Thanksgiving

We spent most of the long holiday weekend at Greg's parents' house with his brother, sister in law and niece who came down from NY. Brayden really enjoyed getting to spend so much time with his "Mimi" (Grammy), "Bawpaw" (Grampa) and cousin "Nana"(Luciana), as well as Uncle Skip and "Titi" Bernadette. We started Thursday morning playing outstide in the leaves and then the 1st annual Parr family backyard football game was held. I observed from the sidelines, and trust me when I say it was pretty entertaining to watch!

Greg, Brayden and I ate Thanksgiving lunch with my dad's side of the family, so Brayden got to spend some time with his other girls too, Madeline, Lydia and "Gar-go"!  


After lunch, we went back to the Parr's for Thanksgiving dinner.  After two big meals in one day, we were definitely stuffed...everything was so delicious!  After dinner, Brayden and Luciana burned off a few calories by dancing to the jukebox (Brayden was a little camera shy and wouldn't do his moves while I was recording):


We had a great day spending time with both of our families, and reflecting on and giving thanks for the many blessings in our lives. We plan to round up our weekend tomorrow by going to Wilmington to visit with Catherine, Travis, Caroline and hopefully baby Avery in the NICU.  Avery is one of the many people we are so thankful to have in our lives this year!  She is such a little fighter, who has made slow, but steady progress in her first few weeks.  We pray that only continues in the weeks and months ahead!

It has been a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hope you find Wilmington as good as we did! Maybe we can see Brayden dance one day soon--when the camera if off. Luciana does have some dancin' genes, doesn't she? What a cute pair.

Luciana does have some good moves, looks like Brayden may learn a few from her. Enjoyed having y'all here, and we'll see you there this weekend!
