Giving Thanks On Thanksgiving

Giving Thanks On Thanksgiving Day

We were so blessed to be able to spend Thanksgiving with both of our families.. We first went to my sister's house. She came in from Savannah two days early just so we could spend Thanksgiving together. She did such an excellent job hosting dinner and entertaining! Thanks Krysten and Gus for having us in your home.. I know we all enjoyed spending time with you guys!

Tucker and Jacob playing together.. haha More like Tucker playing and Jacob observing!

This is actually Jacob's dinner chair- We take it everywhere so he can sit and watch everything going on with the *big kids*..

Mimi and Tucker playing together..

This was a lucky shot! The moment we try to take pictures they look or wiggle away! ha

 The Hedrick Crew!

Everytime a group of the Hedricks get together we take one big family photo- (It is always on a timer so it takes several shots to get a good one.. haha sorry Jacob, you were not looking in any of them!)

I was so busy during the visit with both families that I did not take very many pictures.. notice ONE of me! ha As you can see we enjoyed the company and had fun visiting with the family!
