This Thanksgiving we went to my aunt's home in western North Carolina. I meant to take a picture of everyone at the table, but this is the only one I got of our time together at dinner. Beckett and his turkey leg......
My mom's birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year, so later that night we had birthday cake! Here is a fun picture of her blowing out the candles!
I thought this one was sweet. Helen was explaining the pictures on her home-made birthday card for Grankaki!
Grankaki with her grandchildren!
Beckett and Helen had fun with my sister.(Aunt Susi) They don't get to see her very often, but always have so much fun when they do get to hang out with her!
Susi has a cool I-phone with lots of fun games. Here is a picture of Will watching Beckett play a game on her phone! Sweet!
Helen had my camera for a while and took all kinds of interesting pictures. I actually liked this one of Will because you can see the windows that are just his size and the beautiful view of the mountains from my aunt's living room! (Not to mention the adorable little boy!)
My uncle was able to join us for Thanksgiving for the first time in a LONG time. In fact, he had never even met Helen and Will. It had been 7 years since we had seen him. Hopefully it won't be that long until our next visit! Here is a great picture of my mom with her sister and brother! I love this picture!
My three kiddos joined them for a group picture! Love that my uncle is playing Beckett's game of giving bunny ears! Boys will be boys!
We returned home on Friday evening. On Saturday, Sean and Beckett went to the UT/Kentucky football game, so Helen, Will and I got out the Christmas decorations, turned on the Christmas music and started decorating! Here is a picture of Will enjoying the Mickey Mouse ice skating rink that Marilyn gave them. He and Helen pull up a chair and just sit there and watch the characters "skate" all around the pond!
On Sunday afternoon, we attended our hometown Christmas parade. Helen was all smiles as she filled up her Santa hat with candy!
Helen and Will holding hands and watching the parade go by.
I would be re-miss if I didn't share a few of the interesting parade participants. They never cease to amaze me! This guy was riding down Broadway in a recliner! He had his remote control and everything!
The kids really liked this giant shopping cart!
Last but not least, the big guy himself! Santa Claus!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends and that you are anticipating the coming Christmas season with joy in your hearts!
