November with the Figgins

We went to the Renaissance Festival a few weekends before Thanksgiving and it was nice to have an outing with just the two of us (well the 3 of us as is evident by my expanding waist-line).


For Thanksgiving we went to San Antonio and had a fun time seeing our nephews.
Here they are at a fountain inside a restaurant we went to.


Dave and I realized that we missed our true callings when we had a contest to build towers out of spaghetti and marshmallows. We didn't finish in the 20 minute time frame time but ours stayed up for nearly 5 hours which was about 4 hours and 50 minutes longer than anyone else's. I think this is a fabulous idea for a Rogers family get together.


It was nice to have the Figgins family almost all together for one last time this year.


Doug shipped out the day after Thanksgiving and will be heading to Iraq soon so I'm glad we were able to be with him before he left. We love him and appreciate all he does for our country. It's crazy to think the next time we see him he'll be a daddy.


And I wouldn't be me if I didn't have some great pictures of "owies". "Rando, want to see my husband's owies!" The first is one Dave got from falling on his cell phone.

The next is one he got at the turkey bowl but he can't figure out when it happened.
