Thanksgiving is definitely up there with one of my favorite holidays! Christmas still trumps it, but I still love it and love all the family time and food!
This year Thanksgiving started for us on Tuesday at Mama Becky and Daddy Mer's house. We even had my cousin and his wife here from Connecticut, so that was great to see them and reminisce! Mama Becky had prepared a delicious feast, so we all had a great time eating and visiting!
Wednesday night we had dinner at Papa and Sherbo's house. We got over there a little before dark, so we enjoyed a little playtime before supper. Sherbo had cooked a feast over there, too, so we ate well again!
Fun in the wagon!
We headed on down to Auburn after dinner Wednesday since we had 2 gatherings there on Thursday. The first was lunch at Granny and Granddaddy's house. Lots of food there, too, but Jack mostly played outside with his cousin Matthew. They played golf, football, and even rode on the golf cart together!
Thursday night was dinner at Mimi's. By now you'd think we'd had enough to eat and couldn't possibly eat another bite, but somehow we managed to get full plates again and it was all delicious!
We didn't do much on Friday since we'd been so busy the few days before, plus we didn't want to get out much with all the Black Friday shoppers!
Saturday was Iron Bowl day! It was hard to believe it was already the end of the regular season, but we had a fun day of tailgating planned, plus going to the game, so we were ready.
We had lots of fun tailgating, but we really just wanted the game to start so we could take Jack to his first Iron Bowl. Yes, he's just 2 years old, but he is the biggest Auburn fan I know (after his Daddy of course), and thanks to his Mama Becky and Daddy Mer, he was able to have a ticket and go!
He loves going to the game so much and especially loves the pre-game festivities. He loves watching the band play, seeing the eagle fly, plus watching the team run out and get ready to play! We had so much fun with him at the game, and even though Auburn lost, I loved experiencing the game with him and seeing his excited expressions the whole time! I'm not sure how we can explain to him that we won't be able to go to another football game for a very long time! :-(

Here are some video clips from Thanksgiving and the game:
Thanks so much to all of our mothers and grandmothers for all the food they provided for Thanksgiving. We are so blessed to have so much family and so many people we love and who love us! God is so good and we have so much to be thankful for!
Thanks also to Daddy Mer and Mama Becky for the football tickets they gave us to every home game! We had so much fun and appreciate y'all letting us use them!
