Fox Thanksgiving

So here we are, already in December and I am finally posting about Thanksgiving. As with most families around this time of year we did our best to get with both sides of the family. Wednesday night we drove down the lake to hang with Lindsey's family. Yummy pulled pork sandwiches were devoured. The next morning, after enjoying a leisurely breakfast and time spent watching the parade together, we were off again. This time to Lawrenceville for lunch with my Dad's side of the family. In total there were 26 people/little people there.

That is us with my parents. Had to steal these pictures from family cause we didn't bring our camera or even think to take many pictures at all. It was great to see family, many of whom we hadn't seen in a long time, and really some we had but for less exciting reasons. As you can see Dad was there, he even got to eat some real thanksgiving food so that was fun. His favorite of course is the hershey cream pie. :)

The highlight of the day was that our family on this side is moving on to the next generation. We had 3 two-year-olds there! We are really spoiled though because all three of them are adorable and super well behaved. It was our first chance to meet Finley (left). But great to see Ellie (center) and Allyssa (right) too. Super fun to just watch them interact and then also watching all the adults, read grandparents/parents of the two year olds, work super hard to get cutesy pictures of the three of them together. I think this was the closest they got. :)


Friday wasn't nearly as exciting for me, I had to work, but fear not, Lindsey and her mom and sister braved the throngs of shoppers and went out to buy things. I luckly still got home in time to watch the Iron bowl with my father in law. His team didn't win, but I think we all enjoyed hanging out.

Saturday after a short shopping trip which I am sure we will post about later, we, Lindsey, sister Bari and I went up and hung out with my parents for the tradition of watching the UGA-GT game. We didn't win, although the team played pretty good. Couldn't get past the turnovers though and ultimately that really cost us the game more than just a missed PAT did.

All in all a great holiday. Hope everyone else enjoyed theirs. Oh and by the end of it, thanks to Lindsey being crazy awesome planning things, we are done Christmas shopping. How are you doing with yours?
