Thanksgiving

Since we got married, I have been dreaming of the day Jared and I had kids and got to share them with our families during the holidays. 

We packed up last Sunday and drove to Abilene to stay 2 nights with Honey and Papa G and 2 nights with Granna and Easy.  In those four days, we packed in a lot of fun and family time!

Papa G, Graham, Honey, Gage all in their “Cowboys attire” for the game on Sunday.

(Notice the boys in onesies.  When we left Frisco that morning, it was 74 and was supposed to be the same in Abilene, but it wasn’t.  It was 42 when we got to Abilene that afternoon.  The weather man had it so wrong for the first few days we were there.)

Katie’s turn

(Katie and Rob are Julie and Jerrod’s good friends that recently moved to Temple.  They came by to visit and see the boys since they were in town.

They are so sweet!  They are expecting their first, a little girl, in April.

My great aunt, Phyllis, needed a picture with the boys in their “My Aunt Rocks” shirt that Aunt B gave them

My best friend, Molly and her little boy Jaxon, came to visit and our boys played together. 

(I’ve known Molly since 5th grade)

So much fun and so good to see them!

“Coach” was trying to get all the boys to smile and he accidentally startled Graham.  Trying to make up with him

Trying to cheer Graham up.  Not even the iPhone would make him smile.  He was so tired that day

Later, we went to Jared’s grandad’s house to introduce the boys to him and take some pictures

We had so much fun and had so much to be thankful for this year.  Our two miracles made this Thanksgiving the best yet!

Happy Thanksgiving!
