Better Late than Never...right?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, those 3 belong to me.

We were able to go up to my grandparent's ranch (they raise cattle and walnuts in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains) for a couple days right around Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time! Thanks Grandma and Papa! The girls absolutely LOVE it up there and I love seeing them being country girls for a bit. Rayah would feed cattle and climb trees all day long if she were allowed.

Helping Daddy fill up the last sacks of walnuts from this year's harvest- though most of the nuts are long gone there were a few left to help out with. And yes, pictures can lie, Ashlyn wasn't stomping on them:) they were shoving them down the chute into the sacks. Really!

Great-Papa and 2 of his great- granddaughters in front of the hay barn. NH is his cattle brand.

This one is from Rayah's Thanksgiving Day Feast at school.

Okay, I am sorry but this picture just makes me gush with pride on the cutie in Luke's arms (yes, Luke you are a cutie too!). Isn't she just yummy!
Oma and Ash in the back of the mule off to the West Ranch- these are the highlights for my girls. No seat belts and riding in the back of a quad- how much more fun could life be!

Yes, you can squeeze them though I prefer to kiss them all over!
