After the grand feast we enjoyed some pie and then decided to go to the new James Bond movie. Mom stayed home with the little ones and the rest of us went and enjoyed the flick! It was fun and we hadn't been to a movie on Thanksgiving Day for a long time so it was a fun outing. After the movie we "Web camed" with Adam 's family and then headed to Morehead for the rest of the weekend.Adam's shoulder was bothering him for most of the weekend, but he was a great sport nonetheless. Mom and I went to Wal-Mart for a few doorbusters for the grandkids at 4:45am. Although we weren't the first ones inside we were the first ones in line and out the door with everything we went for. A much better experience then camping out at Best Buy a couple of years ago:)
My favorite activity was a tradition that my family did growing up, and that is going to the tree farm and cutting a live tree! It was great this year because it wasn't freezing cold! We chose a White Pine this year and it turned out to be a real beauty! Jackson slept during the "hunting" part and we woke him up for the end once we had found it and when it was time to shake out all the dead needles and tie it up to take it home. Thanks mom and Dad for such a fun memory and for such a wonderful tree!!
Mom and I went to the Morehead Conference Center to see the Christmas trees that had been decorated and donated to Rowan County Christmas. Santa happened to be there so we decided to see what Jackson would think... typical--totally scared! He did much better when me and mom sat with him and he could just stare at him:)
Jackson got to have Wagon Wheels at Grandmas for the first time!
Jackson DOES know how to smile without his mouth wide open!!
Jackson loved playing with Grandma and Grandpa! Thanks for such a fun weekend!!!
