Thanksgiving Festivities!

We had a great thanksgiving...and being that it was Braden's first holiday extravaganza made it all the more special.

We started the morning - quite early might I add - heading down to south (of course with a stop for a fun holiday coffee drink!) with our first stop at Jesse's Mom's. We got there in the late morning and were able to mingle and then have an early dinner with them. It was amazingly hot outside...when we left our house it was super cold, so we bundled up and were pleasantly surprised when we got there to wish I was in capri's and a tank!! We got to spend some time with Jesse's great aunt and it was great since we never really get to chat with her when we are family get togethers...so for both of us it was nice to see her too. We then ventured off to Jesse's Dad's house where we ended up being there just in time for the best cheesecake I have ever had ~ some guests of theirs brought it from the Cheesecake factory and let me tell you that I did some damage to that cake! It was soooooo yummy! They put a piece of cheesecake and then a slice of pumpkin pie on our plate...and I think Jess got about 2 bites in on the cheesecake before it just vanished! Ha! We got to spend some time there, hang out, relax, and catch up...it was great to see everyone and it's amazing that before we knew it, it was time for Braden to go down to bed. We then headed to my parents house...Braden ended up waking up to party for a short time and then off to bed. We were just exhausted and needed the following day to recover! We had a leisurely rest of the weekend. We had a wonderful time visiting with everyone!!
OH, OH check out the ADORABLE red beanie my Grandma made for Braden - she is officially Braden's personal hat fashion designer!
Thanks Great Grandma!!!!
