Thanksgiving in Texas

We've had an absolute blast in Texas for Thanksgiving. We are leaving today, driving to Joplin, and should be home tomorrow by dinner. It's a long way, but well worth it.

This video was taken the same time as the picture, with Gigi and Brayden playing after his
bath.

This should give you a little taste of what we got to experience this time with Brayden. He's changed so much since we last saw him in October at his dedication. He laughs, giggles, coos, grunts, and is teething, so he is doing the best to try and swallow his fist.

When his dad reads to him, it's interactive. As Luke reads, he grunts, and talks back at the book, you have to see it to get the true experience. He really loves his daddy. And his eyes really light when his mama walks into the room. They are very happy, which makes it easier to leave, and have them so far away. We know it's not forever, so for now, we make due.

Well, hope your thanksgiving has been as good as ours. As I write this, everyone else is watching Elf, which makes this holiday trip complete; we've watched a holiday movie.

Hope your Advent is filled with as much joy and expectation as ours.
