Thanksgiving

We started Thanksgiving morning by going over to Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Russ's house to see everyone. It worked better for us to come over and visit in the morning rather than the afternoon. We switch off each year with which family we eat the meal with and which family we do dessert with, but this year Tom and Audrey were in Charlotte having Thanksgiving with Tom's family and everyone was going to be leaving before we could get back over for dessert, so we just went to see everyone in the morning. The weather was great so the kids actually got to play outside and we took their bike and big wheel so that they could ride those since they had a driveway.

Maddie, Davis, and Faith Ashley hiding behind the chair for some reason. Faith Ashley had dressed up like an Indian in a headress and shirt that she had made at school.
Davis hanging out with Uncle Jon.

Aunt Lori helped Maddie and Faith Ashley make pilgrim hat cookies. Maddie had a lot of fun doing this with Faith and Aunt Lori and talked about it for weeks afterward.

They used fudge stripe cookies turned upside down, yellow icing and then put a Reese cup upside down in the yellow icing and added a tic tac for the buckle. They were yummy!

Davis in his helmet. It is a little big, but when he sees Maddie wearing hers he wants his on, too.

Baby Kallie with Grandpa Russ. Nice cheeks, Kallie!

After we left the Davis house we went over to my Aunt Tiger and Uncle Bob's house in Holly Springs for Thanksgiving dinner. Davis fell asleep on the way over there. So,

he slept through the meal on Tiger and Bob's bed. We just fed him after he woke up. Maddie ate with us and then she and Jessi went up and took a nap.

We are usually pretty bad about taking pictures of the kids with Mimi and Poppa, so I made a point to get a picture this time.

Cousin Jessi, Uncle Bob, Aunt Tiger, and Cousin Robbie.

They are so good with the kids and we love going over to visit them and their dog Sammy.

And of course we had to get a picture of our family.
