We had our Thanksgiving meal at my aunt and uncle's house. We had a great time being with cousins, grandmothers, and GaGa Carter. I am so Of course, I didn't get any of the cousins (Olivia and Hannah) with their grandmothers and great grandmother.
Having some yummy beans and sweet potatoes! Olivia is still not eating a lot of meat these days, so she didn't have any ham or turkey. Thanks Hannah for letting us borrow your high chair!
Olivia was the DJ while Hannah was going to practice her singing. This time next year, I can see these girls putting on a show together. They would need their other cousin Grace to help show them some great dance moves!
Shopping with her new shopping cart! She walked around and put everything in her cart. (This may be a bad habit that I am promoting....unless someone else pays for her future shopping sprees~hint, hint grandparents.)
Reading in her favorite chair at GaGa's! I love this picture!! We have so much fun reading together, but I love to see her take a book and go "read" to herself. Hopefully this will continue.
Here is Miss Priss out at dinner with Pop Frank. We were so glad that he and Phyllis were in town for the ballgame so we got to see them too. We went to a fabulous dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Thanks Pop! As you can see, she is writing for us ~ with her left hand. She uses that hand most of the time. I have more pictures from dinner, but my computer isn't cooperating....
Finally, here is one of our last visits while in Columbia. I was so glad that Olivia and I got to go see one of my oldest and dearest friends, Elizabeth and her boys. This was the best picture that I could get of our little ones (minus Stuart who was running an errand with his daddy). I didn't get a picture of Olivia trying to give the boys a kiss goodbye. It was too cute! We enjoyed our quick visit and look forward to seeing you all again soon!
As you can see, we had a great visit in Columbia. We are so very blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. We are truly thankful for these blessings. We only wish that we could have been with all of our family and friends. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
