Thanksgiving Week

11/29/15
We were lucky enough to get to spend an entire WEEK in Virginia for Thanksgiving.

We left around 5 on Friday night and drove until we got there.  Bruce slept pretty much the whole way.  Kate is not much of a car sleeper these days, but she did so well and was pretty happy to get to watch her shows on the ipad.

Bruce got an ear infection a day or 2 before we left so he was definitely feeling under the weather and was not a very good sleeper in Cville (we resorted to buying him a swing while we were up there!)

Poor thing had to do some breathing treatments (like sissy like brother!)

He did catch a pretty good nap in his jumper...


Saturday we went to Scott Stadium to cheer on the Hoos.  Kate's first football game was a UVA game (in a suite! setting the bar high..)

MRG was one happy guy.

Monday we got to have a sweet visit with the McNerneys and Ingrahams.  We finally got to meet our sweet new baby girl Pennie.  We are all smitten with those sweet cheeks.


So amazing and fun to have my babies playing with my lifelong best friend's babes.  There just ain't nothing better than that.
Love my Nern and her sweet girls..


All these babes.
Poor Bruce- destined to be tormented by these ladies for sure!


We had some more fun visits with lifelong friends throughout the week.  The Woods, the Lucks, the Greers... I'm terrible and didn't take any pictures.  Loved every second of seeing all of yall though.  

The rest of the week was mostly spent relaxing and enjoying time at the house..


Of course there was Bodos



Then, before we knew it, it was already Thursday and time for 30 people to gather at our house and pig out. Check out this table!


Nothing better than childhood memories and stories from these guys... Never a dull moment with the Guthrie crew.

I think Kate has a new favorite holiday...  This girl can put away some food!




After dinner, we all headed outside to enjoy the beautiful warm weather.  Wrigley even got some attention and was pretty happy about that!



Kate and baby Jack were pretty obsessed with cousin Jack and pretty much followed him everywhere.  Love having some free baby sitting! :)


Sweet little turkeys...


Love this crew oh so much and was so grateful to spend Thanksgiving with them.


We spent the last few days soaking up time with family and enjoying every minute of it.
It was fabulous weather so we headed to the park




while the rest of the crew played golf.

It was a great week...
Way too many cocktails, so much good food, and fun and laughter with my family.



Our last night we enjoyed one last bath with our sweet cousin


and lots of snuggles with DiDi and MRG


Then we hit the road Saturday am.

Tired babes were just the sweetest in the car.




Back to Georgia... Back to reality.

Thanks for a great week DiDi and MRG!  Until next time C'Ville!
