So thankful...

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent a day with my parents, another day with my Aunt and my dad and more extended family, and another day with my sister-in-law and her family. We had a great time everywhere we traveled and are feel so very blessed to be living in Texas so that we can be with family for the Holidays. This Thanksgiving Brooks said he was thankful for God. What a sweetie. It's amazing to think back and see all our blessings from this past year and how things have changed since last Thanksgiving. Last year...
This year...

The cousins this year...
We started off our week at Gammy and Pop's house. What a treat to go out to eat at Spring Creek Bar-b-q. Laney loved the hot rolls.
On Thanksgiving Day we were with my Dad and Lady.
This picture is pretty sweet because my half-brother came to visit for the holidays. It happens that his name is also Brooks. So, here they are - the two "Brooks" boys. Little Brooks thought it was cool to meet another Brooks.
I haven't seen my brother since I was a little girl, so I was so happy to spend some time with him and my Dad.
We also traveled out to Carrolton to hang out with Jill, Kyle and Brodie. Delaney loved being silly with her Aunt Jill.
The boys always ask to make a fort, watch a movie, and have a special snack. This time Chad helped them make a huge fort in the playroom while they watched "Land Before Time" and ate Christmas cookie ice cream. Ahh...the life of cousins!
