Happy Thanksgiving!

For Thanksgiving this year, we had Jeremy's parents come to visit us. They stayed from November 18 through December 1st, so I think they got their fill of West Virginia and us! We had a wonderful time and Noah had lots of fun with his extra companions!







Thanksgiving Day was to be the last pleasant day of the year, I think. After watching some Macy's parade, Daddy and Papaw even took him to the park so that Mommy and Mamaw could finish getting lunch ready.

Our Thanksgiving table.

The apple pie.

The night before Thanksgiving, it is always the tradition that Debbie makes chicken and dumplings. This year, I found a chicken farmer from Renick who agreed to kill his "lazy hen" for us to use in the dumplings. Renick is a little bit of a drive, so these were some very special dumplings!

After naptime, it was over 60 degrees so we headed up to Beartown for a little hike around the boardwalk.

Here is proof that Papaw has actually changed a diaper in his life. Wet ones anyway. ;)

We celebrated Papaw's birthday while they visited! For some reason, Blogger keeps flipping this photo, even though it is correct when I upload it.

Mamaw and Papaw spent a night at the Greenbrier while in town and we joined them for dinner. This is Noah watching a video on Papaw's cell phone. He was a mess that night.

A lovely time was had by all. I even got my Christmas decorations up. Minus the stockings I can't find.
