We started the day with breakfast at Pepaw and Ann's house. Drew and Anna Kate enjoyed spending time with the Garners. They particularly enjoyed Pepaw & Ann's dog, Barney. Poor Barney spent most of the morning trying to get away from tiny hands. The weather was very nice and warm so after breakfast we got to spend some time outside digging through Pepaw's shed and swinging. Whenever there is a swing involved, it is a good day!
Breakfast time!
Smelling the flowers. We had to work to keep them out of the rose bushes.
Just swinging. It was so warm that they were actually hot in their cute little corduroy outfits.
We got to spend a couple of hours at Pepaw & Ann's but then had to keep the train moving. Aunt Teresa's house was our next stop. They weren't hungry when we got there so they hung out on the back porch with Tami and Papaw Tim for a while. After a quick and small lunch, they got right back to play time outside.
Anna Kate raided Mamaw's purse and of course, she found some "monies". She has the uncanny ability to come away with lots of "monies" when there are family events. I think between the two of them, they racked up over $10!
For some reason, I didn't get many pictures at Aunt Teresa's. I think it is because they took off outside as soon as we got there and I didn't see them much after that. Drew really enjoyed playing with his Papaw Tim. I think between the two of them, they drug him all over Aunt Teresa's huge yard. Twice!
And again, after a couple of hours there, the train left the station again. This time headed for DotDot and Grandaddy's house. The "Jones" crowd this year was the smallest I think it has ever been. Whitney and her boys were at Disney World and the Alabama/Georgia cousins didn't make the trip. It was still a good time. They fell asleep in the car on the way there. Anna Kate woke up as soon as we got there but Drew napped for about 30 more minutes in the car. Anna Kate enjoyed some one on one play time with cousin Nathan while Drew napped. She kept petting his hair. I'm still not sure what that was all about.
The lone rangers. We missed the other cousins!
We tried to have a Thanksgiving photo shoot after dinner.
As always, they were super cooperative.
Moving the pumpkins. I guess they didn't like the way we set up the scenery. He is starting to look so grown up. They both are looking more like little kids these days and not babies.
Aunt Ashley spent the night with us so John Clay and I could go shopping late Thursday/early Friday (by the way... never doing that again!!). Anna Kate & Drew were super excited to have Aunt Ashley come to their house but were pretty exhausted from the whirlwind day so they didn't get much play time with her. Thanksgiving 2012 sure was a great day!
