Thanksgiving

We had a great visit with the McSwains for Thankgiving.  They had had thier fill of our kids for the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving.  They had Mac for a week by himself while we were having our kitchen floors replaced in Memphis.  They then had Madison Claire for a week between Thanksgiving and the State Championship game.  The kids had such a great time.  We are so thankful they have such great grandparents on both sides who love spending time with them!

Buddy hates getting his hair cut - seriously screams the entire time when we take him but Gary sent this picture while he was in Nashville.  Apparently all he needs is Papa's lap!

 We took Madison Claire to the movies to see the Jack Frost movie and while we were there, she was excited to see a poster of "Master-tooey". Side note - she randomly started talking about "Master-tooey" several months ago. She would pray for him at night every night and for the life of us we could not figure out who she was talking about. I decided that it might be an imaginary friend because her friend Grayson was talking about an imaginary friend in his attic around this time but ended up giving up on figuring it out. Well...fast forward a few weeks and we got a birthday invitation in the mail that had the little green eye ball from Monsters, Inc. on it. She immediately smiled and said "Master-tooey". I was so relieved to finally know what she was talking about!!

During Thanksgiving, we celebrated my 32nd birthday. We had Calypso for lunch, did some shopping at Green Hills mall, and Ryan and I went to Park Cafe for dinner. It was a great day and once again, I was overwhelmed thinking about how blessed we have been the past year.
