Thanksgiving 2009

For Thanksgiving this year we got to go see Matt's parents in Snyder, TX. We flew out there and this was Emerson's first time to be on an airplane. She did great and she loved it. Brent and Julie flew out too and Papaw and Charlotte came over from Eastland. We flew into Midland so we got a chance to see Matt's other set of grandparents and some of that family was able to come for Thanksgiving dinner also.
It had been since last Christmas since Emerson had seen Pappaw, Mimi, Uncle Brent and Tia Julie. Thank goodness for web cams and that we had been using them because she didn't miss a beat and started playing with them immediately! Speaking of Pappaw, his name seems to have morphed. When we left it had turned into Bappop so who knows what he will really be called!

While we were there we got to see some brand new goats. These two little ones were two days old! They were so cute!

Gotta love that smile! That's about as good as your gonna get!

Matt's attempt to get a picture of Emerson with the windmill. He really wanted her to put her hands up where it looked like she was holding a pinwheel. As you can see, she wanted none of it!

These wind farms are everywhere and they are so neat to watch.

Mimi's "funny tree". Emerson had to go and see it a lot. She thought it was so cute!

The beautiful scenery while we traveled. Needless to say, I was quite excited to see trees when we got back home!
