thanksgiving was a while ago

We had a great time in Texas for Thanksgiving. We spent time in Abilene with my family and some time in Plainview with Kev's family. Here are some highlights:

We drove through the night to get there. In this picture, probably taken around 2 am, all 3 of us are hitting that delirious stage--Lola especially.

Meeting Zoey!

My cousins, Mindi and Danna, are also pregnant! Here are the 6 of us...

Macy and my cousin April's daughter, McKinley, have the best time together and remind me a lot of growing up with April, Mindi, and Danna.

Don't I have the prettiest Mama?

brother Paul, sis-in-law Lori, and lil Zoey

Lola had to wear her red sweater to keep warm in the Texas snow.

Kevan's grandmother, Faye, his mom, Janice, and I chose to wear stripes and/or red, too.

Back in Abilene for a day or so... my daddy, Zoey's PaPa

in the car, once again delirious, for the long ride back to Tennessee

I hated that our Texas Thanksgiving was over, but am so glad that it is now time for Christmas trees, lights, movies, and music!  (Kev wouldn't let me listen to any Christmas music until after Thanksgiving, and he still argues that the "Christmas season" is really only the 2 weeks leading up to Christmas day. What is up with that?)
