Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving was a great time with family. So great in fact that I didn't really get a lot of pictures.

We started our trip with a day in my hometown going out to lunch and spending the day with Grandma and Uncle Cory. Then, we went out to dinner with Papa. Papa even babysat for Abby when she went to bed so Joe and I could meet up with some old friends.

A couple of Abby's favorite things at my dad's house are blowing bubbles with Papa and Uncle Cory's room. She goes up and sits with Cory while he plays video games and asks him to play quad racing videos for her. Seriously?! She started doing this completely unprompted and made her uncle the happiest guy ever...especially since he is convinced she will be a professional quad rider when she grows up. We'll see about that one.

Joe disappeared within minutes of our arrival at Grammy and G-Diddy's house for Thanksgiving. This guy didn't even need to have stomach full of turkey before he found a place to take a good Thanksgiving nap.

On the other hand, Abby ran off to play some chess and hang out with Greeley.


Uncle Cory found her and hand delivered her back to us in a basket.

One of my favorite parts of the day was when all the guys went outside to play some football. Abby wasn't going to be left out. Uncle Bradley even brought out a special football just for her. It really was one of the sweetest sights. Abby running around and playing football with all the special men in her life: Daddy, Uncle Bradley, Uncle Tommy, Uncle Cory, Papa and G-Diddy. It's not everyday a little girl gets to make memories with all of her uncles and grandfathers at the same time.




As always, dinner was a delicious feast! Abby's place setting made me smile. I loved her mini fancy silver fork.

Some of Abby's other favorite things at Grammy and G-Diddy's are:

her basket of blocks

playing her Daddy's organ

playing with Grammy's old Ginny dolls
(She even got G-Diddy and Aunt Cyncy up there!)


reading stories and hanging out with her uncles

Abby also loves helping Grammy unload the dishwasher and getting cups of ice from the freezer!
