Thanksgiving 2012...

This year we went to Oklahoma and Texas for Thanksgiving.  We had a great time and the roads were mostly good both ways.
We were blessed to have dinner with Jane & Dean, Don & Wanda, Jeff and two of his sons, Danny & Terri and two of their sons.  It is always good to connect with family.
No surprising, the highlight of our trip was spending time with our new grandson, Pierce.  He is 5 months old and we thoroughly enjoyed him.
 He is one of the happiest babies I have ever been around.  He has a wonderful disposition and such a contagious smile!!
 This is his first attempt at sitting up.  He reminded me of the Leaning Tower of Pierce.
 Pierce and Geezer became good friends.
 The always necessary picture of Geezer and Gramby with the baby.
 I even managed to get a picture of Clay and Shyla!!
 This was my favorite position the entire week.  I loved rocking him to sleep.
When in Dallas, do as the Texans do (or something like that).  Ellen (Bruce's sister) and her family have a tradition of touch football before the Thanksgiving gorging.  Looks a little crazy to me, but I'm not from Texas.


The busy time at Auntie-auntie Ellen's wore Pierce out and he slept quite of the way home.
The holiday also wore out Baxter and Maggie.

We had a wonderful time and always cherish the time we spend with Shyla, Clay and now little Pierce.  Can't wait for the next visit!!!
