Thanksgiving

My brother hosted Thanksgiving at his house this year.  Spencer, the kids, and I drove up early Thursday morning.  We hung out, napped, and ate a DELICIOUS meal.  My mom did an awesome job on the turkey!  Friday morning we took our family pictures.  Our family photographer was in Augusta this year, so we settled for second best--me.  But they turned out okay.  Here are my parents with all 8 grandkids.

Here are my 3 kids.

After pictures, we went to the Bristol Caverns.  It was a large tour group, but we had a fun time exploring the little cave system.  Hailey fell sound asleep on my sister's shoulder.  Isaiah had a great time flirting with whoever would look at him.  Makenzie was too fast for me to keep up with, but had a good time with her cousins.

After the caverns, we had lunch at Burger King and then headed to the Bristol Motor Speedway.  They had an ice skating rink set up and we all went ice skating.  It was the first time for all of the cousins, so that was really fun.  The adults spent most of their time helping the kids not to fall too hard and then to get up again.  Michelle, Ryan and I all had memorable wipe-outs.  Hailey LOVED ice skating.  As soon as we got any speed going, she would say "WEEEEEEE".  It was a fun-filled day!
