Thanksgiving. Better late than never, right?

I will start by saying YES, we are still alive. I will post about Thanksgiving and then hopefully I can get up to date with the past week or so tomorrow in another post....

Anyways....
We did have a good time in Florida for Thanksgiving. The boys did pretty good on the drive there and back. It was definitely a better trip on the way back. We were prepped on "what to dos" and "what not to dos" from the trip going down. Haha. Here are a few pics from our trip...

My Granny is turning 70 this month. We threw her a "surprise" birthday party the Friday night we were there. We did really well keeping it from her all week. She said in her 70 years of being alive, this was only the 2nd time she had been completely surpised!!! She was really happy and I'm glad we decided to do this for her while we were there. We are all very grateful for her. Happy early 70th Birthday Granny and G.G. (the great grand kids call her G.G.)!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

The Cake

Yes, we lit 70 candles. And no, we didn't have to call the fire dept. Haha.

The BOYS celebrating their G.G.'s big day!

The trip was very much needed. I hadn't been down in over 3 years. We stayed with my Aunt Stacey and her husband Jeremy. They were wonderful hosts! Especially to put up with us and one very bored 16 month old. :) And if you're all wondering why everyone's wearing shorts and short sleeved shirts, it's because it was in the 80's on Thanksgiving day. Alot different from the weather here at home.

We left Florida Saturday afternoon after Thanksgiving and got home about 2 in the morning. Sunday morning we were up and at it getting ready for Thanksgiving with Jordan's family. Jordan's family always celebrates every holiday the Sunday after the actual holiday. I really like that because we get to spend time with both families. Thanksgiving at Jordan's Nanny's turned out great. We ate, took a few pictures and headed home to rest before we both had to go back to work. Here are a few shots I got at Nanny's...

  3. Looks like you all had a great time. You all look so sweet as a family, maybe not to much longer and Tuff can have a playmate. Hope you guys are staying warm, it has turned so cold so fast.
