Thanksgiving Week

Posted 3/29/08.

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone and, in typical fashion, it was a busy one in the Talley house.

Sunday night, Daddy's friend Jack (with daughters Brittany, Jacey and Cassidy in tow) stopped in on their way from Texas to New Jersey. Despite Daddy pointing out to Jack that Atlanta was not on the way from Texas to New Jersey, they decided to come by anyway to spend the night. Kam and the girls got along famously and acted like old friends. While it is technically true (they first met when they were a couple months old), they haven't seen each other since before they were a year old. No matter, though.

Grammie and Bobo made it in from Texas at dinner time on Tuesday night and were SO excited to see their grandbabies. It's been a whole two months and they were chomping at the bit.

Daddy and Bobo played golf on Wednesday while the girls (and boy) finished up with Thanksgiving shopping and relaxed around the house.

Thursday was a day of gorging ourselves on an outstanding Thanksgiving dinner. Daddy roasted the turkey and stuffed it with an andouille/portobello/artichoke dressing that was out of this world and cooked the green beans. Mama handled the sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. Grammie made her cornbread dressing and Kamryn helped her made some pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese dressing. YUMMY! Mitchell was only able to drink milk but had no real complaints. Next year he'll be able to join us!

Friday, Grammie and Mama went shopping while Daddy and Bobo stayed home with the kids. Much "CSI: Miami" was watched, as was "Live Free and Die Hard".

Today, the Talley's went to have their pictures taken and, afterwards, went to the movies with Grammie and Bobo. The girls agreed on "Enchanted" and Daddy and Bobo put up little resistance. Mitchell handled his first movie theater experience like a CHAMP! Afterwards, it was wings, sweet potato fries and beer at "Buffalos".

Tomorow is Mitchell's baptism! Big day!!
