Gobble Gobble!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! My parents bid on a rental house in the mountains of Virginia for the long weekend (Tuesday-Saturday!) and it was the perfect spot for all of us.  My brother, his wife, and their two kids came up, and so did Eddie's sister, Carrie.  There was plenty of space for everyone and everything.  This house was ah-mazing!

My mom went into mega planning mode ahead of time and each night had a theme to it and she gave the kids a different gift each night.  My brother and his family will be in Savannah for Christmas this year, so I know she was trying to make it extra special for everyone.

The first night the theme was "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go."

Here is Cal's toy:

 And here is Jackson opening his:

The second night we were there, the theme was 'The Kids Were Nestled All Snug In Their Beds" and each kid got a sleeping bag with their name on it.  Cal LOVED his!  He immediately sat on it and was kissing it non-stop!

Friday night was puzzle night, but I didn't have my camera out for that one :(

We spent a TON of time out on the huge back deck, despite the freezing temps.  The sunsets were amazing each day!

And then, just some fun pictures from the trip

 Hats are needed when it's cold out!

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I hope you each ate way too much, watched some excellent college football, slept a lot, and took some time to reflect upon all of the things for which you are grateful.  I feel so blessed and beyond thankful.
