If you know me, then you know I LOVE Thanksgiving. Actually, I love most holidays - Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favs - but who doesn't love these! We changed up our routine this Thanksgiving. Where in the past we've been in Eufaula for Thanksgiving with the Gaither side of the family, we stayed here for Thanksgiving. It was so nice not to rush around. We had Thanksgiving lunch with Patsy, Winn, Molly, Eric, Alyce and Billy at Patsy's house. She had a lovely table set up and the food was incredible! Henry played in his car and stroller - while we enjoyed turkey and dressing. Billy was a great addition and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him. As always, we love being with Molly, Alyce, Eric, Patsy, and Winn. They are a great help with Henry too!
We drove to Eufaula on Thanksgiving afternoon - luckily Henry slept the entire way! - and met Big Bill and Keitt at the Blackmons (Charles Blackmon is Keitt's brother). They were so gracious to host us for the afternoon. They ate lunch outside since it was such a beautiful day - so we visited on their back deck and enjoyed family and fellowship for an hour or so and headed to the Robertsons for Henry to have playtime with the pups and Poppa. Big Bill and Keitt have Hooker and Rascal - they are both around Henry's age. Henry loves to watch them play and they love Hen.
We ended up at Mom and Dad's just in time for bedtime. While Henry dreamed, we gave Dad his birthday/Christmas gift - he needed it to watch the Auburn/Alabama game. A great gift for a TERRIBLE game. Ugh! I hope Auburn makes changes before next year!
On Friday, we had Thanksgiving with the Gaither family (Bowmans, Bowmans, Whites, and Williams). Margaret joined us for Thanksgiving - and we are so thankful for her! She and Will are busy peps and we are glad they joined us for our family gathering. Christina came from Savannah and Matthew and his roommate (India native) came from Clemson. It was a wonderful time with family and friends.
God is GOOD!!! Bill, Henry, and I are thankful for wonderful family, friends, and a free country in which to worship such an amazing Creator.
