Happy Thanksgiving!

I know it's a little late but I hope everyone out there had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Ours began with a day at the pediatrician's office. Jude had his 6 month check up in the morning and then the older two had to get their second dose of the N1H1 vaccine in the afternoon. After that, we were off to Georgetown to spend some quality time with MaMaw and Poppa Steve. We arrived pretty late on Tuesday but Wednesday was full of adventure. MaMaw got us tickets to see the 101 Dalmatians musical that was playing at the Long Center in downtown Austin. It was my first trip to that theater which was really nice. They must be remodeling the Bass Concert Hall because I noticed that the Nutcracker ballet was also going to be held there this year. Anyway, the musical was a hit! James and John really enjoyed all the songs.

Thursday was also a lot of fun. Aunt Sally and Uncle Jason arrived with their two puppies - Gus and Georgia. James and John both enjoyed playing with the dogs and taking them for walks. Poppa Steve and Uncle Jason worked on putting training wheels on James' bike. After a little modification, they were on and James was off and riding his bike. Brian took him out for a ride and then later in the afternoon, I took him for a ride around the block. Thanksgiving dinner was super yummy. We had ham, stuffing, lima beans, corn, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and rolls. Later that evening we munched on queso and different cheese dips while playing Scrabble. Sally rocked the house and beat us all by a mile. The day finally ended with the UT vs. A&M football game. While the Aggies did not get the "W", we were all very proud of how well they played against the #3 team in the nation. We're hoping to get the win next year when Colt McCoy leaves and we still have Jerrod Johnson on the roster.

Sorry I didn't get any pictures from all the activity. We were just too busy having a great time. Here are the only two photos I did take. It was Jude's first time taking a bath in the big tub. He had a great time splashing in the water and playing in the tub with James.
