We had a great Thanksgiving. We drove down to Florida on Tuesday and missed all the holiday traffic- we made the 480 mile trip with one 25 minute stop- not bad! Wednesday morning Papa took K out for a big boy breakfast- K was a little nervous before he left but was quite excited when he came back. He even brought back some of his pancake face to share with C who got his own special trip to Papa. He went to mail something to Daddy and to the fire station. They came home with fire hats for everyone- what a good morning! My parents dug out some of my old books and Fisher Price toys which the boys had a blast playing with while we were there.
On Thursday, we played in Bibb Park for a while and then went to Enid & Kevin's house for dinner. I babysat her three girls when we were growing up- lots of cooking, driving, & cleaning lessons- it was fun to get together & lots of yummy food! The boys were wonderfully quiet at first until Enid helped them feel so comfortable that they started growling loudly. Nancie's sweet baby girl turns 1 in January on C's 3rd birthday. Here's several turkeys- Dad's carving one and the boys coloring them.
Friday we went to the science museum and lunch in Tallahassee. We all enjoyed the museum- the pulleys were more fun once we figured out to put K on the one that did most of the work! We continued both Friday night pizza night & day after Thanksgiving tradition with Friday night dinner of turkey sandwiches & turkey pizza. We did do some after Thanksgiving shopping on Saturday- my kind of shopping- about 10 minutes in 1 store! After a trip to the library, we went to Becky & David's for lunch. K & C weren't sure what to think about Shep (their dog) but T liked him a lot and Shep put up with him. The boys loved the apple dumpling, ice cream, and big journey to see George the Turtle's holes. That night we went to Wild Adventures' Festival of Lights which was great (except for the rain!) K said his favorite was the Living Nativity- complete with camels, sheep, donkey, wisemen, shepherds, Mary, Joseph, & Baby Jesus. The lights & music were very pretty too!Sunday morning the boys wore their new Christmas sweaters to church. They weren't sure about sitting still during the talking but they loved the music. It was great to see everyone there. We had a rainy afternoon but it cleared up long enough to walk Nana up to a "meeting"- an open house for the Madison pregnancy center where Mom talked to the Executive Director about vasa previa. I was glad that the Director wanted to learn about this condition and took some IVPF brochures to help spread the word because "it only takes a moment to diagnose life..."
We missed the holiday traffic again by driving back Monday- an all around good visit!
