Thanksgiving is our first holiday together as a family after the girls go back to school in the fall.  We always make trips to Vandy and now UGA and of course Birmingham to visit and go to football games; but nothing is better than being together under one roof!  We start the festivities with our annual Macy's Parade Breakfast.  This year we had fun with family and friends.  There was food and something for everyone...coloring, horse shoes, croquet, trivia...did I mention there was a parade??

 

  

Claire made a new friend, Noah, and the two were inseparable all morning!

 

 

Breakfast, the parade, and even the dog show are long over and it's time to transition to the big turkey dinner.  We have our extended family with us every year and feel very blessed to be together once again, come what may!

 

 

On Saturday morning we went to the Yacht Club for breakfast and to take pictures for our Christmas card.  This year we honored our colleges! We had fun and took some great pics...only there was a smudge on the lens (you might have mistaken it for a halo over David and Nicole's head in the picture below;)

 

 

Back home we discovered the smudge on nearly every photo...but that doesn't stop us we simply have a do-over!

 

 

I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving!  I am looking forward to

blogging about our Christmas this year so stay tuned!
