Very Thankful

I've got a whole lot to be thankful for this year and at the top of the list, was five days off of work!!! I took a vacation day last Wednesday, so we could get a jump on the holiday and it's been so nice to be off so long! Work has been especially stressful these past few weeks and a nice long break was just what I needed.

James and I take turns every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas and this year we headed to Mountain View to spend Thanksgiving with my family. It was Case's first Thanksgiving with my family and I think he throughly enjoyed it. And since we won't be headed back there for Christmas, we had our "tree" with my parents and brother's family on Friday night. It feeels great to have half of my shopping for this year already out of the way!

We tried desperately to get a photo of all the cousins together, but as you can see, it proved to be a bit difficult...

We kept trying...

Evan and Will were much more cooperative about posing for the camera!

James got a new subscription to Backpacker Magazine and some camping supplies for his next trek.

Case was completely worn out from all the action and fell asleep on his uncle Tyler.

Case got to sit on Grandpa Whit's motorcycle. Maybe next time he can actually go for a ride on it.

On our way back to Memphis on Saturday, we made a pit stop in Bald Knob to see our friend Sneed. It was great to see him again. He moved from Memphis to Dallas earlier this fall and we sure do miss him. Case got to ride on his four wheeler and LOVED IT!! I wish I could have gotten a pic of the look on his face.
