberley-- But the most fun was going to their house where James and I got to throw some pottery! It was such a cool experience, and I can't wait to see the finished product after its fired. It was a wonderful vacation. I hope you had a fantastic Turkey time too.

Best and Final Game
I played my best game of the season on Saturday. I really hustld and got to kick the ball several times, as well as prevented many goals playing goalie about half the game! It was a great season, and I'll miss playing with my team. Until next year . . .

Halloween Fun
My candy filled, spooky spectacular night was AWESOME! My pit crew (Mom and Dad) and I headed over to the neighbor's house where we ate, played, then roamed the neighborhood in search of candy. By the time the night ended, my trick or treat bag was so heavy, the handle busted off! Hope you got lots of candy, too! Listed below are pictures of my class Halloween party, as well as some from my soccer game.
