Rewind...Giving Thanks!

This year we get to add a big one to the list of all the wonderful things we are thankful for...the upcoming arrival of Itsy Bitsy Parker!  We are also so thankful that my pregnancy has been such a great one, and now we are on the home stretch (7 weeks to go)!

We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, but was in usual Team Parker style, going here, there and everywhere.  We spent Thanksgiving day in Brenham at my parent's house joined by my brother, grandmother, the Parker's, and Aunt LaVerna.  Lunch was scrumptious as usual--duck breast accompanied by the Parker Italian tradition--homemade ravioli!

After lunch, JP and I headed to College Station for a little bit of tailgating and the big game between Texas and Texas A&M.  And, wow, was it an exciting one.  Leave it to the Ags to put up a good fight...heck, they killed us (Tech) earlier in the season, so I wasn't too surprised, given the fact that they pretty much always have a good showing on their home turf against the Longhorns.  I'm glad Texas pulled it out though, since now that I write this a bit late, we know they are now headed to the National Championship in Pasadena on January 7.

We headed back to Austin on Friday to prepare for Laci and Jefferey's Stock the Bar party on Saturday evening.  It was a great party and we sure enjoyed celebrating their upcoming wedding on January 2nd with everyone!

That left Sunday to rest up and begin decorating for Christmas...I love this time of year and am so thankful for all that we have. Boy will next year be different...
