Thanksgiving..Giving Thanks..

I am thankful for so many blessings on our family.   

Happy HJ's birthday.....of course, 29th again!

I got to celebrate my birthday!!!

Fun at the farm..

:: Higher...higher...riding on Pappy's Backhoe..

 :: Boys built a fort with anything they could find around the farm on a cold snow stormy day.
look at those red dirt covered noses!

:: riding old bikes...always good!

Regardless of cold weather (actually they like having a cold weather), 

boys are having so much fun around the farm.

We are so glad that we could be here for James's Grandma's 92nd birthday...Grandma, we love you and hope to have many more years of celebration together..

Grandma Beulah

Snow, Snow, Snow!!!

The boys have been waiting for this moment too------------ long! lol.   We woke up with snow on the ground the other morning.   Even though it wasn't much, they had so much fun playing outside.   

:: Snow day with hot chocolate is a must!

:: at Great Grandma's house...just chilling out and making candies with Uncle John..

Of course, the boys loved to help and taste! haha

Making Pumpkin Pie with Nan..

:: Mom, thank you for teaching the boys how to bake pumpkin pie!

Finally enjoying the fall weather......BACK to the States 미국 여행..

We are back to the States to visit family and for Thanksgiving.  We planned this trip kind of last minute as usual..lol.   I had to renew my legal residency (aka Green Card), James had some things to take care of, and to celebrate James's Grand Mother's 92nd birthday. 

Trip was uneventful and we are enjoying the cool weather..(cold weather for HJ) 

here away from Dubai heat.  

:: from my in-law's garden

:: weather has been just perfect! the boys got to do pumpkin carving finally.!

 :: Boys don't care how cold it is...they are loving the weather and the farm!
