Thanks for Thanksgiving

WoW. Could this past week could have gone any faster? Man it just seems like yesterday we were packing and loading the car to hit the road to Mississippi to visit Les' parents. We ended up leaving a day early and pulling Nolan out of school an hour early so we could beat the heavy traffic and boy it was worth it. Sorry Mike and Linda for the late change of plans! They had to boogie to get their things done to get ready for us. We had such a good time and ate way too much food. The kids had a blast antagonizing the cats and popping popcorn. Mike and Linda had their house looking beautiful as always and food busting at the seams of the frig. We did all sorts of things while visiting, like playing ping pong

Nolan got to be really good! Hmm, maybe another Christmas gift?!

Popping popcorn in Grandpa's commercial grade popper! Mmm, there is nothing better!

Enjoying the lush landscape Grandma and Grandpa have worked so hard on.........

Playing games...............

Like I said, antagonizing, loving, squeezing, hugging, kissing, the different cats...........

And of course we did some shopping. Linda and I got up and hit Belk later in the morning, but none of us got up early to hit the big sales. Friday was Les' birthday....

Mike and Linda invited some very sweet friends of theirs over for Thanksgiving lunch. They happen to own the most gorgeous Bed and Breakfast, Belle of the Bends that was built in 1875, I think. They live on the third floor of this old colonial home and was so sweet to give us a tour. If you are ever in the Vicksburg area, please look them up and stay, seriously, they will make you feel at home! They are so down to earth and caring. Click on the link and indulge yourself in utter beauty! We got to witness it firsthand and it was just wonderful.

We are at the bottom of the most Grand staircase!

On Saturday we headed back to Texas with full tummies and eager to put up the Christmas tree.

Thanks again Mike and Linda for a wonderful week! See you at Christmas!
