Thanksgiving and the Big Wheel

We had a busy but wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  We had Maddie for most of the week so that made the holiday extra special.  We traveled to Mississippi early Thursday to celebrate with my family, and returned to spend the afternoon with Reed's family.  It was wonderful to see everyone.  I enjoy taking a break from our busy routines and reflecting on all the many reasons we have to be thankful.

(I am having lots of camera problems, so please excuse the quality of the pictures.....It was really acting up at Grandmother's, so I have very few pictures there.)

Ok-if you ever see my Uncle Gerald he will not hesitate to tell you that I am now and always have been his favorite niece!  Sorry girls!  Welcome to the family Bonnye!

Having fun........

Lindsey and Michael

Most of the gang-Phillip, Bethany, and Tyson hadn't made it yet and Adrian, Bubba, Jami, Tommy, Reed and Caleb weren't able to be there. Also, for some reason Kathy and Anne didn't make it in the picture........

Ally decided to prop down right in front of Taylor and roll over. Smart dog!!

 Uncle C and Maddie

There's no telling what these two are talking about

And there's certainly no telling what these two were discussing!!


Now for the REAL FUN-

Pop found this cute big wheel at one of our local dollar stores. Once again, Nana said, "No, she's not ready for that." Well, while Lindsey, Josh and I went shopping guess what Pop went and bought? And guess who was wrong again! She loved it. I'm telling you this is one tough little cookie!!

She loves it!

Pop giving a helping hand!

Lots of discussion going on here-Maddie wanted to carry this back up the hill everytime.  But after about 10 feet, she would have Pop pick her and the bigwheel up and travel up the hill.......

Here we go again!!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday with your family.  Now it's time to really begin all the Christmas fun!!
