Lilly and Mamie with their great-grandmother (Granny)
The girls with their great-grandaddy (Ladies--you can learn an important lesson from this picture and avoid wearing your bright blue Little Mermaid panties with your cream-colored tights!)
Aunt Kristin helping Lilly make hand turkeys for EVERYONE
Lilly and daddy
We spent Thanksgiving day at Jon's grandparents' house. There's always tons of great food and plenty of people for Lilly to show off for. I'm so thankful Lilly and Mamie have great-grandparents--I never knew any of mine. When we got there today I was afraid Lilly was going to have a total meltdown because her second cousins, Noah and Loren, who she LOVES weren't there this year. Jon and I had no idea they weren't coming, so we had talked it up the whole way there, telling her she was going to get to play with Noah and Loren. I won't make that mistake again--no talk of cousins until there is visual confirmation! She got over it pretty quickly and had PLENTY of attention from everyone else to take her mind off of it. Some of Jon's cousins and all of his brothers and sisters were there except for Zach and Kim who were in Huntsville with his family this year. Next year Lilly and Mamie will have a new little BOY cousin to play with!! Zach and Kim found out they're expecting a little boy in April. Lilly is so excited. When I ask her what is in Kim's tummy she says, "a tousin!" We're so excited to have a new addition to the family! We all have so much to be thankful for. I hope everyone had a happy holiday!

Looks like you guys had a blast! I've made the same mistake promising Grant we'd be seeing people just to find out they weren't coming. Grant missed class yesterday too! We had friends in from out of town that left Sunday morning...but stayed just long enough for us not to have time to get ready to get to church (or class).
Congrats to Kim! I am glad you guys had a great Thanksgiving. I hate we didn't get together, my fault...Love you!
