BEWARE: Super long post!

Boy did we have a busy Thanksgiving!! I must start off with my fun tid bit...we finally invested in a nice new Canon Rebel camera and I am TOTALLY addicted!!! It was an early Christmas present from Rhett (only he let me pick it out) and I am still like a little kid on Christmas, taking pictures all over the place. I have been taking pictures all over, trying out new settings and trying to figure out all of the 15 million buttons and options on it. I just LOVE it!!

Turkey day was a busy day for us! It began with Rhett deep frying a turkey which was DELICIOUS!!!

Then we packed up our stuff and went down to Tunica to spend time with Rhett's side of the family (his 3 uncles, 2 aunts, cousins, parents, and grandmothers) at his grandmother's house, which we always enjoy doing. Then by 3 we were off to my mom's to visit with my family and see my brother who came into town. I was so excited to finally see him after him being gone for a few months. I miss being around him, he ALWAYS makes me laugh! I think after we left my mom's around 8 it made for a long day and I decided that maybe next year we will stay home and anyone who wants to come eat with us can come on over. :)

Reese loves Catherine!!!












Last night I had my dad, brother and sister over for a Thanksgiving dinner. Long time since we've had a picture like this taken together...












I'm tellin ya...Reese loves Catherine and he loves to play with her. I'm so thankful that she likes to play with him too :) She swears she's never having kids...that's what my mom says I use to say.













OH....I failed to mention that we spent most of the morning yesterday putting out all of our Christmas decorations. I stayed in with Reese and put up the tree while Rhett went outside to do his light decorations (pictures of those have yet to be taken). Meanwhile, Reese was inside "helping" me put ornaments on the tree (his version of putting them on is throwing them into the tree). It was funny at first then not so funny when they started breaking. Oh, did I fail to mention the ornament he crushed while sitting behind the tree when I went in the kitchen to get some hooks? Yeah...here is proof of the damage (one of my fav's at that)...
So sad. But thankfully he didn't hurt himself. I can't even begin to describe what that ornament was made of..definitely not plastic or glass.

Just for fun :)
Now that I'm motivated to take more pictures...can you think about that? More pictures?! I know! My computer may not even hold all of the ones I have after awhile! I hope to become blogging more often...we'll see how that goes!
