Our week in Alabama

We spent the week of Thanksgiving in Alabama with family. We enjoyed our visit and the kids LOVED spending time with their cousins! This was the first time Grace Anne cried when it was time for us to leave. She has never gotten upset before when our trips were over, she has always been ready for us to go home, but not this time! She was very sad that we had to go back home. She got better when we started talking to her about her friends in SC and her school, then she decided that she was ready to go back to our house!:-)

Anyway back to our trip.............
On Wednesday morning we went to see Great Granny!
Great Granny is Daniel's Grandmother. We had a great visit and the kids had fun spending time with her playing in her room!!! It is always a joy to spend time with her, she is very special to Daniel and myself as well, and our kids ADORE her!

On Wed. night we had Thanksgiving Dinner with Daniel's family.
The kids were so excited to see Uncle Joel(Daniel's brother), he chased them around the house and played with them all night! It was a fun night with the Dulaney's!


We spent Thanksgiving Day with my mom's side of the family. It was great to see everyone and catch up in person instead of via email!:-) Grace Anne and Drew had a blast playing with their cousins! It was fun to watch the kids run around and playing at my PawPaw's house. It brought back memories of me and my cousins when we were their age.

Here is a picture of PawPaw Andy(my Grandfather) with all of his Great Grandchildern

Well, that raps up our Thanksgiving festivities, but I do have more pictures.
On Saturday, we watched the Iron Bowl. It has become a tradition that my parents come over to Daniel's parents house and we watch it together. This year my niece and nephew came too!

Grace Anne got the camera and started taking pictures of everyone!

Great post! I feel like I traveled to Sweet Home Alabama with you! Great to "meet" your folks, and see the kids so happy. Well, mostly. Except Daniel in that last pic. ;-) Probably should let this one go, but I can't... ROLL TIDE! ;-)
So glad y'all had a great trip. Now let's get to planning this double-date night, you hear?!?!

HEY! Been trying to catch up with you guys. I was in charge of a huge 'Night in Bethlehem' activity at church this weekend and have been so busy.
Happy Birthday to Grace Anne!! CAN NOT believe she's six! LOVE the 6 month picture!!
Oh, was I happy that Alabama beat Auburn...not b/c I care one bit either way, but didn't want a grouchy husband all weekend! LOL
Can't believe Drew's in a big boy bed either! Tell your kids to stop getting so big!
Glad ya'll had a good Thanksgiving!
Miss you! Lots of Love, Laurel
