So, I am running behind...again!!!

I don't really know what has gotten into me lately, but I keep getting behind on this blogging thing. In real estate, the main thing you learn is that time is of the essence - I guess that rule should apply to blogging too when you are posting about Thanksgiving 2 weeks late! I promise to try to do better now that we are getting back to normal after Caroline and I have had that terrible stomach virus that was/is going around.

I was happy to read how great every one's Thanksgiving went. It sounds like all of you had a wonderful day filled with family, friends, food, and football!! We had a little something extra to be thankful for - Jamey was actually home this year for Thanksgiving. This is the first time he has been home on Thanksgiving day since we started dating 7 years, but 8 Thanksgivings, ago.

Kristen Sue and Josh switch out Thanksgiving and Christmas with our family and Josh's family each year. This year we got them for Thanksgiving (which was great, but means we don't get to see them during Christmas). We ate a huge, delicious lunch at Mother and Daddy's and then spent the rest of the afternoon doing what we always do...hanging out on the deck watching all the kids play.

Jamey, Caroline, and I left there late afternoon and headed over to Jamey's mom's house to enjoy a big ol' pot of soup with cornbread and biscuits on the side!!! Can you think of anything better on Thanksgiving night?!?! It was yummy and we enjoyed visiting with all of them and watching a little football.

The Sunday after Thanksgiving, we partied in honor of Riley Grace and Maggie Ruth's birthdays. MR turns 2 today and RG will turn 9 on January 8. With the holidays approaching and little brother Jack due January 21, Kristen and Russell decided to celebrate these two girls on a day where no one would be side tracked with the busyness Christmas brings OR a new baby brother (anxious to see how Rudy is going to handle that one!!!) It was lots of fun and the girls seemed to enjoy celebrating together. Read more about it on Kristen's blog. Here are a few photos from the afternoon outside Thanksgiving Day (I don't know where the older boys were) and I promise not to be too long getting to my next post. I am going to try ONE MORE TIME tomorrow to get a picture of Caroline for our Christmas card and a few of our tree to share with y'all...I had a decorator this year!!!!!!!!!
