Anderson's First Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for, first and foremost, our little boy who was born early,but is now doing great, our family, our jobs, our loved ones and our faith.

We had a wonderful whirlwind of a Thanksgiving. It was spent in Dothan with our families. THis was Anderson's first Thanksgiving and boy was he tired. He had to go to three family functions and he was so tired by the third one, we quickly ate and excused ourselves to put him to bed.

We went to my daddy and Mimi's house at lunch and spent time with my two aunts and uncles and my cousins, which was fun, because we haven't seen them in a long while.

Then we went to Adam's great aunt Juke and her husband's house(they have just moved back from North Carolina-why would you ever leave such a beautiful place?) we spent time with Nanny(Adam's grandmother), his mom, and his brother and wife Kelly.

Then we headed over to my aunt Kim and uncle Joe's house for Thankgiving with the Grinsteads, and EVERYBODY was there-too many to name.

Here is a picture of our family on Anderson's first Thanksgiving

Adam had to go to work the next day, so Anderson and I(well really just me, because Anderson doesn't make those decisions yet...)decided to stay one more day and shop with my momma.

Who knew I was such a cry baby! I cried when Adam left Thanksgiving night and wanted him to come and get us, I was ok, but I didn't sleep well and neither did Anderson( he was up 4 times).

Momma, Anderson and I went to Babies R Us and bought a few things and after standing in line for 35 minutes, we went to That Store, which is a kid's clothing store and Adam's parents were there, so Anderson got some precious outfits from them-thanks Nonny and Pappy!

After that, Anderson, momma and me headed to Chick-fil-A and to momma's to rest, we were tired!

Anderson SCREAMED the whole way home from Dothan to Montgomery, it was a very enjoyable experience...let me tell ya! He HATES his car seat and we are having to start getting on to him and tell him no, because mom says he's just throwing a ...dare I say it...temper tantrum!

If you're still reading, you're better than me, hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

By the way... look at our big boy sitting up:) (well kind of)
