Thanksgiving in the great state of TEXAS

Our family of 5 made a trip to Texas for Thanksgiving.

It was Levi's first trip (of many I am sure) to Texas....

Our family had a BLAST....

We were able to see lots of family and friends!

 Me (Shannon) with Jude (my best friend, Rachel's little boy)....

sadly enough....Rachel and I did not even get a picture together....

we were too busy talking I am sure...ha!

 Tracy and I with our Levis:)

 All the kiddos....

 Levi LOVES 'Retta too!

 All the boys loving on Loretta (our neighbor when we lived in Texas)
