Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we went to my parents' house. We were joined there by Ben's parents, my grandparents, my Aunt Judy, cousins Marcy and Kelly and Marcy's daughters, Jada and Jennesa. It was a lot of fun! Aunt Judy and Kelly had not seen the girls in over a year, so they enjoyed seeing how much they've grown and how they've turned into little people and aren't newborns like the last time they saw them. There were also 4 dogs in the house, so that's always interesting!

The food was great! We had all the traditional Thanksgiving fare, including a turkey that my mom baked. It wasn't the fried turkey we normally get in Tennessee, but it was good. The girls seemed to enjoy their first Thanksgiving dinner.

Ben, the girls and I spent Thursday night at my parents' house and came home Friday. We had a nice little visit out there. And, thankfully, didn't get snowed in! We did have some flurries Friday morning, but that was it.

And now for the pictures...

After everyone else had left the girls were playing around my parents' house. Paige discovered Jaxson's crate and the girls had a great time climbing in and out of it. Here's Paige in Jaxson's crate.

We were going to go to a Children's Museum on Friday, but we went out to lunch and realized we didn't have time to go to the museum after that, so we came home instead. We'll be sure to get to that museum sometime, though. It looks like a lot of fun!
