Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving!

is a really special holiday for my family

We've been traveling to my dad's part of West Texas for my whole life to deer hunt and celebrate Thanksgiving and we are so lucky that we still get to go!!

Its a fun-filled casual Thanksgiving meal that tastes like Martha Stewart made it...which isn't close since our head chef (Grammy) is also a Martha :)

Two of my brothers and Jenna (our new aunt to be!) were there, but we missed Uncle James and Aunt Layne :(

Collin climbed the top of the hill behind camp to take this picture...very impressive honey

I couldn't get over this, the rancher who lives here went out with his brother on Thanksgiving Day to practice steer roping. Very cool.

Brothers...

Uncles...

Mom, there's no tv, what do we do?

I guess we will have to spend an hour jumping in these leaves...

And then mom will force a family photo on us which we will not cooperate for of course. "Caleb, you look down and I'll look up...that will teach them"

Out during the official deer hunt...the boys, Grammy, and I only chose to participate for one evening of this...if the cheetoh stained mouth on Caleb and Caden's thrilled expression don't give away the reason for our lack of participation I don't know what does..

Instead we ate the tops off of muffins...

And fed the rancher's horses...

Family pic and yes, that is me 30 weeks pregnant hiking around with Caleb on my back. Don't worry he counterbalances the baby weight...

Hunting is fun!
