Thanksgiving Texas Style

This is the third Thanksgiving that we have spent with the Crawfords, so it is officially a tradition.  Our first Thanksgiving together we spent at a "cottage" near New Braunfels in 2005, and that was the first year we deep fried a turkey and we will never turn back.  Deep frying the turkey has become the highlight of the holiday, and this year did not disappoint.

The man in charge of the turkey....yum!

Kevin did not have to work on Wednesday which made it great for traveling, so we didn't have to fight with all the others on the road.  This year we decided to head to Bryan, where the Crawfords live, since they have a three week old.  We took our trailer and parked it at a nearby lake so we could take our little one "home" at night, since our nights are very unpredictable.  It worked out great, and she slept better than she does at home.

We were very excited to get to meet the newest Crawford, Julia.  We were also excited to get to introduce Macey to the Crawfords.  It was quite funny to remember back to our first Thanksgiving together, three kids ago!  Back then we stayed up late playing games and slept in late only to watch football all day long.  Not this year, with a 3 week old, an 11 week old and a 19 month old things were pretty busy around the house, not a lot of sitting around or sleeping.  Although, I must say, this year was the best so far.  We had the best food of all the year's past and we had the most family members...there is nothing better than good food and family on Thanksgiving!

Here is Carolina!!!

We hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!
