Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving, got to spend lots of time with our families and have so many blessings to be thankful for. As usual, we started off our morning with breakfast/brunch at Ma and Pa's house. Each year the food gets more and more--country ham, gravy, homemade biscuits, fruit,eggs, bacon,sausage, coffee cake....one of the many things I am thankful for! I do have to say that it was kind of weird not having Chelsey there (she is in Macau), we missed her but got a quick fix when she called. The kids were super excited to be able to play and wrestle with Luke and Faith (SO excited for them to home this year and especially for their 1st Christmas Eve with the Wethington family!) for hours. This was fine by us, allowed us time to eat, catch up, eat, wash dishes, eat and look thru ads. The food was SO yummy, we couldn't stop eating! *I am a bad blogger Momma and didn't take the first picture that morning*

Around lunch time we headed to Indiana to stop and see Daddy. He had a little scare the day before with his heart (and Brian was really scared. That in itself is weird), he is fine now, so he wanted to stop and check on him. It was pure and utter chaos and I LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!! Walking into Aunt Kathy's house and there are cousins running here and there, people making Christmas lists, planning their shopping trips for Black Friday, Football games on and crafts in the garage!! It's such a blessing to be part of such a large and loving family.

Aunt Erin and Hayley

Our last stop was at Farnsley's for dinner. By the time we got there we were not hungry at all, we had ate all day long. It wasn't long after dinner that we switched gears and celebrated Christmas with Granny and Daniel (Brian's mom and step dad) since they were in town.

LOVE OF MY LIFE
These two gals are going to be something else when they get older. I love watching how Faith follows Hayley around, so precious....two peas in a pod!!
Aunt Jess had to get some snuggle/lovin' time in with Luke and Faith. I spoil them rotten every chance I get!! That's one of the benefits of being an Aunt, right?!

My battery died and I didn't get any pictures of Christmas with Granny. Hayley got her Ug boots, earring and Country Just Dance. Hunter got lots of bay blades and a new stadium....looks like the Christmas fun has begun!!
