Thanksgiving Dinner

With glazed ham, stuffing, broccoli, mashed potatoes......and cupcakes made with love :)

Our Thanksgiving

Well, we're all pooped, and two out of 5 are already asleep. Can you guess which 2??????? No, not those two. It's Addie and Bay! Daddy and Asher are working on his computer while I blog on mine. I'm making an effort to do this while here because I know the grandparents will want to see :). We started off our morning with a big breakfast made by daddy. Yum!! Then we went for a bike ride, and of course, down to the beach! The boys had a little game of football, then threw a little baseball, and Asher attracted the birds again (with goldfish of course). We had him stand with his hand out and a goldfish hoping one would grab it....at one point he got so distracted and a bird swooped right down and ate it out of his hand. Jody and I thought we were going to die laughing. Asher looked like he might wet himself and about freaked out! His back was to the bird because he was saying something to us. Needless to say, it was hilarious :).

Day 3-Continued

Beach Day 3

I recently took a camera class with the hope that I could better learn how to work my camera. I took lots of notes! This week I've been practicing....needless to say, I've got lots of pictures and a few really great shots. Most of these speak for themselves. :)

Thanksgiving Beach-Day 2 Continued

Beach At Thanksgiving-Day 2

It was all I could do to pack up and get out of town. There was just so much going on....teachers luncheon at school, laundry, gymnastics meet in Huntsville, laundry, pulling out Christmas decorations, packing, and did I mention.....laundry???? Anyway, I grabbed the bills, a calculator, and a pack of new checks and decided I would pay them once we finally settled in for the week. So, day 2 we woke up, paid the bills, and the twins and I rode bikes down to Rosemary Beach to mail them off. We discovered after Jody got here that it's about a 2 mile ride there (4 miles round trip)......not too bad for little legs, huh? They love to ride! And, well, mommy got a kick out of going into the Rosemary Beach post office and buying stamps. Wish I would have had some postcards...I would have sent them to you just so they would be postmarked from Rosemary :). Ahh....such is the dream of pretending I actually live here. Ha ha! Anyway, we had a great time after handling the bill stuff. A little stop in a place called the Sugar Shack (Candy Store), the toy store, lunch at a place called "Cowgirl Kitchen" (Cha Cha if we go back I'll get you a shirt!), and a ride back to hit the beach again. The first picture is the twins in front of the post office. The second is one I took while we were bike riding (I was actually riding too...why the pic is sideways...ha ha). A few pics of Alys Beach (between Rosemary and Seacrest Beach). Alys is so beautiful and white! They have their wreaths up for Christmas and I just think it's so beautiful. :)

Day 1 Continued....

The pool is heated.......yay!!! Before dinner with mom :). Dinner at the Taco Bar in Seaside (Chips and Dip of course!). After dinner Ice Cream....Yumm!!!!!

Thanksgiving At The Beach-Day 1

Pics from our 1st day at the beach. Who knew coming to the beach for Thanksgiving could be so much fun?! Seems like we're not the only ones who have the idea either. Apparently this is the last hooray for a lot of people and the locals see this as the last "in season" weekend. I would have thought it would have been sometime the first of September, but no matter. The weather has been beautiful and Daddy and Bay made it safe and sound. Check the other posts for more pics!!!
