Thanksgiving!

I'm so mad I forgot my camera. You'll just have to use your imagination. Jared had the whole Thanksgiving week off, so Friday after work, we drove to Houston to see our buddies Alex and Cathryn (and Bella...their cat!) We got to hang out with Dave and his new wife Danielle and Jake too. (All of Jared's roommates once again reunited). We played Settler's of Catan, went out to eat, and played some kiddie murder game where we hold hands and the murder keeps killing people and then you guess who the murderer is, lol. We also ate sloppy joes and had a great time! We had lots of fun there for the weekend, though the drive up with 2 sick kids was miserable. It took us 5.5 hours to drive 3 hours. A visit to the doctor let us know that Allie's 2 ear infections was what was making her so cranky and causing her to not eat or sleep much.

Anyways, on Monday we went to Austin to stay with Jared's sister and her family. Jared's family from Utah also came down for the week, so the house was packed and we had a great time. Kailee loved having so many people to adore her and play with her! Jared's Mom also had a family picture arranged in which half the family wore BYU hoodies and the other half wore Longhorn (Univ. of Texas) hoodies because that's where Jamie graduated from law school, where Adam is finishing up business school, and Terrie, Amie, and Kevin always where UT stuff since they're from Texas. We had our girls in blue shirts. My BYU bow saved Allie from looking like a boy! I can't wait to see the pictures. Terrie made the BEST thanksgiving dinner and pies ever and we had a fun week playing games, hanging out, and going to chuckie cheese's. And there's a possibility we'll be going up to Utah to hang out with the whole crowd again in a few weeks. Keep your fingers crossed that gas stays down! And if you'll be in Utah, we hope to see ya! Sorry about the long post!
