Thanksgiving 2008

Once again we did it all! We traveled to Abilene on Wednesday. My Dad, Matt, and I started our Thanksgiving off by making room for our pie at the 5K Turkey Trot on Thursday morning. We all had a great time. Congratulations to Matt on his racing debut!
That afternoon we stuffed ourselves, took some photos, hopped back in the car, and headed to Liberty Hill. We celebrated Thanksgiving for the second time on Friday at Tommy & Becky's house near San Antonio. The kids got to play with their cousins (second cousins, actually) on that side. They literally rolled in the dirt together for hours. You know you've had a good time when you arrive somewhere with clothes on but go home in your diaper (in Emma's case).
After we returned to Liberty Hill, we spent Saturday relaxing at the Griffin house. Matt and I were able to enjoy a date to the movies (thanks Papa Wes and G.G.). On Sunday we drove back home.
Here we are at the finish line after the race.

Unbridled enthusiasm...

Here we are trying to get a nice shot with the grandparents, if only the babies would cooperate...

...and still trying to get a good shot here...

The babies are upset by the prickly grass.

Yet another attempt at a nice shot with the grandparents...
