Thanksgiving 2012

We originally thought that Granddaddy had to work this Thanksgiving and he is the one who usually makes our turkey.  So, we made plans to have Thanksgiving at Mish's house and Thomas would make the turkey.  He smoked one and deep fried one.  They were both delicious.  Everyone else brought dishes to go along with the turkey.  Mish decorated for Thanksgiving with the help of Pinterest and had pretty tables ready for us when we arrived.  Granny had made some decorations as well and brought lots of treats for everyone. We got there just in time to see Santa Clause arrive at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  It was a beautiful day outside and the kids wanted to be out there most of the time.

After lunch, we were able to come back home and we had a short family nap before we got ready and left for our Thanksgiving dinner at Nanny's house.  And, as per tradition, we had tacos for dinner.  Caleigh ate chicken tenders that Nonnie brought for her.  I taught Caleigh how to play checkers and we played an entire game together.  Chad took the Kinect and played video games with his cousins.  Chad's aunt and I began a game of pool, but since we were both self-proclaimed horrible players, we didn't finish the game.
Caleigh left that evening and went home with Nonnie.  Chad and I began our Black Friday shopping that night and finished in the early morning hours of Friday. 
Caleigh took pictures at Nanny's house.  Most of them were bad or blurry but these two came out ok!

Thanksgiving 2012 was done!
