Thanksgiving

We had the opportunity to head home to Amarillo for Thanksgiving.  As always, it was a real treat to head home and visit with our family.  We sure do have quite a bit to be thankful for.  We have each other and our bonds, our health, and stable jobs that help us to comfortably provide for our family.

We had a slightly smaller crowd gather this year.  We, along with Jason's parents, headed over to Dennis and LuAnn's house where we also met up with Carol for Thanksgiving at lunch time.  We had quite a spread with turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, dressing, frog-eye salad, and more.  Jason's grandparents weren't able to join us for lunch.  Jason's grandfather recently started a round of treatment that compromises his immune system so he was advised to stay away from the big group.  Jason's mom made the dressing in their absence.  She used Meme and Grandpa's recipe and it was fantastic as usual.  After we all enjoyed our lunch, we took a serving over to Meme and Grandpa so that they could enjoy it as well.  Later that afternoon, Whitney and Nathan were able to swing by and we all got to enjoy the afternoon together.  We also went out front for a few minutes and Nathan snapped a few photos.  He was able to share some with us and we have them posted at the link above.

Beyond Thanksgiving day, were simply relaxed and enjoyed each other's company.  Not surprisingly, Kennedy was a big hit with all the grandparents.  We sure do enjoy getting to see her interact with her grandparents in person.  FaceTime sure is nice, but nothing beats the real thing.  We were also glad to see that she is also doing better at interacting with the dogs.  She isn't quite as scared as she once was. Before we headed home, we were also able to meet up with our good friends, Brice and Lindsey. We went to lunch with them on Saturday and had a nice visit catching up.

We really enjoyed our time back home. Having Kennedy around sure makes the holidays even more special. We are certainly looking forward to Christmas already!
