well, that was a fun thanksgiving

this year marked the first annual thanksgiving in the new house. my parents, brother and sister made the trip down from maryland and we made a full weekend out of it. while thanksgiving dinner was the highlight (in part thanks to nick's smoked turkeys), we also kept busy with a trip to san antonio to see the alamo, stuffing ourselves silly at the salt lick, a downtown austin biking margarita crawl, stuffing ourselves silly at el chile and again at tacodeli. it was the first time my entire family has been down to austin all together and it was really, really fun. i'm already looking forward to next thanksgiving!

ps. i was a bad blogger and didn't take any photos...i *must* get better at that!
pps. happy birthday to my sister, laura!
