Since I moved to Texas the week after I got married (which will be 20 years in June) we have spent most holidays on the road between Minnesota and central Texas. We don't usually spend Thanksgiving in MN as we don't have much time off from school and I need about 2 weeks, or at least 10 days, to make the drive there and back..recovering in between. Every other year is spent at Mark's moms and so we either get invited to a friends' home or drive to Tulsa to spend a few days with Mark's sister. The last two years have been crazy...my mom was diagnosed in Nov of 08 so we jumped in the car to spend Thanksgiving in MN that year...last year she passed away in Nov and we got home just in time to head to Central TX for Thanksgiving at Mark's moms. This year Mark and I decided to stay home and attempt our own Thanksgiving feast. One of my favorite memories growing up was the preperation that went into the holidays. I made a late breakfast of Monkey Bread and bacon. I SO enjoyed getting ready for this day and it was so relaxing to just hang out at home. Food, football and friends....aahhh, it was heavenly...

Glad that your Thanksgiving was full of time spent with friends. Our family was the only 'southern transplant' as I grew up and it was the friends we celebrated every year that made the holiday special.
And I know you know this, but Hudson's smile is precious. And you know, I think he looks just like his dad...
Friday late afternoon would work for us. We are going to Canton in the morning. Can you email me a phone # for you @ rachschw@ptd.net
