Thanksgiving in Texas....first in 13 years!

That's right.  Mike and I have spent our marriage having Thanksgiving in KS and Christmas in TX.  This year Mike's Uncle LH wasn't going to be in town for Thanksgiving....meaning our KS family didn't have a place to gather together for Thanksgiving.  Grammy went up to KS to see Grandma & Grandpa Brown and Grandma K...but there wasn't enough room for all of us to stay with her.  So, Mark and Angela came to our house for Thanskgiving.  This was our first time to cook Thanksgiving and I'm sure it doesn't surprise you that Mike went all out!  Daddy Steve, Namaw, and GG came over to help us eat the enormous feast that Mike created (turkey and ham...and all the fixin's).  We also had 4 pies (Angela made a pumpkin and I made a caramel apple crunch, a pecan, and a blackberry cream), cookies (by Namaw), and pecan pralines.  Needless to say, we had a fridge FULL of leftovers...but boy were they yummy!!

Again, I was too busy in the kitchen and socializing to take many pictures....but here are a few I took...

Mark, Angela, Jayden, and Laney

The kid table...

Namaw was super excited to have a little girl to play with! 

Angela and I got a good laugh when we walked out of our rooms Thanksgiving morning wearing almost the exact same shirt and jeans!!!  Nope...wasn't planned...but it was fun :)
