We took a mini vacation for Thanksgiving this year. We decided to go to Texas. We left on Tuesday night at 6:00 and got to Marji and Jim's at 10:30. The next morning we packed up and took a quick trip to Austin to see Grandma B and Grand Dad. It was a good visit but the travel was atrocious! It took us 6 hours to get to Austin where it would normally only take 3. AdaBelle got sick on the way there and threw up all over her carseat. When we got to Austin we put her in the bath and she was very lathargic the rest of the night. I think Grandma B enjoyed the visit though. Unlce Tommy came by to see us as well and he's such a funny guy!!!! The trip back was uneventful but we didn't make it back to Marji and Jim's until 11:30 that night. Needless to say it was a loooooong trip.
We celebrated T-Giving day in Dallas at the Anderson's. We had: Marji, Jim, Thomas, Matthew, & Kaylee; Marcie, Jeff, Landon, & Blake Kump; Kay & Oscar DeVaux Vi; and AdaBelle, Oscar viii, Oscar vii, & Me.
It was fun. We had nutmeg potatoes, smoked turkey, ham, rolls, strawberry jello, stuffing, greenbean casserole, and lots of desserts. The kids ate outside and had fun screaming and running around in Marji and Jim's backyard. They had so much fun with eachother.
Black Friday was uneventful as well. Marji and I had thought about going to the mall near their house that opened at midnight but decided against it. We watched The Hulk and stayed up late. I spent most of Black Friday morning online looking for good deals and found quite a few. We left the Anderson's around 10:30 a.m. and traveled all the way to Texarkana where we stopped to shop at Ross' for clothes for the kids. *they grow really fast. both hit a growth spurt at the same time* We found some really good deals and made it back out to the car to hear the Razorbacks beat LSU!
We had to stop at Wal-Mart in Malvern on the way home and then we got home and bathed the kids and stayed up til Oscar had to go to work at 10:00 that night. All in all it was fun but I'm still recovering from sleep deprivation. AdaBelle apparently gets car sick and is still trying to get back on her schedule from the weeks' events.
Thanks to everyone who helped make the trip a success and for all the love and support ya'll give us!
