Thanksgiving & Birthdays

Well, we left bright and early Monday morning heading for Muscle Shoals. Hayden went back with my parents on Sunday, so it was just me, Dave and Livee for the car trip. That made it significantly easier for some reason. hmmmm.... Monday night we celebrated Brandon, Gwen, and Dave's birthdays (all in November) and Thanksgiving. It was a delicious feast of turkey, chicken, dressing, green bean casserole, corn, purple hull peas, mashed potatoes, marinated carrots, congealed salad, cranberry sauce, and homemade birthday cake!
Note Dave's T-Shirt. Uggghhh-I need to burn it.
Man, do we know how to eat!!! Tuesday Dave headed back to Georgia to work and the rest of us stayed in the Shoals for the week. The plan was to head back Sunday and stop in Calera for our Polar Express ride, but some dummy (ummmm ME) booked the wrong date so we do that next Sunday. The rest of the week was pretty non-descript. I got together with some of my oldest friends for coffee- Leanna, Brad and Elizabeth. Elizabeth is expecting her 2nd, so that was exciting! And Leanna and Brad are doing great in San Diego as well. The little newlyweds celebrate their 1st anniversary in December. Wednesday evening I got to see my aunt and uncle and cousin and her boys for yet another delicious Thanksgiving meal. On Thursday, we went over to my grandparents and ate homemade veggie soup. All in all, I think I gained 5 pounds. I guess I'm just too well taken care of when I'm at my parents. :)
Aren't these the saddest faces you've ever seen? They were so very tired.
