Thanksgiving treats and Landry got to have her first bites of yummy holiday food. 
What a day. We all drove to Austin with Matthew's Aunt, Clairlene, and Paw Paw and B (Richard and Virginia), the girls, M, and myself. The car ride was actually a really good time and memorable.
As we were in Austin, Matthew and I were outside discussing a car situation we had the day before. Well, I'd had a flat tire on my way to Llano from Austin and was going back into work on Friday. Thus, we had to figure out a way to get it fixed before heading back to SA. As we all know, life has a way of presenting situations that test us at inopportune times.
To get to the point, we were outside discussing this hectic situation and both had moodiness stirring. Suddenly a lot of leaves from the trees started scattering colorfully from the trees. It was beautiful! I said without thinking " I wonder if this is the front we are expecting" and with in the sentence we felt the cold chill of the winter air drop ten degrees. It was with in these seconds amazing and one of those moments one doesn't forget. We kind of forgot the situation at hand and I grabbed Matthew happily and blurted out laughing "we had a moment! It's Thanksgiving and we were given a moment!"
I think, next to my family of course, it's lifes small gifts we get throughout the days we live that I'm most thankful for. The tiny things that we need in this life and God allows us to have. These constant reminders that life is truly beautiful and little slots of time we experience from moment to moment so that we can exist in the real world.
And Thanksgiving Day my girls were playful and energetic. The entertainment of the day seemed to be Landry attacking and tickling Laney. Pictures can't hardly capture it all but I did my best.
