Happy Thanksgiving to all...we have lots to be thankful for!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving...I was looking for a quote and came across this:


The thing is.....I am so busy that I sleep good at night but I still worry worry worry.....oh well, if I did not worry, I would not care I guess.

So we got an early kick off to decorating because my boys will be leaving me for most of the season. December 9 to the 21st to be exact! So here are the photos of our decorating:

Gavin loves my collection of snowmen. They all dance and play music. While decorating he had his chocolate milk, sat on top of the table, surrounded himself with them and kept pushing play over and over and over:

He calls everything Christmas "my Christmas"...example..."my Christmas tree" or "my Christmas snowman" or "my Christmas candy cane"....see below:

Almost there:

cheese.....

more to come on the decorations as we wrap things up.

Thanksgiving rolls around and here is Gavin ready to head over to my sisters:

and here are the photos of the family fun:

Gavin playing with the kids in the back yard:

Look how pretty the table was! I love the effort put in to making our meal so nice:

the adult table:

and the kids table:

the kids looking all gangster:

and the next day we make an attempt at family photos.....just a warning....this is not pretty...I included the good, bad and the ugly...

It was quite the adventure and I think we have a few photos we can live with. Surprising we make it though that adventure.

Next day...off to Largo to visit our friends Blake and Sandy. Her sister Carolyn and her husband and her father were there from Canada as well. First when we walked it, Sandy had a bag of goodies for Gavin as usual:

Then off to visit the beach for a bit:

Gavin just loved watching the boats from the window or the balcony:

How incredibly cute is he?

Then all of us off to dinner at a place called Gators:



It was so much fun!

That is the end of my photos and I would love to stay and chat but I AM SPENT.....We came back Saturday and I have been cleaning and doing groceries and trying to keep up with my little angel Gavin. He has been a maniac the past few days. In a good way of course....a good exhausting way. Next up...lots of festivities together with getting these boys packed up to go on the auto train a week from Thursday.......oh how I will miss them so much! They are so excited though.
