GIVINGthanks

There are so many things to be Thankful for and we always love spending time with family, friends and EATING to celebrate our thankfulness!  This year I am especially thankful for the fact that I usually don't have to cook all the holiday meals!!  THANKFULLY, I had my own talking cookbook (Mom) and a cleanup crew (Dad) to get me through it!  (above:  Evan is helping me with the pie crusts)

One thing I love about Thanksgiving is that I get to spend time with my besties and their kiddos!  The boys (and lone girl -sweet Molly) had lots of fun hanging out together!

A backhoe, a hottub, a fire and acres of woods to explore - perfect playground!

Looks like Zac is doing some posing:)!  Kyler didn't get to join in on the pre-thanksgiving fun - he had a sleep over in Fayetteville, so he stayed with Kerry, partied with his friends, helped Kerry announce for the basketball games and "worked"with Kerry - then they joined us on Wednesday night.

 Evan riding the 4-wheeler in Sheridan.  Sadly, we didn't get much time to spend at Papaw's - the boys got a nasty virus that was hitting them hard! The rest of the week - fevers and symptoms kept going up! (except for Evan - I guess that booster shot he got is working!).  By Friday the 2 sickies and I had to head back up to the Hill - while Kerry and Evan spent time with MeMe. Not exactly how we had planned to spend the break - but at least we got some fun in on the front end of the trip!  We also missed Auntie M and Adam (and Avery!) - but probably best that they weren't exposed to our sickies!
