Little Turkeys

On Thanksgiving morning we ran a fun little Turkey Trot in Franklin, double stroller and all. The "race" was slow and difficult passing in and out of people, but we just enjoyed it and it ended up being a fun family event!
The kids were happy with the after race swag.
Lucy ate a little chocolate cookie and managed to get it all over her face in a matter of seconds. She was pretty proud of herself!
Once home, we cooked up our turkey and sides. We tried to keep it simple, and it was easy and delicious.
The rolls were and especially big hit with the kids.
 
We may have overdone the pictures, but it was so much fun just spending time together relaxing!
The day after Thanksgiving, we packed up and once again headed to "Grandpa's Cabin." Grandma Diney and Grandpa Rod met us there bearing gifts. 
 
Grandpa Rod has been waiting to give his grandkids a real train since they were born (if not before). Ty and Lucy got a size O Polar Express Train. We can't wait to put it under the tree!
 We took it pretty easy at the cabin, just hanging out, relaxing, reading stories, and playing with toys!
 Remember how I said the grandparents bore gifts? Well, Lucy scored these adorable reindeer jammies. She looks great in them!
 And no trip to the cabin is complete without a ride on Red Rover!
Saturday afternoon we drove to a small town in Alabama to an awesome store that had a bunch of decorated Christmas trees. The trees had all different themes including a Minion tree!
These kids sure love their grandparents. It wasn't easy leaving, but we are so excited to see them again in three weeks for Christmas!
Once home, Ty and daddy got to work setting up shop.
At this Thanksgiving time, we have so much to be grateful for. It was a perfect holiday!
