Thanksgiving

Taylor's first Thanksgiving was great. We did lots of traveling...and surprisingly, Taylor was a good sport about it. We traveled to Temple on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving and then spent a wonderful Thanksgiving day with Tyson's grandfather, parents, Haley and Ryan, and Tyson's Aunt Shelly, Uncle Pat and his cousins, Kayla, Josh, Brock and Chase.

We went to College Station on Friday morning to visit Taylor's cousin Jackson (who just turned 3 months old), Uncle Doug and Aunt Kelley, and Nana and Doodah. Taylor was very interested in Jackson...she's really never seen a younger baby before! While in CS, we took "Christmas" pictures with cousin Jackson....Nana bought some cute, matching outfits for Taylor and Jackson...so they had to have a photo shoot. We headed back to Temple on Saturday evening, and then returned to Lubbock on Sunday morning.

The craziest part of the whole trip was traveling back to Lubbock in a snow storm! It snowed on us for almost two hours! It was very exciting....almost like we were going somewhere cool (like Colorado or something)....but sadly, we ended up in Lubbock. And to top things off, the second we entered the Lubbock city limits, it stopped snowing! What luck! And for those of you wondering, Taylor did not see her first snow....she was crashed out in the car! I'm sure we'll have other opportunities to see snow while we're here in Lubbock!


Taylor was definitely the turkey on Thanksgiving Day!!

Taylor and Jackson's first encounter. They both seemed to be mesmerized by each other. And for those wondering, Taylor is not wearing any clothes because she quickly managed to have an accident all over her clothes the minute we got to Jackson's house!

Just playing with cousin Jack!

Two crashed out babies!

Jackson had the right idea....just sleep through the whole thing!
