Pre-Thanksgiving Festivities

We haven't travelled to Georgia for a holiday in 2 years, so we've been excited for Thanksgiving this year. We started our journey on Friday afternoon, and drove until 3:30am (eastern time). It was a rough trip, but the kids did great. Saturday morning I got up with the kids, got them fed/dressed/situated while Dave slept a little. By 9:30, I got him up and Molly and I headed out for a day of shopping. We got a sitter for the kids that night, and we had a nice kid-free dinner at an Italian restaurant. Unfortunately, no pics were taken. :-( But plenty of memories were made...

On Sunday morning we headed up to Braselton and spent 2 days with the Batusics and their clan. It's been awhile since the kids spent time together, and they had a blast! Their backyard is every kid's dream.

Dinner with 6 kids, 6 and under gets pretty crazy.

I absolutely love this lady!!!!

How do you get 4 of the 6 to sit still for a minute so the adults can eat their dinner? Turn on the TV. Works every time!

Of course, the little people need assistance with their dessert...

THIS is why she's one of my best friends

before we gave them their dessert, I made them do the "chocolate cake dance." Jake's was the best....

Crew was a BIG fan of the digger

these 4 boys spent HOURS building a fort/house (with William's supervision, of course)

William was very excited to take Reggie and Macy for a walk

Paci/Straw buddies

Allie LOVED having her back scratched!

We had the best time with the Batusic clan. Now, maybe they can come visit us in Texas?

On to our next adventure...Lookout Mountain, Georgia!
