Thanksgiving Day

Our Thanksgiving day started off a little rough with what should have been a 2 hour drive back into the Dallas area from Tommy's parents. Unfortunately, due to a train de-railing the night before, the freeway into Dallas had been shut down. We sat in traffic forever and then were forced onto another freeway and had no idea where we were. A grand total of 4 hours later, we arrived at my aunt and uncles house. I promise you if we hadn't left some of our stuff at my dad's we probably would have just changed the destination in the GPS and came all the way back to Denver! Fortunately after we arrived, our drive was quickly forgotten and we had a great day eating tons of food, playing Wii, doing crafts and visiting with family.

Addison, Brylee and Ashton playing with dinosaurs. Reagan had a blast with Ashton. They were very serious about their game. Ashton is a living miracle, many of you Texas bible study girls prayed for him several years ago. He had cancer in his leg as a baby and had to have his leg amputated. He is cancer free and a healthy 4 year old now. He has a prosthetic leg, but he is not a fan and can't be convinced to wear it very often. No need though, he gets around just as fast as any other kid without it.

After spending the afternoon with my family, we headed to Tommy's aunts house. There we ate more food, watched the Cowboy game, played with cousins and had a great time catching up with everyone. I took no pictures there, or for the last few days of our trip. I think maybe 9 days of travel, unpacking and repacking for 4 different locations and keeping up with the girls had us too busy and tired for picture taking. We are thankful for a great trip, for safe travels, for our family and for God's love and provisions.
