We originally planned on staying in Denver for Thanksgiving. When Matt & Erin invited us to Texas, and the flight down there wasn’t expensive, we decided to go for it! We had a lovely time, and we had a wonderful meal, almost exclusively prepared by Matt. Along with Matt & Erin, we got to spend time with our niece Evie and Erin’s brother Zach.

On Saturday night, we went to a fun Christmas concert at the Fort Worth Symphony.
