Thanksgiving Time

Well, it is hard to believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone. I am still amazed that Christmas is only about 3 weeks away. We had a great Thanksgiving and were very fortunate to have great friends to share it with. Our friends Jennifer and Erik from Iowa came over along with our friend Mike from Toledo. Erik, Mike and Patrick all did a residency together at Texas Tech so it was fun having everyone together again. I would have to say that overall we had too much food and a lot of fun.
We managed to get out a few times and show everyone some of the local attractions of the area. The following pictures are of our trip to Brandywine falls.Patrick and Isaac in front of the falls.

And we even managed to catch a shot of Sydney running around. And "Yes" that is Jordan in the background showing off her funky moves!



And the above picture is one of our "Thankful Turkey." We put a turkey body on the window at the beginning of the month and everyday we added a feather. And on the feather we put something we were thankful for. Everyone had a different color and turned out to be a really fun thing to do with the kids. It was fun to see what the kids were thankful for. And also what they thought Sydney was thankful for. The only change I will make for next year is that I will start at the bottom of the door. Towards the end of the month we had to bend over to see who was at the front door.



And here is a closer look at the turkey. Overall everyone really liked the "Thankful Turkey" idea and I think it may become a new tradition for the Gallegos Family.

And to finish this post there is a short video of the Brandywine Falls. Enjoy!!!

We hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving. Love Ya and God Bless, Tara G.
