Thanksgiving 2014

We had such a great Thanksgiving and got to spend some time with a lot of family! We started off the trip to College Station with a little Santa's Wonderland!

Looking like such a big girl next to sweet Parker!

Checking out the lights with Poppy and Daddy!

Hanging out with Mommy on the train!

 Sisters and our firsts! This is Jordan's new "smile"

                                 

Showing Gamma how it's done!

                                   

Trying to capture these 4 blue eyed babies on Thanksgiving!

Where's Poppy?

Seesters and our littles...and Barrett's cookie of course! 

I am so happy that Aggie Football is back on Thanksgiving Day. We all bundled up and took Jordan to her first Aggie football experience! Jordan sitting with her Poppy just like we used to sit with our Paw Paw in these same seats! Love this! :)

Selfies aren't his favorite, but he humored me!

Alli, however, LOVES a good selfie.

This girl and her hat!

I may have shoved Jordan out of this picture! Note her pink hat just outside of our sister selfie!

Why do Mommy and Aunt Alli take so many pictures and keep asking me to smile?

Playing with Aunt Alli!

Kyle may disagree, but we don't get pictures of just the 3 of us very often!

I'm totally stealing this from Alli's blog, but she made me cry so going to include it here so I'll always have it! With only 4 tickets, we don't normally all 5 make it to the football games so it was special to have all of us there in the seats my family has had since before I was born. I made fun of Alli for being so emotional, but walking to these same seats every game since I can remember is part of our little family Aggie Tradition. We even have our "spot" where we all go to get up during halftime and not watch the Aggie Band. (Yes, that makes us bad Aggies!) 

My grandpa used to sit on the seat on the aisle. Same seat every game. And when we rounded the corner to walk up the stairs to get to our seats, his face would light up. He never knew exactly who was coming to the game each week, but he loved spending time with us there. My grandpa has been gone for a while now, but the memory of him and those seats will always be there.

Very few of the memories here have anything to do with actual football. Clearly. Just family memories. Now Kyle Field is going through a (much needed) renovation. Next year our seats are going to be gone. Next year our seats are going to be new, and exciting, and the place where our kids will make memories going to games with their grandparents. But this is the last time that I will sit in these exact seats. And I love that all 5 of were there for the last game of the season. So we may have gotten a little picture happy.

Ok - Isn't this blog supposed to be about Jordan! Back to this girl:

Nani, Aunt Lissa, Terry, Maddie and KK came to visit us at home on Friday to spend some of the weekend and go to Daddy's game with us. We had fun at the park and went to visit the giant Christmas Tree at Market Street taking some pictures along the way!

I was trying to tickle her to get her to smile for the group picture, but this is what we got instead. Oh, how I love this girl!

Playing with Mommy during Daddy's game! And hiding a mexican food stained shirt with Nani's scarf! She didn't want us to take it off. 

 I didn't have the car mirror up on the way home since Jordan was watching a movie. So at stop lights I would put my camera on to face forward and point it back there to see how she was doing....this is the face I captured! She clearly, was doing great!

Happy Thanksgiving, my little turkey. Your daddy and I are so thankful for the beautiful, sweet, and smart girl with a big personality God has given us. Your giggles, big toothy smiles, hugs and kisses make us thankful every day to be your parents.
