We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with all of our family. As usual, both sides met up at my grandparents' house outside of Austin for a day full of great food and football. After we ate, we took J's family down to the olive orchard for a quick tour, then headed over to the ranch so the boys could play with their guns. Because of all the rain this fall, there's actually water running through the tanks and creek--the first time in about 10 years.
We came back home on Friday and spent Saturday getting ready for Christmas! Claire had a great time putting ornaments on the tree and helping Daddy put lights up outside. But, now that the tree is up, she thinks Santa is on his way. Everyday she asks if he's coming tonight, then lets out a fantastically whiny "awwwwww" when I tell her not yet. She seems to be content with the reason being that he's still working on the toys, but we'll see how long that lasts.
Here's a picture re-cap of the weekend:
