We made it back from Raleigh tonight after a few days spent with family! Unfortunately, Grandpa got the stomach bug on Tuesday and didn't feel well enough to make the trip this year. Sad to miss him!
Wednesday we started the drive around 1pm. We took back roads up to I40 this year and it ended up being a beautiful drive. We arrived in Raleigh and stopped at Bass Pro Shop as we tend to always do and then grabbed dinner at a new chicken and waffles place right next door that was really good! We finally made it to the hotel where Gigi and Granny, Shannon and JG and, of course, Bo and Jack were and the none of us missed a beat catching up and having fun!

Sleep is always rough the first night, but we manage and wake up to lots of coffee(for me!) and a huge breakfast(for M!)! Then, finally, it's off to Chaney's house to see the rest of the family! Oh how I LOVE Thanksgiving and being with family! We stuff our bellies, played lots of fun games(thanks to Jason Hicks!) and then relaxed by the fire while the kids were, well honestly we were never sure exactly where the kids were HA! We went to bed excited to do it all over again on Friday!

Friday I think is the kids' favorite day when we get to go out to the fish camp! We eat, fish, play games, sit around the fire pit and the boys play football! What a great, great, great time!!! Our crew left around 4pm to start the drive back home. We stopped for dinner at The Palms restaurant that Grandpa introduced us to a couple years ago and sent him a picture and wished him well! We got home and couldn't get in our beds fast enough!!
