Thanksgiving in Texas

We made the long, long journey back to Texas to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. It was the first time back for me and the boys since we moved in April, and it was so wonderful to see our friends and family again! I failed to get as many pictures as I should have... for instance, I don't have a single picture of us with the Thomsons. They were our backdoor neighbors, good friends, and gracious hosts for this trip. Thank you, Scott & Debra, for always making us feel so welcome. We can't wait to return the favor whenever you can get up this way!

Here is Maddox on our old playset, which is now in the Thomson's yard. He is just about tall enough to actually enjoy it now!

While in Allen, we also got to see our old house since our friends bought it! Thanks, Cindy, for showing us around! The place looks fabulous (even though you painted over my stripes... *teasing*!) and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner in your new home.

Our Thanksgiving dinner was held at my brother's house. Here is Maddox with his favorite Uncle...

The dinner was fabulous, and the company even better. So good to see you guys... thanks, Mark & Debbie, for hosting. As always, it was beautiful.

After dinner, some chose to go outside and enjoy the afternoon, as Mark & Chandler above. But others could be found in the typical lounging position, as demonstrated by my nephew, EJ, here:

Mason and Morgan had a long-anticipated opportunity to spend the night with their buddies. Here's Mason with his good friend, Andrew.

In order to drop him off, we had an opportunity to visit with some of our friends too... here I am with my good friends, Jill & Jazen.

There were so many more people I wanted to see, but it was off to east Texas to spend a couple days with my parents before we made the long drive home.

It was such a lovely trip... despite the long drive. The boys really did quite well taking into consideration they sat in such close proximity to one another for about 15-16 hours!

Just look at how much they love each other!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving...
