Thanksgiving 2010

Happy Thanksgiving!!

On Wednesday we made the almost 8 hour drive to New Bern, NC. Whew!! I will say that S did AWESOME in the car on the way there and we didn't even have to pull out the DVD player because she entertained herself so well! I was so proud of her!! C did okay, and really I couldn't have expected any better out of a 4 month old.

We rented our own house this year and it was fabulous! My parents met us at the house on Wednesday night with dinner and some baby supplies in tow. What a huge help!!


Thursday we went for a walk in the morning and did some letterboxing in the historic downtown district. It was a great way to start the day!

We then headed to Papa's house to meet up with everyone for lunch! WOW! SO MANY KIDS this year and the weather was beautiful so they were able to run around outside. And boy did they run! S has a tendency to run and run and run but also tends to run away. We had to keep a constant eye on her or she would disappear down the street. Good grief! The food was amazing, as always, and we all ate way too much. M and I weighed ourselves before we ate lunch and by the end of the day he was 7 lbs heavier and I was 4 lbs heavier. Think we enjoyed ourselves!?!?:)

On Friday, the guys always go play golf. After a quick visit from Grandpa before he left town, the kids and I headed downtown to meet up with the cousins and go see Santa. We had fun until it looked as though a tornado were going to touch down - seriously scary looking sky. We ran for the cars and found our way back to Papa's to eat yet some more:)

After a good nap for both of the kids back at our rented house (unfortunately C was sleeping in my arms so I didn't get to take one), we went back to meet up with the whole crew again for the annual Turkey Shoot Out awards.

The drive home did not go nearly as well and both kids came home with colds. A very whiny/fussy ride. All of us were glad to pull into the driveway and get out of the car!!

C did not sleep well at all while we were there(surprise, surprise) so we were pretty much sleep deprived the entire trip. But, aside from that, we had an awesome time with the family!
