On Wednesday, we had lunch at our house with my best buddies... Jeni and Leslie. Leslie and I were roommates in college, and all of us have been friends since high school. Rush and Sydney Frances had so much fun playing with Jeni and Jonthan's daughter, Olivia. SF and Olivia had on matching patterns from Kelly's Kids. I guess great minds think alike. ;-)
On Thursday, we went to my parents' house to have a HUGE Thanksgiving meal. I must say that this feast was delicious. Wanna hear the menu? Smoked turkey, ham, chicken, dressing, cranberry sauce, homemade macaroni and cheese, squash casserole, broccoli casserole, sweet potato casserole (with the crunchy topping), peas, strawberry salad, rolls, chocolate cake, bread pudding, pumpkin cake, sweet potato pie, and pound cake. I just gained another pound by listing it all again, and I probably left something off the list. It was all delicious. I ate TWO plates FULL. I was literally in pain. That's what you are supposed to do on this holiday, right?The kiddos had their Thanksgiving lunch at a very special table this year. It was the kids' table, but not just any kids' table. This table belonged to Gigi (my Mama) when she was a little girl. Then, Ivy and I also played with it when we were little girls. Rush and Fran loved having their lunch at the little table. I like thinking about everyone from our family sitting in those little chairs through the years. I'm a cheeseball like that, though.
One of my favorite parts of the Thanksgiving weekend was getting to hang out with this little cutie pie. My sweet niece, Kate, kept everyone on their toes because this cutie patootie is crawling and pulling up on everything. She is so cute and sweet. I love being Kate's aunt!! P.S. Her AU onesie has been bringing us luck each weekend, and it worked like a charm this week, too.
*{Disclaimer: OK. Truthfully, football isn't one of my favorite things. Mainly, I just like to go the games to see the band and watch all the pregame/halftime stuff, but when my alma mater has a perfect season, beats UA, will play in the SEC Championship game next weekend, and has a shot to be National Champions, football becomes one of my favorite things.WAR EAGLE!!}
