Thanksgiving in Temple

For Thanksgiving Day we were at home in Temple this year. Bryan is currently working very long hours in the ICU with one day off per week so he didn't have time off for us to travel to Houston during the week of Thanksgiving.
My parents came to their house in Temple and my brother Chris drove down from Denton since my niece & nephew were with their mom that week. My Mom and I split the cooking duties although she did most of the hard work! We had turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, green beans, fresh corn off the cob, salad, mashed potatoes, dressing, rolls, miniature cherry cheesecakes and oatmeal cookies.
Here we are ready to eat our yummy Thanksgiving feast. Caleb loved the food and got to enjoy ever bit of the meal this year, as compared to last year when he was still eating pureed foods!


And now a photo with Mom the Chef in the picture...

Chris brought his keyboard and guitar with him to Temple since he knows that Caleb loves music. They had a great time together playing the keyboard. It was such a special and fun thing for Caleb to enjoy with his Uncle Chris!



After our bellies were full, Caleb went to sleep and we stayed up watching the Aggies take on t.u. Sadly they didn't win even though Sophie was all decked out to support our favorite team!

That looks like a fun relaxing gathering with your family . . .poor Bryan with his long hours (and you with his long hours away). Praying for you all.

Thanksgiving was wonderful. Thanks for all of your help, Betsy! When I look at these photos, the first thing I see is smiling family members whom I love very much..the next thing I see is bare windows in desperate need of fabric! :) We vow to have them up by Christmas! (Although I would rather spend my time playing with Caleb.)
