A Thankful Weekend

We made our trip to Memphis/Olive Branch to be with our families for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lots of family, friends and food! We have so much to be thankful for...I wish we could try harder to keep a thankful spirit every day of the year.

This is a great one, and would be GREATER if Emma was looking! Oh well! Papa, Emma, Meme & Meemom (at Meemom's house for lunch)Now she's decided to look at the camera! That evening, we went to visit with the O'Leary side of the family. Here is Emma with her other Great-Grandmother, "Great Mom". Can you tell that Connell has been into some type of chocolate dessert?!Turkey time! Emma thinks it's silly!This was after leaving Meme & Papa's Friday morning after lots of play time. Making icing for cupcakes - we accidentally destroyed my Mom's mixer. oops! Sorry Grandma!Daddy making his yummy carrots! We tried a few new recipes this year. Everything was delish! Yep, she wore the turkey dress Thurs and Fri! Gotta make the most of the turkey dress...can't really wear it any other time! Big thanks for Rachel (& Mallory) for letting Emma borrow it!loving the turkeyMy Mom and Dad I don't think Connell ate much turkey. He told me "the turkey doesn't want me to eat him."

This was the funniest thing ever! All 3 kids became the clean-up crew! Hilarious!

It was a great and busy weekend. We headed home on Saturday afternoon so we could get started on the next big thing: DECORATING for Christmas!
