Happy Thanksgiving!

We headed up last Thursday to North GA to celebrate Thanksgiving with Gingy and Poppop! We had a nice time visiting with them and Craig's brother, Uncle Ryan and his girlfriend Stephanie! Uncle Ryan and Miss Stephanie were visiting from D.C. and we had a fun time hanging out with them! I think Gracie was the most excited! She had them busy the WHOLE time! They were troopers though and hung in their with her! Thanks Uncle Ryan and Stephanie! We enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner thanks to Gingy! We also made turkey cupcakes and Gracie helped Gingy decorate a Gingerbread house for Gingy to have as decoration around her house! We made a couple of trips to the park and tried to feed the ducks but they were no where to be found!:( Gracie also practiced her turkey call and it worked!:) We saw about 8 or 9 turkey go through Gingy and Poppop's backyard on Friday and then another pack go through on Sat. They were just a day late...smart Turkey's!:) We watched the GA/GA Tech game on Sat. with a house divided! Gracie was a great cheerleader and cheered them on to victory!:) Thanks Gingy and Poppop for having us up!

Gingy, Poppop, Gracie and Lillie
I thought both these pictures were good!
My two little Turkey's! Lillie had a toy spoon in her mouth and didn't want to take it out for these pictures...little stinker!
Pretty baby!
Our Little Family!
The girls doing their Turkey call! This was too funny! G got a book recently ("Olivia Talks Turkey") and in the book they do a turkey call! So...she has been practicing and been so excited to try it out at Gingy and Poppop's! Well, the funniest thing was that Lillie heard her and ran over to the railing and started doing it too! We got it on video and I will try and post once we get our desktop back...which is suppose to be soon~ fingers crossed! Lillie often wants to do whatever her big sister does and it's very cute!
Fun at the park! These girls LOVE to swing!
Trying out the bouncy horse!

Throughout the month of November we did a Thankful Tree at our house! We have done this for the past two years and G just loves it! I drew the tree and G painted it and helped me cut out the leaves and she wrote everything she was thankful for (with my help with spelling of course:)).
This has become something G looks forward too each year and I hope it helps her remember that we should be grateful for everything we have everyday! She had lots of sweet things on there from family, teachers, toys and friends! Love my sweet girl!
