Two Dads, two Moms and four baby girls!

Thanksgiving could easily become my favorite holiday. Now, I love Christmas, it is still my current favorite, but we are creating new traditions at Thanksgiving that are making it a VERY close second. We headed down to Bryan, TX to spend our 5th Thanksgiving with the Crawford family; Aaron, Kay, Carolina, Julia and brand new baby Lillia (9 days old).

Last year we went to their house because Julia was just 2 weeks old, so it was easier for us to join them. We took the trailer, parked at a nearby lake and spent time together. Well, this year, we had to come to them again, because Lillia was born on November 17, so we packed the trailer and headed down. The only problem was that this year Texas and A&M played in Aggieland, so all the RV parks were full. So, much to my dismay, we parked the trailer in their driveway and called it home for the holiday.

One of our annual traditions is for Aaron to fry the turkey. Oh, if you have never had a fried turkey you are missing something, this year was the best one yet!

Macey enjoyed herself so much. She just loves being around other little kids and the Crawford girls are really fun to be with. They played so well together and really enjoyed each other.

This is what Macey did when we said, "Say cheese."

Macey loved baby Lillia. Every time she would go near her she would say, "Aww."

We always have fun at the Crawfords. Their house full of girls is so much fun and we are very blessed to have friends like them. We look forward to Thanksgiving every year mostly because we know we will never be disappointed, it's always something new and always exciting. We have so much to be thankful for, even though our families are far away we have friends who are just like family to spend time with. Thank you Crawfords, for another wonderful Thanksgiving.
