A Thanksgiving full of Thanks!

What better way to celebrate the Thanksgiving Holiday than with the ones you love and lots of food. We are very thankful that we have our family and friends nearby so that we are able to spend time with and visit everyone. Our holiday stops actually started the Sunday before Thanksgiving at my Granny Loewe's house. She is 88 years old and still has the entire family over for the holidays, and it is not a small family. With eight grandkids (who are all married with kids except one), twelve great grandkids (with two more on the way), and aunts and uncles, Granny's house is quite full for the holidays. We had a great time with all the cousins. Every year we draw names at Thanksgiving for Christmas. It's always fun to find out at Christmas who got your name.
On Thanksgiving Day, we headed over to Nana and Papa Rau's house for lunch along with the Hardy family and Dane's Great Aunt Mimi Nienast. We always enjoy our time over there with everyone. The boys thoroughly enjoy playing with their cousins, Jenna, Leah and Luke. We spent the afternoon over there, and Brady and I managed to get in a nap.
That evening we were invited to the Maurer's home to watch a little football; A&M vs. Texas. It turned out to be a really great game, but those Aggies just couldn't stop those Longhorns from taking home yet another victory. Kade and Brady always love playing with Avery, Austin and Caleb.
That Friday after Thanksgiving, the boys and I decorated the house for Christmas. That was quite interesting. What they call "helping me," I call "getting in the way." Nonetheless, we got it all up, and it looks great. The boys liked decorating the tree and hanging on all the ornaments. It was a funfilled holiday weekend full of many things and people to be thankful for.
