While Whit and I were on our cruise my mom and dad and Kylie came and stayed with the girls. They had such a fun time. I am pretty sure the girls didn't miss us a bit. Jaynie and Lillie were able to skip school and go on a field trip to a Civil War site in Appomattox, Virginia. The night before Thanksgiving my Aunt Marcy and Uncle Kevin came down to see my mom and dad and be here for Thanksgiving dinner. I stole this collage of their adventures from my mom's blog. It looks like they had a lot of fun.
It was so nice to come home from our cruise and have my mom and dad here. It made coming home from vacation really exciting. It was also dreamy to walk in the door to a Thanksgiving dinner made by my mom. I haven't had that for 6 years. We had a great night visiting and catching up. I was so glad Kevin and Marcy were able to come down. I love having my house full of guests on a holiday. Kevin and Marcy had to go home first thing Friday morning, I think we kicked them out a little early since we were trying to get the house ready for a showing that morning-UGH!!! I was sad to see them go, but they had guests coming to their house and needed to get back. The rest of us just had a lazy day. We did take everyone to the mall so the girls could get their Christmas presents from Grams and Gramps at Build-a-Bear. They were pretty excited, but Grandma wrapped them and made the girls wait until Christmas to get them.
On Saturday we did our annual Christmas tree hunt in the mountains. This is one of our favorite North Carolina traditions, so it was special to have my mom and dad here to do it with us. I think they really enjoyed it. We got a really great tree this year. It was huge. Here are some photos of the trip.
