Took a road trip to Dallas last weekend and tried to squeeze in as much Avery/Kristi/Anthony time as possible! I think we wore sweet Avery out! Ashlie, Allie and Annie were exhausted too, but that didn't diminish their excitement when Kristi asked if they wanted to have a sleepover at her house Saturday night. It was wonderful to get to spend a little time ~ and talk about getting excited for Thanksgiving!
