We Are Thankful

I really enjoy the new Thanksgiving tradition that we have started in the past few years.  Instead of getting the whole family together on Thanksgiving day, we have our Thanksgiving meal the weekend after.  Granted, we have to wait for pumpkin pie but it gives everyone a little more time for traveling and visiting.

On Thanksgiving Day, we had a very laid back day.  We put up the Christmas tree (but didn't decorate) while Avery was taking her morning nap.  We watched a little of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and chowed down on turkey, green bean casserole and wild rice that Adam cooked.

All that turkey wore these two out! :)

We headed to Arkadelphia on Friday.  It was a long drive, but Avery did great.  Adam kept her occupied and we only had to pull over once because she opened up a package of tissues and got them all in her mouth :)  We spent the night in Arkadelphia on Friday, ate lunch on Saturday and then headed back up North.  Melissa wasn't feeling great, so we switched up the car situation so she didn't have to drive all the way home.  Melissa & Jayden rode with me, Adam drove Kerry's truck and Kerry drove Kyler and Evan in Melissa's car.  It was a long drive for all on full bellies!  Jayden did a great job of keeping Avery occupied.  They spent quite a bit of time making funny noises at each other.
