Thanksgiving in Texas

For Thanksgiving this year, we decided to escape the clutches of Lawton and go down to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Georgetown, Texas. It's so wonderful having them so close (only 5 1/2 hours drive) that we can just pick up and shoot on down there for a weekend, or week in this case. Uncle Andy was there also, so Elijah really had tons of attention and played constantly!

While we were there, minus the regular Thanksgiving activities, Elijah had the pleasure of finally taking a ride in Grandpa's golf cart! Per Matt and Grandpa, he loved it! Elijah also had the displeasure of trying acorn squash. Despite his initial excitement with the rice cereal, Elijah seems to be rejecting all foods other than the breast now. Hmm. 

Anyhow, it was a wonderful visit with the immediate family and Elijah even met Uncle Mike and Aunt Pam from Buffalo, NY, crazy Uncle Tom and Aunt Joan from Lake Austin and second cousins Brad and Lindsey from Fort Worth, TX. And, to top it off, Elijah even got to touch and talk to his future cousin, Austin, who enjoyed Thanksgiving from mommy Lisa's belly! 

Thank God this Thanksgiving for family. A great, BIG family!
