Thankful

This is the 3rd Thanksgiving with Walker and William. Every year gets better and better and more fun. We had a great Holiday, spent with each other and family. Walker and William have such great older Cousins who love them and who love to spend time with them and play. All of their older Cousins are so patient with them. I love that they all have each other and the older they get, the more their relationships will grow. Matt and I both had off Wednesday - Friday. Wednesday was spent cleaning, doing a bit of cooking and decorating for Christmas. Yes, we decorated for Christmas before Thanksgiving was over. However, we were not going to be home the night after Thanksgiving (when we usually put the tree up), so we put it up just a tad earlier. And let me tell you what ... The Boys LOOOOVE the Christmas tree! They love staring at it and pointing at the lights. So far, we are doing pretty good with not touching the ornaments too much (let's hope it stays that way).

On Thanksgiving morning, we headed to Georgetown to see the Shrode family. Unfortunately, Papa ended up getting really sick so we ended up missing Nana and Papa this Thanksgiving, but we were grateful to see the rest of the family. We pretty much only see that side of the family on Thanksgiving, so it's always nice to catch up with everybody. The boys played with their cousins Lynleigh and Logan and had a BLAST with them! After we were all pretty much in a food coma after lunch, I was thankful Lynleigh and Logan were keeping Walker and William entertained for us, while we rested on the couch for a bit.

 

William ate pretzels for Thanksgiving.

... And yogurt!



 

 

 

 

A little later we all went on a little walk (needed to walk off some of the food). William and Walker liked Walking little Shaylie in the stroller.

And you know, you can't really have an American Thanksgiving without playing a little football outside.

I tried to take the opportunity to take pictures of us all together and hoped to get a cute picture of the two of them together.

This is our "picture perfect" family ...

I wouldn't have it any other way!

 

Actually, those pictures of Walker and William together could have turned out pretty cute, if Walker didn't have that stinkin' frisbee in his hands. Oh well!

 

 

After all the fun at Great Grandma Shrode's house, we headed to Nonie and Pawpaw's to spend a few days with them!

 

 

The ride to Nonie and Pawpaw's ... Not even 5 minutes of pulling out the driveway

 

 

 

We spent the next few days, just hanging out and spending time with my side of the family. It was such a great Thanksgiving!

 

 

When we first arrived at my Mom and Dad's, Stephen helped get the Boys out the car and led them inside. So cute!

We hope you all had a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!
