Thanksgiving 2015

What a crazy month November was!  Besides being the busiest I have ever been with work, we had a month full of family visits.  We started off with a visit to Bastrop to see Jeremy's grandmother in the nursing home.  We hadn't seen her in a while, so it was good to be able to spend some time with her, go to the store for her, etc.  The girls enjoyed getting to paint with her, and playing with the bunnies.  I think it made Mamaw's day when Lucy threw her arms around Mamaw's neck and said, "You're my best friend!".

Shelby took this one. ;)

The next visit was to Hattiesburg to see more of Jeremy's family.  We normally go there every year for Thanksgiving, but since I had a lot of family coming to TX, we decided to stay here.  The compromise was to go to Hattiesburg the weekend before.  Over 16 hours in the car for a little over a full day there.  Worth it though.  Everyone went to all kinds of trouble to fix Thanksgiving dinner for us while we were there so that we could all eat together.  And then they ended up eating pizza on Thanksgiving day!  We felt so bad!  So nice to have family that is so caring.  We also celebrated Christmas early with them, and the girls had so much fun playing with their cousins.

 

I love this!  Brock was like 2 when Jeremy and I started dating, and I have spent many, many hours playing with and chasing him.  Now it's his turn!

Thanksgiving week was so exhausting and fun.  With 9 kids in the family it is hard to all get together and be in the same place at the same time.  There were 6 of us and our families at Thanksgiving this year, as well as my aunt and uncle from CA, and 2 cousins and their spouses/families.  There were 41 of us on Thanksgiving Day!  That's a big crowd!  We are very thankful for family!

Let's play "Where's Jeremy?" :)

Pretty much how we all felt after everyone left.
