Texas Day 5 - A Day of (Kind Of) Rest)

With the Thanksgiving turkey (and potatoes, cookies, mac & cheese, cheesecake, etc) still digesting, it's time to sit for a bit and try to catch up on the ol' blog. Before we break out the Christmas decor, I want to try and get Texas finished, and quickly document our Thanksgiving festivities before Christmas and another vacation come around.

Compared to most days on our Texas trip, this one was fairly tame. We went to church with my parents and after lunch at home, my Mom and I snuck out during a much needed regular nap time for the kids to get pedicures. Relaxing, sure. But, more importantly, it was Mother\Daughter bonding time!

That afternoon, my Aunt Pam came back and brought her mother in law, Blanche to see the boys. It was great to see Blanche. She's always a fun lady to catch up with. She is one of my few blog fans, so she watches the boys grow up through my posts. I know that she enjoys getting to spend some time with them in person. And, this was the first time she got to meet Cade. Since she had a fun necklace, they were fast friends.

It was a very nice change of pace to have some down time. The past several days were wearing on us all so catching up on a little R&R was rejuvenating. Just in time to ramp up the pace again the next day.
