A Georgia Thanksgiving

Yesterday morning, about 7am, we loaded our van (Yeah a van! Last week we purchased a Toyota, Sienna which has been, without being too dramatic, life changing. I have wanted a van since having Everett and I feel so blessed we've finally been able to make this upgrade-a much smoother trip!)......anyways, we headed to Athens, Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with Eric's family. We had prepped Everett with how to say "Happy Thanksgiving" and we named all the family members we would see there. He was very excited! We also taught him what a turkey says, "gobble gobble." I just love his sweet little toddler voice (unless he is defying me and saying "no!").

At first Everett was a little apprehensive around his cousins Zeke and Daniel, but he warmed up in no time.

They were both apparently very interested in something here.

Handsome boys. Hampton did not take a nap the entire time we were there! We definitely paid for that on the drive home.

Zeke is ready to eat!

Is he a turkey or a Ham!?!

Hampton enjoying a snack while we ate. He is getting much better at picking up puffs and cheerios.

Everett on the other hand did not want to eat much. He was too busy to eat.

Uncle Jason is almost a celebrity in Everett's eyes. He just loves him.

After lunch we did some outside play. Everett had fun playing with this little car.

Eric also tried to teach him to ride a scooter. He did surprisingly well for a 2 year old.

Zeke took us on a "tour" of the neighborhood and checking out this tractor and steamroller was one of the stops.

The cousin train.

Everett playing on the swing set with the boys.

Hampton was just wiped out by the end of the day.

Family. The only one missing is Gigi, who took the picture!

With full bellies (I think I had two slices of pumpkin cheesecake and dirt cake!) we headed home. Everett instantly fell asleep and Hampton pretty much cried the whole way. Halfway through the trip Everett woke up and started to quietly babble. We listened closely and we figured out he was recounting all of the events of the day. I guess he had a good time. So sweet my little boys.
