Thanksgiving Weekend

For the first time in several years, my family was all together for Thanksgiving.  Because there are two families (eleven of our family members) on the east coast, it only makes since that Mickey and I go there.  Our daughter and son-in-law hosted us all at their home.  Many thanks to them!

Crissy and I have a good thing going.  I make the pie crusts and she makes the pies!

What a deal!  Brock likes it, too!

Our daughter-in-law brought this wonderful chocolate Capital from D.C.

Yum Yum. 

On Black Friday, our son and daughter were up early to shop with Mickey and me.

Crazy, I know.  However, our stops were Home Depot, Tractor Supply and Lowes.

They were not crowded, easy to access, had some fun deals and we had a good time.

After lunch, we took the kids ice skating.

Grant, Will and Brock.

Will, Jack and Charlotte in the center.

Holly Grace.

Mitchell.

All seven together and all still - on ice!

So, the adults headed down the street to the coffee shop.

John and Mickey.

The Scandinavian blonde beauty on the far right is an international university student

who hangs out with Crissy's family and was with us for Thanksgiving.

The other two beauties are our daughter, Crissy and daughter- in -law, Christi.

I don't know who phone-bombed my picture!

Saturday morning, we headed to the Christmas Tree Farm in NC.

Santa told Brock that he has been waiting for him!

So, they had a nice chat.

Time to find a tree!

Cory's family.

Crissy's family.  Yes, the tall guy in the center is Jack!

Grammy and PawPaw.

After the tree is cut, it is tagged, transported down the hill and bagged for the trip home.

While waiting, apple cider, hot chocolate and cookies are served.

There was a great play area that the kids enjoyed.

Oh, and the adults.

Will's swing.

Charlotte's fun.

Christi and Holly.

Stretch, Brock.

Will, what are you doing up there?

The wind up.  

The pitch.  

The hit.

And the snowball dissipates.

Yeah, I snapped this picture!

Just the girls.

Brock, Beaudreaux and Charlotte.

The final torture! Posing fora Christmas picture.
