Thanksgiving

We went to Biloxi for Thanksgiving this year. For Thanksgiving day we went to Barrett's Aunt Beth's house where most of the extended family gathered for a meal. The next day Barrett's mom made turkey and sausage gumbo and we had a special meal with his parents, Tim, Susanne, Roger, Elijah and Gracie Beth. We spent most of the afternoon shopping for bargains, but only Tim woke up early to hit the doorbuster sales. The rest of us decided that sleep was the better option. On Saturday we had planned on going to Bellingrath Gardens in Mobile to look at the Christmas lights, but it ended up raining all day, so we had to change plans. We decided to take the kids to Chuck E Cheeses instead. They were just as happy there! Isabelle spent her tickets on a huge lollipop which she was very excited about. Isabelle also couldn't get enough of Grandmomma and Granddaddy's dog, Lucy. She picked her up and carried her everywhere and wanted her to sit on her lap all the time. We came home Sunday afternoon in time to unpack and then begin December the very next day. Monday night we went to Lowes with the kids to pick out our Christmas tree. It was a freezing cold night, and the kids had so much fun choosing a tree. Caleb said that the one we all chose was the "perfect tree." A great start to our Christmas season!
