The Hill Family: Thanksgiving, the big move, and visitors!

Well, I am finally catching up on the blog. We had a crazy Thanksgiving weekend, moving into our new house and bringing loads of furniture down from Austin. We were able to have Thanksgiving lunch with my family at the Marietta's house, which I was grateful for. I wasn't sure how I could go on without some turkey and dressing. :) After that little break, we spent the rest of the weekend moving everything and by Sunday had everything in the house at least. This past week we were unpacking and organizing...that process is still happening though. It is crazy how moving throws me off my schedule too. I keep thinking I am forgetting something when I go to sleep at night. Hopefully after a few weeks things will settle down more.

Grandmommie and Gerald came to town this past weekend too! We all had a blast playing and showing them our new home, but I think the kids were the most excited. Jackson loves to show everyone his new room and train set. And Grandmommie brought his bike down from Midland, so that is the only thing on his mind these days! It was very cold all weekend too, but no snow here. Too bad because I actually do have some snow boots that could stand to be put to use. We got the Christmas tree and stockings up as well, so the house is at least looking festive while we are putting everything else together.

So, now we will have our first Christmas in a new house which is the best gift I could have received. It is crazy how fast things can change. Charlotte decided to start crawling the day we moved in, so she is all over the place of course. It is funny how Jackson still sets up his toys to play right next to me, even with more rooms to play in and Charlotte peaces out all over the place to explore. You can tell that he spent the first few years in a small apartment where I was right there and she is more interested in what she can find without me around! :) It is going to be interesting to see how the next few months go as we get used to so many changes. But this is the best time of year for it.

Chickens are that way!
