Thanksgiving Friday with Family

It's been our tradition since we moved to Hickory to celebrate Thanksgiving with our families on the Friday after Thanksgiving. We have the traditional meal of steak, shrimp, scallops, baked potato and salad. This year Gigi, Papaw, Mamaw, Papaw, Keira, Kim and Byrd all came to eat lunch with us and share what we were thankful for.

The day began with Reagan and Cooper playing at the sand and water table

Howard, the neighbor Will's dog, came for a visit and Cooper was more than ready to pet him. Reagan is in the arms of Gigi on the other side of the yard!
Back to playing at the sand table since Howard has moved on!

I spent the morning "slaving" in the kitchen

The Kids' Table Rules!

Let's eat!

After lunch, Reagan and Keira were ready to party

They served all the women and entertained us for hours

Much needed rest ~ listening to the ipod

We went on a walk around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights through these cool 3D glasses. They made all the lights look as if they had snowmen around them

Later that night, we made crafts ~ here is a picture of Reagan's Christmas tree
