On Thursday morning, we went to visit my Grandmother; she had to be placed in the nursing home a few weeks ago, so we went to spend a little time with her on Thanksgiving day. Here's a picture:
After seeing my Grandmother for a little while, Jeff and I went back to Momma's and got ready to eat some of that good ol' Thanksgiving food! We ate with Kevin and his family and had a really enjoyable time. The food was delish, and of course, we ate WAAAY too much, but it was so good...how could you stop?!?!?
After eating until we could hardly sit or stand or do anything at all, Momma and Jeff went to bed at like 8:15 or some crazy time...I managed to stay up until around 9:30 or so.
Friday brought a new day, and one that did not include Black Friday shopping. I am not a shopper, and especially when everyone else in town is out trying to do the same thing. Instead, Momma and I went back to the nursing home to see my Grandmother. Friday was really hard for me...I didn't get upset while visiting my Grandmother on Thursday, but I was a mess on Friday. Here's another picture of her...she looked better on Friday than she did on Thursday.
After making the rounds to visit some of my mom's family, we went back to Dothan and met Carman and Shay for a little dinner. Shay had been shopping since like 4 am, so I'm sure she was tired. I always enjoy visiting with them, but our visits never seem long enough!!
Saturday morning, Momma and I went to Enterprise for a baby shower for the daughter-in-law of one of my mom's friends. Everyone was super nice and the food was fabulous...if you've not figured it out yet...I LOVE TO EAT!! :) Mrs. Panzy (Momma's friend who is the most talented person I know) had made homemade lasagna and a fresh green salad. Momma made a pound cake, and Mrs. Panzy had a 4 layered chocolate cake...YUMMY!
After stuffing our faces there, we went back to Dothan and just chilled out with Jeff and Kevin. We had awesome fajitas for dinner, and then Jeff and I hit the road to come back home. We left Dothan around 7:45 pm and got home around 2:45 am. It was again a long drive, but it was nice to be home, and it's nice to have today to do things around the house rather than sitting in all that traffic.
We had a fabulous Thanksgiving with one exception...Stephanie was not able to be with us because she only had one day off work. She was able to spend Thanksgiving day with her friends Megan and Ashley, and for that I'm thankful. It didn't take away the fact that we missed her dearly, but at least she didn't have to spend the day alone.
I hope all of you out there also had a great Thanksgiving. We are so blessed and have much to be thankful for.
Until next time...

You were way too busy over Thanksgiving. I think you are supposed to sleep more. :)
