Thanksgiving, Christmas Trees, and a big change of plans!


Going to pick out a tree!

Picking out the Christmas Tree!!!
Daddy and Jack hanging out at the low country boil!

Jack and Daddy went for a walk...and a little adventure!

Jack's Thanksgiving dinner!
The Leonard family on Thanksgiving!

We had a really great Thankgiving this year! However, it was not completely stress free! Our nice close (very little driving) Thankgiving took a sharp change in direction on Wednesday! Long story short... Jack had an ear infection and therefore it was not a great idea to be around his younger cousins.... so instead of spend Thankgiving alone....what did we do? We drove to Savannah on Wednesday night at 9pm! Quite the adventure! We got to Aunt Sally's around 1am that night (or technically Thanksgiving morning!) We surprised Great Granny and settled in for a good night's sleep! Jack was an angel! He slept the whole way and went right into his pack n play when we got there! Luckily the ear infection did not slow him down!
We watched the Macy's parade in the morning and then headed down to the river to Mimi and Papa Frank's house to celebrate with the Floyd family! It was wonderful! Then back to Aunt Sally's for dinner that night! We got lots of good family time in and lots of good food!
We stayed for the rest of the weekend so we could celebrate Great Granny's (Gigi) 85th birthday with the family! There was a lunch for the women that day and a low country boil at Aunt Laura and Uncle Steve's that night! You really can't beat that!
We got home around noon on Sunday and after nap time we headed to get the Leonard Family Christmas tree! The house is completely decorated and we love it! We will be working on "looking at the tree and not touching the tree"!!! Hopefully that will go well! When Jack got up this morning and saw it all lit up...he said "WHOA!!! TREE!!!!" Too cute! He really talked so much this weekend! He called everyone by their name and carried on quite the conversations! It was so much fun!
It is officially the Christmas season and we are loving it!
Check out all of our pictures!
