With a Gobble Gobble Gobble

 And a wobble, wobble, wobble... *excerpt from one of the girls favorite Thanksgiving songs this year.  Ask them to sing it - they are not shy.  :)

We had a great Thanksgiving with our families this year.  In the spirit of the holiday, we are so thankful that both sides of our family are close enough that we can visit everyone!  We started out in Huntsville with a turkey dinner at Aunt Wissa & Uncle Scott's house.  Everything was delish (beautiful turkey, Wissa!) and we had fun laughing & hanging out with everyone.  The only hiccup was when Tyler locked the keys in the van.  On Thanksgiving Day.  Oops.  Thankfully, Papa had a friend who was a locksmith who graciously came over and helped us out!  It also gave the girls some time to run around outside, shoot some hoops & play with a cool light-up football.  :) 
Ready for turkey!
Burning off the after dinner calories.  :)


Big fans of these glasses.  They made the football glow!

Take me to your leader





































Then it was off to Franklin for more fun!  We had a great time visiting with Mimi, Grandbob, Gabby, Uncle P & Mallory.   There was lots of reading, being thrown up in the air (the girls, not us!), laughing and all around good times.  Then, we all got to go see Shrek - carved entirely out of ice.  It was pretty cool (pun totally intended).  There was even an ice slide - and I don't know who enjoyed it most - the grown-ups or the kids!  We made it over to Opryland Hotel to look at the lights for a few minutes before the girls decided they were hungry & commenced meltdown - so we hit the road and enjoyed a delightful Mexican dinner.  Ole!

My kids have mad Where's Waldo skills.  Just like Uncle P.

Storytime with Gabby

A wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of great memories!

Love that last picture of the naps in the car...so cute! You do realize we've already had Christmas and New Years, right?! You've got a lot of catching up to do! :)
