Now that I am finally done being stuffed full of turkey and resorting back to normal meal portions, I am going to document our first married Thanksgiving! We are VERY lucky to have family that lives in the same state, and pretty close geographically to one another, so for as long as this remains, our holidays will be a bit easier than most married couples. Here is a quick look at how we spent our first married Thanksgiving being thankful for ALL we have and all the folks who have blessed us.
I'm not sure if this counts as part of my last November goal but Rich and I did manage to make roasted vegetables to have as part of my family's Thanksgiving lunch. Other than our youngest niece, the veggies were a hit.
Our precious little niece was none too pleased with her dad's turkey carving noises.
The most spirited of little turkeys this Thanksgiving at the kids table.
After Thanksgiving lunch with my parents we headed to celebrate with Rich's family in Raleigh! The food and company must have been too yummy because this is the only shot I got from that dinner celebration but the table was gorgeous!
Black Friday took a different spin this year since we ended up at Lowes buying a few things we need for our new house. See that ladder right there? That's the ladder that's going to help the menfolk paint our new house in less than two weeks!
The grandkiddos put on a Christmas play, complete with costumes. Afterwards they grabbed all their suitcases and coats and said the play was so good they are going to Hollywood. Imagination is a real thing in elementary school y'all.
Mark me at the very top of the list of people excited my middle niece
has shown an interest in the sport of tennis. I got to hang out with
her and teach her a few things.
Saturday meant I got to spend some time watching my Deacs take on my Duke fellas in a bit of football. Duke won but it was a great game till the end. Also, you couldn't beat the weather for late November in North Carolina.
Most importantly I got to see my best best friend and her sweet baby boy. We haven't seen him since he was 6 weeks old on our honeymoon so it was great to see all of them.
But there is no questioning who enjoyed the holiday season the MOST. This little lady just loves playing ball in her poppy's backyard. She also doesn't hate the crunch of real fall leaves underneath her either. She rolled in the grass for hours, tail wagging.
