Thanksgiving Leftovers

It is fantastic that we have so many people we love in our lives that a one day holiday is stretched into a weeklong event, such was Thanksgiving.

We made it over to Mississippi for a day trip to see the Brown side of my family.  Recently our family has been filled with little boys.  Literally all the kids at this gathering of 75 are boys.  A group of 9 rowdy boys (I claim the 3 rowdiest).

I forgot the memory card for my camera and the only picture I got on my phone is unfortunately centered on a unnamed relative's backside. So no pictures from this year. {you're welcome}

Here is one from 2010, just add 2 years of little boy growth and baby J. Mason to the front. :)

Well my sweet niece Evie, broke the boy trend the day before Thanksgiving.  Admittedly the cross country trip was a bit too much to expect they day after being born, but none the less she kicked off the little girl trend with 2 more expected in the spring. 

{awwwwww}

Aren't they all just adorable? Can we talk about how it is killing me to be a country away from that little bit of darlingness? They are doing well all the way in California and someone else is collecting all my baby snuggles.  {sigh}

Back to Thanksgiving events...

On Saturday we had a Thanksgiving meal/Football view party with Jason's side of the family. Let's not talk about the football, on to Gammy's amazing casserole extravaganza that left us all stuffed, but it was worth it. 

It was a lovely relaxing time of just hanging out and enjoying each other's company.  Grandma and Grandpa Hermie even made the trip from Atlanta. 

Look out, McCay kids with sticks.  {they are quite the tough gang}

We finished our Thanksgiving celebrations with popcorn for dinner and Star Wars watching. {just right for our little family}

What an absolutely wonderful way to kick off the holiday season.  We are already looking forward to the fun times ahead in December.
