A Wonderful Thanksgiving

We've had a great time celebrating this Thanksgiving holiday. We went to Carlisle, MS (near Port Gibson) to see Matthew's family. His family celebrates at what was once his great grandparents' house. His family calls it "The Yellow House". No one lives in it, but everyone meets there for the holidays and family reunions. We ate the traditional Thanksgiving meal and it was delicious. We then headed to my parent's house to celebrate with my family. We had oysters and cheese grits. This was also delish! Emily Kay got to try sweet potato casserole and cranberry sauce. She did not like either one. Her expressions were priceless! She did enjoy all of the attention and decided to show off...she started crawling!

Looking sweet in her pumpkin dress.




Playing with her great grandma.


Crawling!



Her new "pose". She does this when taking a break. I find it hilarious!


Friday, mom and I shopped all day. I think this year's experience was so much fun. The rain kept the crowds from being too bad, and we got great deals and a lot of shopping finished. We're looking forward to Christmas! We're getting our tree tomorrow, it should be interesting trying to keep Emily Kay from destroying it.
