Texas Thanksgiving

 We are home today after spending 3 days in TX with the Ausili's for Thanksgiving!  We arrived during the evening hours on Wednesday and had a late evening  flight home last night.  We so enjoyed our time with them.  It was wonderful being together!  Faith's friend, Daisy, surprised us all.  It was just like old times.  On Thanksgiving Sieb installed a door for Ausili's then Sieb and Mike took the boys to Cabela's.  When they got home Sieb prepared our meal.  Jenny joked to one of her co-workers that she wasn't cooking for Thanksgiving, that her friends husband does that.  She just provides the food.  Of note in the picture above of all 8 of us.  We look happy and we truly are but it was like pulling teeth to get this picture.  You would have thought we were dealing with toddlers.  Only me, Jenny and Faith were agreeable.  The rest of them were ridiculous!
 On Black Friday we went shopping.  Jenny and I took the older teens while Mike and Sieb took Nick over to Krum, TX (an hour drive one way) to visit Googan Baits.

Nick LOVES fishing and going to Googan Baits was on his bucket list.  He was so happy he got to go!
I miss the Ausili's since they moved but the beauty of a life long friendships like ours is we get together and pick up right where we left off.  Our kids are now 19, 17 (Jay and Curt) and 13 and they are like siblings.  They can argue like it sometimes too.  Ha!
Mom and Kim enjoyed their Thanksgiving with Craig's parents. I am thankful for so many things this year; my mom's recovery, having dear friends who welcome us into their home, and my healthy family.  I look forward to taking things slow in December and to the big trip that awaits us in 27 days!!!
