We had such a great and relaxed Thanksgiving. The kids were out of school all week. Kenny and I actually decided super last minute to run over to Tuscalooosa for the night on Tuesday just the two of us. After our crazy week the week before we just needed a quick breather and it was exactly what we needed. We did a little shopping and ate at some really fun restaurants. Even hit up a local brewery! We came back around lunch time on Wednesday. One of our favorite babysitters had kept the kids busy and they had a great time with her too. Annie got into town Wednesday night and we were so happy to see her so soon after her being in town.
Thanksgiving morning Kenny and I went and worked out (who are we??) and got back in home just in time to make a big breakfast and watch the parade. Of course we popped some champagne and had mimosas too. CeCe got in town right as the parade started too. We enjoyed watching the parade and I made my mashed potatoes and got my brussel sprout ingredients ready. Around lunch we watched Dak and the Cowboys play and win which was really fun. The kids played outside and we played card games with Elle. We got all the food ready and we ate our big Thanksgiving meal late afternoon. Then we settled in to watch the Bulldogs play Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl. We trounced them good but luckily the kids ended up being too wiped out to watch the whole game because it they had a bench clearing brawl and I was happy that they didn't see our Bulldogs behaving that way!

Time to eat!
After dinner Elle cleared all the plates, washed them, put them all away, wiped the counters and cleaned the floors. It was just the sweetest thing. We were so proud of her.

On Friday Kenny and I went and worked out again. But since I had all my Christmas decorations up the week before Thanksgiving mom, Annie and me took Elle and did a little shopping downtown. The we came home because we had a big big big afternoon. Kenny had been looking forward to this golf match between Tiger and Phil for months. For months! I can't even put into words how happy he was the day was finally here. He invited the Cooks and Jack and over to watch some of it with us. Jack brought Audrey and Ella over to play for little bit and then they left to go to a wedding rehearsal. Annie brought gingerbread houses for the kids and she and mom occupied the kids building and decorating those. There was a moment where it all could of gone terribly wrong. Jay and Margaret brought Bailey and she was after the tv remote so I grabbed it and when I did I excited out of the app we were watching the match on and then we couldn't get back into the app! Everyone was totally panicked. I literally broke out into a sweat and my neck got all red. After about 20 minutes we managed to get it rigged through airplay but it was a scary time for sure! Phil ended up beating Tiger in a match that went into extra holes. It was really fun to watch and Kenny was so happy that Phil won!

Annie enjoyed getting to meet Bailey and Bailey kept us all busy
trying to make sure she didn't knock down the whole house.
