Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a fun, hectic Thanksgiving. We started Thursday off with lunch with Don's family in Arlington, moved to dinner with my parents, then hit the road first thing Friday morning to have lunch at Dondi's Grandma Cross' farm near Perkins, Oklahoma. We had planned to stay until Sunday morning, but it worked out best to come home Saturday, instead. Saturday's return trip involved eating at Babe's Chicken Dinner in Sanger, Texas, so all was not lost. :-)

Here are some pictures from the weekend. (Some were taken with our Olympus, some with my iPhone, so the quality is a little different from photo to photo).

Jordan checks out the barn and backyard area behind Grandma Cross' home.

Jordan and Matt loved the tractor in the barn.

Jordan hangs out on the carport outside Grandma Cross' house.

Matt drags a bucket around Grandma Cross' backyard. Behind him is cousin Sklyar, who is a day older than Jordan.

Jordan and Matt pose in front of the Texas welcome center in Gainesville.


Matt poses near the sign by himself, in a picture reminiscent of this favorite of Jordan's, when he was about the same age.

Matt, at the end of the day. Clearly ready to be out of his car seat and in his crib.

Catching up

Grammy (a.k.a. Jo-Jo, a.k.a. Wendy, a.k.a. Debbie) is now a member of the Dallas Arboretum. Thanks to her membership, we've been out a couple of times to take in the beauty around White Rock Lake. We enjoyed a trip right before Halloween to check out their pumpkin patch. We went back today to check out the pioneer town and to get some pictures. It was gorgeous.

Enjoy the pictures.
