This year we traveled to New Braunfels to have Thanksgiving in the new house with the Oekerman side of the family minus Mark and Katie. Katie was 37 weeks pregnant and it was not recommended that she travel. But we did have some new attendees this year. My mom's longtime friend from Midland Carol was there and so was my Nanaw. She recently moved to Abilene from Midland so this was a special treat.
As usual mom prepared a beautiful meal for us with all the fixin's! Matt even cooked his special mac and cheese which was a hit! Grant also enjoyed his first Thanksgiving meal (last year it was formula and baby food). He loved the fruit salad, mac and cheese and the dinner rolls.
After lunch we all relaxed and many of us took naps. Now that is the life..eating and napping! :) there was also some family coloring time. Grant really enjoyed having his Grammy and Papaw color "Momo" (Elmo) with him.
The day after Thankgiving we all braved the San Marcos outlets to shop the great sales. although we did find some great deals we were all pretty excited about the Auntie Annie's pretzel that we finished the day with! Here are a few pictures at the outlets after a full day of shopping and a full tummy of pretzel!
We all had a great and memorable Thanksgiving with family this year!
