Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving! Thursday morning we jumped on the road (which was empty...thanks to everyone who left on Wednesday!) and headed up to Knoxvegas. The girls enjoyed watching "The Muppet Movie" and "Charlotte's Web" while we traveled. I love having a DVD player in the van! We made great time and arrived in plenty of time for the big meal.

My fav McNay Thanksgiving treat is homemade egg noodles...they are heaven in my mouth! Hadleigh enjoyed her first Thanksgiving meal. This was the first year that she did not nap through it.

Aunt Angie and the cousins all came over later in the day. Annelise crawled around attaching herself to everyone, while Hadleigh stuck close to Dave and I...she is shy, or at least puts on a good shy-show.

Friday we went to The Fantasy of Trees, which is a fundraiser for Children's Hopsital. There were hundreds of decorated trees, a carousel, little crafts for the kids, a sing-along (with some very bad singers...yikes), and Santa. We had a wonderful time with the girls. We did a couple of crafts, rode the carousel, looked at tons of trees.

Dave got in some fishing with buddies on Friday afternoon and Saturday, while the girls got in some good Grandma and Grandpa time. Dave and I even got out a couple of the nights alone. We saw the movie Australia, which was super fun. I am trying to think about the last movie I saw in the theatre...it's been since July.

All in all, it was a wonderful holiday.
