Hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful celebration. Mimi & Poppi flew in Thursday afternoon, and all the food was prepared when they arrived at our house. I have discovered over the past few years that I love cooking Thanksgiving dinner! I actually look forward to it each year. This was the 1st year that my mom got to be pampered and not stuck in the kitchen (although she was stuck flying from DFW to Gainesville). She did do all the clean-up, however (with some assistance from Kev); thanks, Mom! I believe everyone enjoyed the meal and togetherness. Gracie, Mom and I battled the crowds and shopped Black Friday. We accomplished a lot, and all of the presents were wrapped by Saturday. Did I mention Kev and the kids had the tree and all other Christmas decorations up for Thanksgiving? We went to an 'open house' at Gloria's Friday night to meet her triplets that live in Austin, TX (a link to their blog is on our site). It was a very nice reception, and the babies are even cuter in person (if that is even possible). Their baby brother is due in January, so hopefully we can see the whole gang again on one of our future Texas trips. Unfortunately, Mimi and Poppi had to leave on Sunday; it was too short of a trip! We are very thankful that they were willing to celebrate Thanksgiving with us; we love you! Oh, Happy 60th birthday, Mimi!!!
