Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! We went to Birmingham for Thanksgiving as always. The car was very full on the way there and back as it contained Mommy, Daddy, Joshua, Noah, and our dogs Hardy and Ridley. We made our rounds and got to see everyone and eat lots of yummy food. Mommy made pumpkin bread and pumpkin pie. We stayed at Granddaddy's house and watched some of the Macy's Day parade. Joshua really enjoyed the music and the dancing. Then we went to Maw-Maw's house (Emily's grandma) in Oneonta for Thanksgiving lunch with mommy's side of the family. Next we went to Aunt Dana's house in Helena for Thanksgiving dinner. The boys enjoyed playing with their many cousins and getting extra loving from extended family. Mommy especially enjoyed dressing up my little turkeys in their Thanksgiving clothes which were gifts from Grandma & Grandpa.

That night, mommy went out to Best Buy and Old Navy for shop midnight Black Friday shopping with Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Chad. We had a blast hanging out together and joining in on the madness. And we were able to get everything we came for. Later on Friday we went back to Aunt Dana's house to celebrate Thanksgiving with Granddaddy. We had chili and pumpkin soup, the latter of which was Noah's favorite. Afterwards we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a Thanksgiving dinner. Noah ate everything! I had told Joshua he had to put at least two things on his plate so he opted for ham and turkey and a roll - all of which he ate. It was a long, but fun Friday.

On Saturday we went to Uncle Jason's house to watch the Iron Bowl. Alabama beat Auburn 42 to 14. Roll Tide! The boys enjoyed wearing their Bama gear and visiting with their cousins. We started our trek home early on Sunday so we could arrive in time to start decorating our Christmas tree. I'll detail our decorating adventures in the next post. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and Roll Tide!

Joshua says "Touchdown!"

One last Thanksgiving note, when I went to pick up Joshua from school I saw in his folder where he was asked what he was thankful for and his response was: I am thankful for my Mommy and Daddy. What a sweet boy! We are sooo thankful for you too! And for your sweet brother!
