A Texas Thanksgiving

We visited Jason's family for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time!  Wednesday night started out with a visit to Ryan and Erin's new house (gorgeous!) for Rudy's Barbecue and a chance to catch up a little bit.  Since Jason was still struggling with pneumonia, we called it an early evening and headed back to Mike and Sue's house to rest up for a big Thanksgiving.  Despite being really sick, Sue was hosting a houseful of people--dinner for 18 on the big day! It was such a great day with delicious food and lots of fun friends, just like Thanksgiving should be. Since it was a Texas Thanksgiving, it even included Amanda becoming a gun owner.  Seriously.  Mike has a tradition where each of the daughters-in-law get to pick out a gun from his collection.  Jason even got to pick one out--perhaps as a reward for getting hitched.  Keep watching the blog  for pictures of us at the shooting range as we use our new weapons ;)

Friday was super relaxing, which was perfect with two sickies in the house, and Amanda even got to watch the Iron Bowl, leading Sue to question where her mild-mannered daughter-in-law went--Roll Tide!! Saturday we decorated the Stremels' church for Advent, and ended the day with a Mannheim Steamroller concert with the Kellys and Kosteleckys.  It was such a fun way to kick off the holiday season! We were sad to leave on Sunday, but we are looking forward to Mike and Sue visiting for New Year's Eve!
