Thanksgiving in Denton

This year for Thanksgiving because I couldn't be home with my family I wanted to go see my Denton family so Alex and I made the treck across Texas to be there for the weekend and spend the holiday at the Batchelder's (my old boss, his wife (and my friend) Jenn and kids). I left NM on Tuesday afternoon and arrived mid evening that day and Alex flew in on Wednesday because he had to stay for work related business.

It was so great to see everyone! I got to attend a couple Mean Green basketball games and see people I worked with and hung out as well as some of my favorite donors and other friends. We had drinks with some staff of Wednesday night after the women's game and it was really nice to catch up with Mandy, Sarah, etc. On Thursday we spent the day hanging out and obviously eating. We also took some pictures. I told Jenn I would take their family pictures and the weather was so nice so we let the turkey cook and went a park. It was fun!

On Friday morning Jenn and I got up at 3:45 am and went out with all the crazies to do some shopping. It was definitely an experience but I did get a lot done and got some great deal! Pretty much done shopping except for 1 person and few odds and ends. Yay me!

Here are some pictures from the weekend along with some of the pictures I took.
