Quick post before I head to bed...

We had a great Thanksgiving. We drove over to New Braunfels to see Jamie's family...aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents. We haven't seen them in a while. I wish we lived closer because our visits with them are always so much fun. The girls had a blast. They were completely spoiled and given lots of gifts, but I guess that's one of the joys of getting to see family. They played with all their cousins, which was sweet to watch. The girls wanted to stay longer. Jasmine was determined to. We were leaving, and she decided she was going to stay. When we didn't let her, she started crying. She was upset most of the drive home. But her Aunt Sandy called and talked to her, and I promised Jaz that we would go back to see all of them again soon. Hopefully we can head over there for Easter.
I first met most of Jamie's family less then a week after we were married. I fell in love with them. They all welcomed me as one of the family even though they didn't know me. They've treated me with love, kindness and generosity from the start. I'm so thankful for them and all of my family.
And now Christmas is so close I can smell it. I'll be getting the tree put up this week (hopefully), and soon I'll have family in town. I had one brother show up already, and will have another brother and sister here in a few weeks. I'm excited to see everyone. I can't believe this year is almost over. But I guess I say that every year.
Oh, sorry no pictures. We were in such a rush to get out the door that I forgot to take my camera. I'm going to have to bum some pics of my in-laws.
I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving!
