We just took a little trip to Austin and Waco to do an early Christmas with our families. Both visits were fun, but our time in Austin was made especially memorable because we "skyped in" my sister Brittany who has been working in Hawaii since September, is continuing her nanny work in Malaysia (leaving tomorrow), and will be back to Texas in mid-Feb. So it was like she was there, but not. The only thing we missed more than her sweet face on the computer was the ability to give her a big hug! I did not take a single picture or video of our time in Austin or Waco, but I'll link you to my sister's blog, who documented her end of the skype experience! Enjoy!

Family Pictures!
We had family pictures made in October and had a great time! If you are in the DFW area, we would definitely recommend this photographer. Visit her website at www.chera25.com. For a mini session (15 minutes), she charges $30 and you get 10 edited pictures to download and keep for yourself!
Just-for-Fun Pictures!
I took these pictures last week just for fun....Katelyn wore the same Santa outfit when she was a baby (from my grandmother).

Thanksgiving Festivities!
We had a fun Thanksgiving this year! We decided to see what it was like to have Thanksgiving at our house, and although we missed being with our relatives, we did enjoy giving thanks with each other!
To start the Thanksgiving holiday off, Katelyn's preschool had a Thanksgiving Feast and performance. In case you're wondering what a preschool "feast" consists of: chicken nuggets, apple slices, carrot sticks, a chocolate chip cookie, and fruit punch....a little on the non-traditional side, but a preschooler's dream lunch nonetheless. Dave was in China, so I invited my friend Rose to come watch the performance with me. We had a great time! See pictures below...
On Thanksgiving Day, we watched the Macy's parade on T.V. that morning and then hosted our friends, Michael and Sue, for dinner that evening. This was my first Thanksgiving dinner to cook by myself (except when we were in China, and that was just different altogether), and it turned out pretty well! Since Michael and Sue are from China, we shared a little about the Thanksgiving story and made turkeys with our handprints. To top off the evening, we enjoyed Cheesecake Factory pumpkin cheesecake (thank you Sam's Club!).
So much to be thankful for indeed!
