Wow, that flew by!!
So, how did we finish off November 2011?
Shelby spent some time as a pilgrim.
We enjoyed Thanksgiving day at family’s house in Dallas. My aunt and uncle have lived several places around the country over the years but his job landed them back in Dallas last year, so it was awesome to spend the day at their amazing house. Mimi and Jack were there too, and we enjoyed a full DELICIOUS meal followed by football, games, trampoline jumping (and maybe a little nap on the couch!) Shelby and Coleman loved the trampoline so much that it gave them an idea for a Christmas wish. 
Jeff smoked the turkey and it was delectable, as usual.
Over the month, we had a thankful tree. The kids and I stopped out in the field at Coleman’s school to pick up some branches one day after school. We went home and put together our thankful tree, and everyone added to it throughout the month of November. At the end of the month we read it during dinner (we didn’t have Thanksgiving at our house, so not on that day!) and I was so proud and amazed at how the kids filled up those branches with names of friends, family, God, and other important things like food and shelter.
We got some new décor. I picked these letters up at Hobby Lobby and love the color they add to our wooden (blech!) walls.
On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Jeff and I headed out to Cowboys Stadium in Arlington to see the Texas Tech / Baylor game. We went with Tyler and a group of his friends, some of which are still college students…Hence, the beer hat and etc. Ahh, Nate:
It was windy and COLD! We ate out of the back of the Tahoe.
Did you know that when you tailgate at the stadium, the fires HAVE to be on the grass? Not the concrete. Makes sense in a drought, huh? ……. not.
We got to hang with some old friends the Plunketts! Steve, Drew & Jeff all went to TTU together. Being on opposite sides of the metroplex, with 2 kids each, we haven’t seen them much in the past few years!
There was more talking than game-watching, but I did watch the band
Turns out the game wasn’t worth watching for Tech fans anyway…
Next, it is on to DECEMBER! Ho ho ho.
