It was so great to be able to spend Thanksgiving all together as a family - with Rob, Kristen & Owen traveling from California and my grandma (who turned 90 this year) visiting from St. Louis. Collin & I flew so we could be there all week and Mike drove and met us for the long weekend. Nine of us stayed at my parents house. Kristen's parents, brother, and sister-in-law came in town from Austin to spend Thanksgiving and Friday with us so it was a full, fun house!
Collin was so great with Owen, and he especially enjoyed feeding him and tickling him. Owen thought Collin was great and it was fun to watch GG (Great Grandma Gehbauer) interact with Owen too.
On Thanksgiving Day we went to the Frisco Fire station with friends Chrissie & Jackson to visit Jackson's daddy, Brian who is a fireman and was working on Thanksgiving. Collin thought that was really cool to be able to see the trucks up close and had plenty of questions (as usual) about how everything worked.
Friday we visited one of Mike's architecture projects to photograph and then the girls (& Collin) went shopping. We were sure to make it back in time for the Aggie game to watch them beat t.u. and eat some chili.
Saturday we got to spend some time with Laura & Jeff (due 1 month before us) and see Chrissie and Jackson again. That evening we enjoyed watching Missou win against Kansas ("a winning tradition since Sept")! Too bad they couldn't pull off the Big 12 win against O.U.
Sunday we drove home with rain the entire way, turning our 13 hour drive into 14. It wasn't as bad as I expected though since I worked on my school while Collin watched his movies or we played with his new toys. Amazing that this was the first day we'd gotten rain in Georgia in a long time.
