Over the river & throught the woods....

We had a fun trip around the state visiting family for Thanksgiving this year. We started with a few days in Memphis and had 2 Turkey dinners. Although by the looks of these pictures we lived in fast food joints. Here's Miles with PawPaw in the "classic" McD's in Cordova.And with PopPop after a play land lunch at Chick-fil-A. Even Audrey made it up through the steps and down the slide.We were so excited to see our Great Grandmas!
And Aunt Megan! oh , and Uncle Kyle too. Kyle's really glad Miles is entering the age of Legos.... man those things took over Kyle's room when he was a kid. We loved seeing their new house. I got some house envy seeing their awesome back yard and attic (!). And we got to meet their new doggie, Molly. Such a cutie.
Then is was on to Nashville for Thanksgiving day. This was the first year we made a point to watch some of the parade, and I think the kids liked it. Cousins Kate & Evan came over to play and eat.
Although they look enthusiastic, I don't think the boys ate much besides turkey. Miles wouldn't even try the cranberries, sweet potatoes or pears. I tried to explain that it was dessert for lunch, but he didn't care.
Audrey refused to eat at all, until Kate came along and fed her. They were both in heaven. Audrey being fed by her big cousin, and Kate having a real live baby to feed.
Now we're home and ready for Christmas! We've got the tree up and some decorations in some other rooms. Our Elf from the North Pole (named Broderick) showed up yesterday after a rough morning. Santa thought he should come keep an eye on things. Miles wrote his very first letter to Santa and Broderick took it back to the North Pole. This morning Miles woke up to a letter back from Santa and a candy cane! Miles asked for two things, a Bat Cave and the Robin Hood movie. I think Santa will be able to make him happy on Christmas morning!
