thanksgiving recap

i thought i'd take a break from all the holiday family sessions, and share a few personal pictures from thanksgiving day at my grandparents'. we normally go there every year, and as always, we filled ourselves to the brim with an unbelievable assortment of maw-maw's food... ham, turkey, gravy, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, a sweet potato dish that tastes like it should be a dessert, deviled eggs, biscuits, cranberry sauce, and 5 or 6 cakes and pies. and sweet, sweet, glorious tea.
it's better than coke. :)

of course there are no pictures of any of the food because i was either too busy feeding the kids or eating it myself.  but i did manage to take some pictures after lunch, when a few of us went out for a walk.

here's one of the many birdhouses in my grandparents' back yard. paw-paw has fashioned a whole slew of them - there's nothing fancy about them, but i still think they're adorable...

my sis and lucy...

 

cute sis...

cute cousin...

 i remember we used to sit on these when i was little, when they were still shiny...

my cousin found this along the property a while back, and paw-paw thought it would be funny to put on his shed. lucy couldn't quite figure out what was going on here...

and on that note, happy monday everyone!
