Thanksgiving...

We spent Thanksgiving in West Memphis with my family.  It was a laid back time with family and friends....and a lot of good food and black Friday shopping!  

Gigi was ahead of the game with her Christmas decorating...so it may look like we were celebrating Christmas, but it was really Thanksgiving!

lots of family game time and playing with friends....one of my favorite things about getting together over the holidays!!
