Thanksgiving, Part Deux

Today we celebrated our 2nd day of thanksgiving with Dillon's immediate family. We had a great time hanging out with everyone while they cooked some amazing food!

Tomorrow, we'll be traveling back to North Carolina and Sunday will be Christmas decorating! Before we leave in the afternoon, we'll probably help my mom and dad put up their Christmas tree and spend some more time with Dillon's family. 

While we've had an awesome time with everyone, I think we'll all be glad to get back home. It's hard on the baby being out of his routine and then it's hard on us to get him to calm back down! He's decided he does not like traveling at night when he can't see out the window and screams the whole time. 

I'll update again soon with more pictures of our tree and tree trimming festivities!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We've had a great thanksgiving so far! Even though we've traveled through some bad weather to get here. We finished up our work early yesterday to try and travel through the warmest part of the day. It snowed and spit ice the whole way home even though the roads were fairly clear.

We got home yesterday and hung out with some family and woke up this morning to a white thanksgiving! It's been a cold, cold day but one filled with lots of laughter and happiness. We started out with lunch at my parents and then made our way up to Dillon's grandma's house. 

I've got lots of pictures today, so I'll post some today and then I'm sure I'll have a few more by the end of the weekend as we'll be spending more time with our families and getting our Christmas tree on Sunday. 

We are so thankful for all that God has given us. Our home, our families, our healthy baby, our pups, and our very full bellies this evening. I hope everyone has had a great holiday! 

Mom and dad found some of my old toys that are "baby friendly" for Luke to play with

Luke plays with toys and watches "Gone with the Wind"


We didn't bring a highchair, so we had to brave the snow last night and get a booster seat at WalMart
