Thanksgiving 2008

We took advantage of the long weekend and went on vacation to Augusta, GA. We finally got to see Anna & Toby's beautiful new home (that they've been in over a year now). Our kids did pretty good on the 6 hour drive up and had tons of fun playing with their cousins.Wesley loved being around so many other boys. He experienced football and legos. Carlise got to play princesses with Talia and have a playmate her exact size. Josie & Kaiya played really well and were very curious about each other.

I finally met the infamous Tina to put a face with the name (and fun). We got to meet Tina's great husband, Alan, as well as all of their cute kids. Among other things, Tina brought this awesome squash casserole that I have to get the recipe for (hint, hint). The Thanksgiving spread was absolutely wonderful! So much food and pies and I don't even think I got to try everything.

Anna & I even went shopping on friday. We took the nursing babies with us and we did really well, got some great stuff, and had fun. Now if only the lines hadn't been so long. yeah, right.

We attended church with them and they have a cute little branch. Carlise & Wesley loved being in nursery with Sister Timmons. She is an awesome nursery leader! And the people were very nice and could tell at a glance that Anna & I were sisters. Well, all except that one woman that thought Anna was my mother! I know I don't look that young and Anna doesn't look old enough, there's only an 8 year age difference between us. LOL

We packed up and left after church. Why does it always take longer to get home then it does to get there? It seemed like there was road construction everywhere and our 4 lane was reduced to 2. And there were 2 accidents on 2 different highways that caused stop and go, sometimes a standstill traffic. We enjoyed our vacation, but we are very glad to be back in our home especially after the 8 hour return trip. But we could do it again, after a few months break.
