Thankful for... Thanksgiving!

It's still November and I am still celebrating being thankful. We had a wonderful 2 days of Thanksgiving with each of our families. We started our Thursday with a trip to Nana and Papa's.

I used my mama skills to figure out a way to feed Eva, get myself ready, load up the husband, dog, and luggage, drive 1 1/2 hours, and still have time to bake my potatoes for Thanksgiving in just the right amount of time. If you think this sounds hard, it was. Thankfully, we timed things perfectly and squeezed everything in. Also my mother in-law let me cook in her over which made things so much easier. Thanks, Cindy!!!

When the baby was fed (again!), the potatoes were hot, and the the turkey was dressed (our sweet little turkey that is), we drove over to Ryan's aunts home for the big feast. Eva got to meet her great grandmother Mamaw for the first time. Mamaw now has 11 great grandchildren. Wow!

We enjoyed good food - including the best turkey I've ever tasted - and then spent time with family. Look at Eva and Cousin Mallory both growing up! Mallory is 6 months old now and soooo cute.

Sometimes when you play with your cousin, you both have to check out each other's socks, right? Half the pictures we took were of them looking at their socks. Future fashion divas? I think so.

Thursday night we stayed with Ryan's parents and it was Eva's first time to sleep at Nana's house. Nana has a crib there for all of the grandchildren so it worked out well. The sleeping part...not so well. For the first time in 3 weeks she was up at 4 am. I love Eva so much though that I didn't mind :)

On Friday we headed over to my aunt's house. Check out those love birds above. My Dede and Papa are so cute together.

The feast! I made those good looking potatoes on the back row. Thank you Holly Rodeman for the recipe!


My mom the chef. Also the world's best pumpkin pie maker. Her pie was so good that I ate some for breakfast this morning. It's good to be a grown up :)

I hope everyone enjoyed their family as much as I enjoyed mine. To see more fun pictures of our Bradley family, read our Thanksgiving Photo Shoot post.
