Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, we went home to be with my family. We of course stopped at Brad's mom's house on the way there and stayed the night. That morning when we woke up we found out that my sister-in-law's grandmother passed away, so we stopped through and picked my nephew up on the way to my cousin's birthday party. Since we had to take him back home (he had school the next day), we stayed at Brad's grandmother's that night because we had planned on having lunch with her the next day anyway. We were able to play some games and enjoyed a wonderful evening and great food the next day!

Once we got home, we visited with Mammaw and then went to bingo with Mom (she loves bingo).

The next day I got my hair cut...no biggie...it just need a but really bad! Shortly after we got home, my brother and his family showed up...SURPRISE!!! We love to see them, but we weren't expecting them until the next day. I had a horrible headache that started the night before and had never really gone away (it lasted about a week!) so I was not very welcoming when they came in and woke me from my nap. Sorry, I was kind of rude guys!

That next morning we all got up and went to take family pictures (guess who had a cold sore!). They turned out really cute! My adorable little nephew is so cute!!! The lady was asking us how we wanted to do the group shots and if we wanted any of just Kaden. Before any of us had a chance to respond the very friendly 5 yr. old said, "that would be good for me." We of course all cracked up!

That night we had Thanksgiving with my dad's family. We enjoyed a wonderful meal and a few games. Once again, Kaden provided us with plenty of entertainment.

The next day I woke up and helped Mammaw (watched her mostly) prepare the traditional hot rolls and dressing! Mom cooked the turkey, ham and green bean casserole, Lochie (my cousin) brought some poppers, and we all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch. Lochie and Aunt Liz spent the afternoon there - unfortunately, I had another huge headache (or still the same one rather) and spent most of the afternoon asleep.

The next day, Mom, Brad, Willoughby (our adorable little dachshund), and I went to the SkyView (local drive-in) to watch Harry Potter! It was great of course!

After that, Brad and I began our journey home where we stopped off at his granddads! We were blessed to have such a wonderful Thanksgiving with family!
