Thanksgiving in Texas

We got to drive the whole state of Texas, or at least most of it and visit some really fun people.
The first half of the week we were in Arlington with Uncle Kaelan and Aunt Kaysha. We got to meet their awesome dog Abby, and see all of the great nursery stuff for baby Shane comign soon.
They took us to Lego Land which was a big hit with all the boys and a new resturaunt that I am in love with. Let's just say Torchy Taco's is a must every time I come to Texas now.


 Then we got to go to Lufkin and meet our new cousin/neice Brooklyn! She is a doll and we loved holding and snuggling with her. While taking these pictures I mention how chubby Brooklyn's cute cheeks were, Elle wanted to measure how chubby hers are. It was great to wrestle and play with Uncle Westley and see Aunt Stasia as well. 
 Grandpa and Grandma Christensen were there too and Grandpa taught Elle and Conway all the finer points of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Conway is now tramatized for life, of people with big noses. :)
 Britton was in Heaven playing Ultimate Frisbee twice! The ward had a frisbee turkey bowl! then he got to play with them again on Saturday. he was missing the sport and was so happy for the opportunity to play. Thanks West for making his dreams come true. :)
Then Britton went on a few bike rides 
and we all went to lots of parks!  
 The Lufkin Zoo is a must for all visitors we loved every bit of it.
 They also have a cute mini train, boths kids were entranced.Uncle Westley and Aunt Stasia taught Conway how to play battle ship
 Grandma made a great thanksgiving meal. We were all so grateful to be together and enjoy such a special season.

Don't worry we got plenty of shopping in and both boys got new boots, "when in Texas", and we left plenty more to do when we go back to visit soon.

Love,
