NC Thanksgiving continued...

We had a great time at Thanksgiving in Charlotte and Mooresville! It felt a little different to all of us because it was smaller than what we were used to but we had a wonderful time and enjoyed spending this Thanksgiving together in NC!
It started out with us driving to Charlotte. Look at this stylish driver:
When we arrived in Charlotte, the cooking had finished but we had to get the cooks with their masterpieces!



Before we ate our delicious meal, the 24 year-old "taught" the 21 year old how to open a bottle of wine! Meg and Elise were able to pull the cork out without the help of the boys! (But one did sneak into the picture.)

After we ate our wonderful meal (it was so good... the crescent rolls were my favorite!), Meg came up with the fun activity for us to do! She put each of our names in a bag. We drew a name out and then shared what we were thankful for about the person we drew.


Then we all took a wonderful nap and headed over to the Mooresville house. We looked at all the updates made (it looks great!) and reminisced about past memories (maybe being dressed up like a girl?). Meg and Elise even went down to the basement... just for you Chrissy! The other picture was taken on the stone wall next to the driveway. We are wondering what cousin, parent, or grandchild will fall off of this wall from playing...

We then ate our wonderful desserts of pumpkin roll, cherry pie, and pumpkin pie! They were scrumptious! During dessert, we all had different sized chairs and this picture made all of us laugh very hard!

After dessert, we headed to the movie theater to watch "Four Christmases"! Which we all enjoyed and found very hilarious! We all in NC enjoyed spending time together but truly missed the rest of our family who was celebrating in different areas around the world! We love you all!

*There were many other great pictures but only so much room to put them all!*

How you like this blog addition? NC Thanksgiving cont... It was a family participation. Jim down loaded the pictures and posted them in the blog space. Elise typed the comments in the blog space...and I provided both of them w/ my sign-in name and password!!! Oh yeah, Paul was just in the pictures--he stayed in Charlotte to visit with Meg. Oh well...it's still a family affair!!!

We had a wonderful time!
