We had a great, fun, busy Thanksgiving this year! Usually we all go to Orange for Christmas but this year we got together for Thanksgiving instead (yum b/c I just love Dads cajun smoked turkey). Dan and Heather drove from Utah and picked us up in Denton and drove us to Orange.
It was so nice to not drive and just be a passenger this time:) I had so many plans to do while I was in town but unfortunately I caught a stomach virus and was in bed for 2 days....did to get to eat a little thanksgiving dinner. But the best best news is:
We are super excited for Heather & Dan since they are expecting their first baby in June 2010!!! Can't wait for Bex to have another cousin & I just love being an Aunt!!
Getting the camera set-up pics:
and the 3 munchkins
Bekah and Trista just have the best time when they are together! I sure wish they could play more together but I am so thankful for the time that we do get to spend together. 
happy girls
Just the 3 kids! oh and yes to the right there is Trista holding up Copper her new puppy
Yes it was not all play especially for John who worked 2 days we were there and Dan who was busy putting cabinets up, staining, and installing countertops. It looks great and I am sure Mom and Dad are really going to enjoy them!
oh and the not so fun job at all....digging and installing new pipes for the septic system. Thanks Dan we can all thank you for this one! :)
Bex was so excited to see Aunt Heather she went right up and laid on her. So sweet.
On Thanksgiving day we got to go the John's Dads house and enjoy Ginnys yummy cooking! We got to see their remodeling jobs that really look great. Bekah had fun running around Grandpa & Grandmas backyard and kept saying she was "running through the forrest" (they have lots of trees in the backyard:) Bekah also had a fun time playing with her cousin Samantha.
