Weatherford Thanksgiving

We finally were able to make the Weatherford Thanksgiving...I think it's been like 5 years since we've made it because Dustin and I had not been dating for too long when he first made the trip to Missouri. My aunt and uncle now live outside of Lake of the Ozarks and have a beautiful "rock ranch", as they call it, out it the sticks, literally. It took about 15 minutes of dirt and gravel roads to get there. It is absolutely beautiful though! It was great to see everyone, but its also kind of depressing to realize how little I know about all of their lives. I'm one of the youngest cousins out of 10 of us, and when you add all of the husbands, wives, and multiple children, it's hard to remember who belongs to who! My grandma's brother's family was there, so that includes all of my dad's cousins, their kids, and their husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends, etc. It was a packed house of 40+.

These are the only pics I got of the weekend. I so wish I would've sucked it up and taken more. I'm not much of a picture taker, especially in front of people I a) can't remember and b) haven't seen in a long while. I hate being THAT person who always whips out the camera, but looking back on it now, I wish I hadn't cared so much. I got a couple of pics of my grandma and me at our wedding, but would like to have another. She's turning 85 years young in May, so we hope to make her birthday bash and get a picture then! 

Oh you know I got a picture of the dog. His name is Rufus and we are best buds. He likes the words squirrel and raccoon and he loves, loves, loves to have his ears rubbed and give kisses!

He was very widdle at the end of the day.

Up next....our two family Thanksgivings! We're headed to the Fort Wednesday and then over to Mom and Johnny's at the lake on Friday! Can't wait to have a relaxing weekend with family and spend time with the nieces and nephews. I bet Emilee has grown so much since we've seen her!
