Thanksgiving 2008

This year for Thanksgiving we stayed at home, and my family came over on Thursday night. We feasted on an untraditional Mexican theme with tamales and fixins. We like to do something a little different so we aren't eating 3 Thanksgiving meals in a row with the other places we usually attend also. We also watched the UT/A&M game, and were very pleased :) GO HORNS!

On Friday we stayed around the house and got Christmas decorating done, minus the tree. We are waiting to get that after this weekend, so we're only chasing Finley away from it for a few weeks instead of a whole month. We do put little trees in the kid's rooms, and went ahead and decorated Bryson's tree in his room.

Saturday we went to my Grandma's house in Temple and saw my Dad's side of the family. We always have a great time there, and love to catch up with everyone there that we don't see nearly enough. Bryson loves playing in all the leaves that can be collected in Grandma's back yard, and we stuck all 3 of the little kids in there for a picture too. The kids were exhausted on the way home after not having an afternoon nap, so they sacked out pretty quickly.

We missed Mike's family this year, but we have had a great Thanksgiving and are looking forward to celebrating Finley's first birthday with them this weekend. We should be updating a lot in the next few days, as we take a look back at the first few days of Finley's life :)
