This Thanksgiving was in Austin, and we had two dinners roughly 4 hours apart (but only five minutes away by car). Sometimes the families combine for one Modern Family-style Thanksgiving - mom, stepdad, dad, stepmom, all the stepsiblings, my dad's parents - but this year, with my stepdad's family all in town, we split them up. It was a great day, brimming with delicious food, gorgeous fall-ish(?) weather, families coming together peacefully and enjoying the day. It was topped off most deliciously by the Longhorns' thrilling, historic win. You'll note the burnt orange/maroon allegiances throughout these pictures (the latter being just my grandfather John).
Good gracious this child hardly slept one wink all Thanksgiving day (and woke up every hour that night, during the Texas/Texas A&M game). But she remained happy and sweet through supper #2, and lasted until 7:00 that night - a Thanksgiving miracle. I have NO idea why she couldn't sleep...
Maybe it was the 30 or so admirers she was eager to entertain?
