Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you and your family were able to count your blessings and celebrate. We typically celebrate at my cousin's house, but we decided on something a little different this year; Thanksgiving at the beach! We didn't go in October like normal, so we decided to go over Thanksgiving instead. It was wonderful! We started out in Birmingham where Ryan and I went to the Alabama concert; that was a lot of fun. The next morning we visited with Kendall, John and their precious new baby girl; Josh, Amy and Liz joined us too so it was nice to have the whole family together. After some time with them, we headed down to the condo.
We decided we needed to decorate like we would back home, so we put up window clings all around.
We decided to eat out a couple of times instead of eating in each day. One of our favorites was Lamberts. The girls had never been before, and they were very excited to catch a roll.
We also enjoyed a yummy meal at The Hangout.
This is in simply because I love the girls wearing clothes about loving Mommy and Daddy.
We made lots of craft projects this week. Here are a few of them.
We also spent a little time at Fort Morgan which was interesting. Unfortunately, it was REALLY cold, so we didn't stay out too long. We enjoyed walking though the museum though.
We made it out to the beach a couple of times, but it was pretty chilly. The first time, we only stayed for about 15 minutes because it was so cold. The second time, Kendall, John and Caroline were with us; they were in the area visiting John's family, so they met us for lunch and then came back to introduce Caroline to the beach. That was a much nicer day, so we spent about 45 minutes or so out. The girls had fun running around and digging. Since we couldn't go to the beach as much, we hit the indoor pool a couple of times which the girls loved. It was a great way to burn some energy!
We always enjoy reading lots of books together.
The girls were excited about their light up bracelets!
Of course, we ate in for Thanksgiving dinner. We kept it low key so it wouldn't be a stressful time. The menu included Honeybaked Ham and Turkey, corn soufflé, lemon green beans, cheesy mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls, orange wedges and apple slices. It was delicious!
Of course we enjoyed some beautiful views.
One of the beautiful sunsets we enjoyed too.
This was such a wonderful week of much needed family time. I am so thankful for my family!
