Thanksgiving in Atlanta
We went to Dr. Tim's house for Thanksgiving dinner. While we played Catch Phrase, Gabi had fun taking the glasses off their teddy bears and putting them on. Gabi got tired, so we changed her into her pajamas before we left.

Hereford in November

The week before Thanksgiving, Gabi and Mommy went to visit Great-grandmother and Great-granddad in Hereford, TX. Gramma Jane came, too! We stopped by Gramma's brother Gerald's house in Amarillo, and we drove to Lubbock to see some of Great-grandmother's siblings.

Before we left town, we picked a stalk of cotton for Gabi to take to school as a show-and-tell. That was a big hit at class!
