Thanksgiving and Thankful

I was so thankful to have spent Thanksgiving with my mom, lee, michele/tyler, the kids, and andrew. We had so much fun for the week in Watercolor/Seaside. Andrew and I flew in the Birmingham and rented a car to drive down to Florida. We loved our car, the great "love bug." During the week we played on the beach, swam in the pool with the kids, made a little Christmas art, ate GREAT food (thats a given), and soaked up all the time I could with my favorite two little ones.

It was nice to get away for awhile. I have not seen Tyler or Ellie in 10 months (way to long to keep me happy) so it did the heart good when I walked in and tyler just blushed till he was red in the face and hugged me so tight. I was happy for the rest of the week after that sweet hug and after getting Ellie up from her nap. They are growing up so fast. Ellie is a sweet little sass. Its so fun and precious.

Michele and Tyler making a Christmas pottery plate.

Obviously we were a little more excited than he was but the plate turned out to be precious!

We sat by the pool, ate lunch, ate too much, enjoyed ice cream, and bloody marys
