Thanksgiving travels

I love this time of year. Anthony works so hard all year long and during Thanksgiving and Christmas he takes off so we can travel and visit with our families. Traveling as a family is so much fun! Tuesday we left Pensacola and drove to my family's lake house in Alabama. The yard was covered in leaves so what else is a 3 year old boy to do? Talk his Papaw into raking them into piles to jump into of course!

Aunt Blake enjoyed playing in the leaves also! Bryce loves my sister and is always asking her to do things with him, it is so sweet!
I had Christmas shirts made for the kids so we took some pictures in the leaves. The boys did great, but CeCe refused to smile, I think the leaves were way more interesting than me talking to her!

Thursday we went to Pine Level, AL to my Aunt and Uncle's farm where we always celebrate Thanksgiving. This year there were over 60 people there! It is always so much fun. Here is Bryce and Jude in their matching vests.
My wonderful family
CeCe's first hayride!


Bryce's cousin Harrison caught a fish and let Bryce reel it in. Bryce was so excited to tell us that he had caught a fish! There were 13 kids there under the age of 4!

Last year we got a picture of Bryce standing in this same place, he fit better then!
CeCe fit better by the small front tire....
Friday morning we drove to West Point to spend time with Anthony's family. The whole family was there and we were able to introduce CeCe to her Uncle Buddy, Aunt Misty and cousin Chandler for the first time. We watched the Iron Bowl--ROLL TIDE and then played outside some. Here is Kiki with all of her grandkids!
Daniel and Bryce have so much fun playing together. Their imaginations are great together!
Saturday Anthony and Bryce went over to Starkville to watch the Egg Bowl....WOW what a game!!!! GO STATE, GO STATE!! They had a blast and Bryce is asking to go to another football game! We drove home yesterday and are busy unpacking, washing and getting ready to do it all again......we leave Saturday for DISNEY WORLD!!!! Yeah!! We are going to be there Sat.-Thurs. I'll have a great post with tons of pictures by that next weekend.
--Bryce is sick again! I took him to the pediatrician today and he has another ear infection. This one in the other ear and it is actually a blister on his eardrum. The Dr. said they are very painful. Poor thing. CeCe and Bryce both have been so snotty for over a week now. I'm so ready for cold/flu season to be out of here! I'm praying we are all healthy for the week in Disney.

Hey! We're staying at the Polynesian. We will be the big obnoxious group of 18!!! We are going with my husband's whole family - it's our Christmas present from his parents. There will be 10 kids and 8 adults...I'm sure you'll be able to spot us! I haven't started packing, but I'm dreading it. Still watching the weather to see what the temperatures are going to be. What are you packing to wear? Any advice?
