Anyways, when we arrived in south GA, we were met by the delicious aroma of lunch. And I'm talking, a gourmet feast. Home-baked turkey, two types of beans, rice, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, cut up fresh vegetables, roasted potatoes/carrots, cranberry sauce, rolls, and sweet tea. Holy cow. We stuffed ourselves completely. Luckily, we went to the park that afternoon to run off some of that food. For dinner, we had leftovers from lunch. We hung around with his dad the rest of that day and crashed pretty hard.
Enjoying dinner.
The next day (Thanksgiving!), we woke up to a gourmet breakfast. Then, we headed over to Stephen's cousin's house to hang out with him and his wife, jump on their trampoline, play with toys, and catch up. His other cousin & his wife both had the flu (the wife was in the hospital with the flu and kidney stones and is pregnant! uggh!) , their daughter was being quarantined at the other grandparents' house, and his aunt was sick with a fever, too. It was a rough week for them! So, we unfortunately didn't get to see as many people as we would've liked. We all (healthy cousins included) went back to Stephen's dad's house for another big home-cooked meal. This time, it was ham and lots of other vegetables. Again, stuffed. I even took an hour nap after lunch! We hung out the rest of the night, watched tv, and called it a night.
attempting a sleepover with all three!
20 minutes later, the only one still up was P-man.
ahhh, success!
We woke up Friday morning, ate a bite, and then hit the road. Luckily, we didn't hit any traffic- though we did pass about 15 police cars. Very glad we got home safely.
I have so much to be thankful for. It's so easy to take things for granted, but I try to treasure and thank God every day for my dearest blessings. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody!!!
There was a note on our door when we got home.
Mr. Elf is back!
Teaching her baby bro all about the elf.
