Thanksgiving

Well . . .Thanksgiving break came and went rather quickly.  Austin was here for a few days and his dad takes full advantage of the extra help when he is here.

Since Kylie had to work before and after Thanksgiving we gathered at Britni's so Kylie wouldn't have to spend most of her time on the  road.  But that meant I had to gather up everything and haul it to Britni's.  I spent Wednesday baking pies. . .

pumpkin (one of Austin's favorites)

chocolate (Kylie's favorite)

and sugar pies (everybody's favorite).  The kids fight over these and they do not share - even with their spouses or their own children!!  I have to divide them up and put them in separate baggies for each child!!

On Wednesday evening we had dinner together.  Steven and Kylie had a Halloween kit left over and Steven, Chandler and Rainey got to work on getting the haunted house put together. 

On Thursday we had our turkey and dressing and then the boys played video games and Rainey watched movies.  The rest of us relaxed and waited for the Aggie vs tu game!  And yes - the Aggies BTHO tu 24-17.  Whoop!!

My beautiful girls!



My handsome boy!!

 


Intense Aggie fans





Britni strategizing for Black Friday shopping!!

We had to do a little photo shoot during halftime of the Cowboy game to get some pics for Britni's Christmas cards!!  It was freezing cold and it was pretty hilarious watching Britni try to get the kids, Chuck and the dog where she wanted them!!  LOL

Look at the sweet little blessings we found under the Christmas!!  :)




We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we have been truly blessed and are so thankful for our salvation, family, friends, good health and so so much more!!!
