Georgia's First Stock Show & Thanksgiving

On Tuesday night of Thanksgiving week we had my sister, Judith, her husband, Chris, and their twin boys, for the night. This was the first time for them to meet Georgia. It was great to see them and the boys helped me determine how much my house was not "baby proofed". Good practice for later with Georgia.

We spent Thanksgiving Day here at home. The meal was served at Jacob's parents. There were around 27 people there! There was SO MUCH FOOD!

After lunch Georgia got to spend time with cousin Sam (Jacob's cousin Amy's baby). Sam is just about a month older than Georgia. We propped them up on the couch and they looked like little grown-ups. At one point Sam put his hand up on Georgia's shoulder - it was too cute!

We also watched the TAMU vs. t.u. game that night. I dressed Georgia up in her Aggie gear to help cheer our Aggies on. They did better than I thought they would and I think it was all due to Georgia's support. Ha!

We spent the weekend in Waco at the Fall Classic Show. It was Georgia's first official stock show and she handled it pretty well. We spent a few hours watching the baby prospect show and TCCA showmanship. My sister, Jennifer, was there with her family so Laurel came to hang out with us for a few hours. She did get to hold Georgia and she kept telling me that Georgia had grown so much since she had seen her and that she was so chubby! It was so funny and I always enjoy getting an earful of what she has to say.

I was so proud of my two neices and nephew. Emily June had Champion Limi in both rings, along with 3rd Overall Grand Steer in Ring A and 5th Overall in Ring B. John Thomas had Reserve Hereford in both rings and Laurel had Champion Simmental in Ring A and Reserve in Ring B (I think I got this all right). What an awesome day! I was also proud of all of those exhibitors we had there showing our cattle. They all worked really hard and I know it was hard to stay positive on such a yucky, windy day!!! We are so fortunate to have such awesome clients and we cherish the friendships we have made with them.

I have a few more pictures, but I am having the typical problems uploading them so hopefully I'll get them up later today!
