Full of Thanksgiving

Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we did go...
Ah, the joys of traveling when both of your families live out of town. We drove Wednesday to Jefferson, Ga--a normally 2.5 hour trip took 4 hours, but we got there safely (LOVE ATL traffic by the way..ha ha)
Rody was greeting by an early Christmas present. He was SO excited...his own fire truck that he could climb in and it made siren noises and everything- it even has a gas tank to fill up the fire truck! He loved it..and shouted "hallelujah" several times while riding in it.




And then of course the lollipops...

Rody was so excited...lollipops and gum (sugarless...he loves that stuff!)


And he always get an assortment of fruit at grandma Kia's house...he LOVES raspberries...must of had about 3 cups of them in two days! and he would put them on his finger before he ate each one...

We ate Thanksgiving dinner about 4pm on Thursday...Rody enjoyed it...I think his favorite thing was actually the butter he put on his pumpkin bread...ha!


The table is set! So pretty...
And earlier that day, Rody made a gingerbread house with my mom and dad...after he got over the fact that I wouldn't let him eat the candy, he did really well!

And dessert...somehow it is a tradition in my family to squirt reddi whip into everyone's mouth...


Even Rody got in on the action

He was a good little helper with cleaning up!

He LOVED the vaccuum...this one was just his size!

And the lawnmower with papa!

And here we are trying to recreate a moment...this was my dad's highchair from when he was little...
We had a very nice time in Georgia...on Friday afternoon we headed to South Carolina to spend some time with Randy's family. I don't have any pictures from there (all of these pics are from my parents camera)...but, we had a jam-packed full time...including a baby shower for our little girl on Saturday--we finally came home on Monday and are recouping and gearing up for the Christmas season!
