My beautiful niece and handsome nephew

I was lucky enough to talk these two into letting me take some pics of them.

Big Canoe Thanksgiving Trip

We spent Thanksgiving in Georgia this year.  We drove out there last Saturday and after some traffic issues (U of Alabama game traffic - dislike!!) we rolled into the folks place at 11:30 ish.

On Sunday, we met some of our favorite people for lunch.  The kids got to hang out with their oldest friends (love you Ross boys) and I got to catch up with two of my best friends!

Later that afternoon we took the boys to see the Falcons play the Titans at the Dome.  We had great seats and it was a fun game.  Much better than freezing your tush off at Fulton County Stadium but I digress.

On  Monday, Mr. T, the boys, and I headed up to Big Canoe.  We rented a house close to the golf course and it was AMAZING (http://www.vrbo.com/318013).  We highly recommend it if you are ever in the area.  My parents, sister and her kids joined us on Tuesday and the fun continued!

We hiked.  We ate.  Mr. T and GT golfed.  We hot tubbed.  We ate some more.  We walked up a bunch of stairs at Amicalola Falls and then had a yummy lunch in Dahlonega.  We had fabulous margaritas from my new Margaritaville Margarita machine (thanks Mr. T).  It was so wonderful!!!

On Friday, we hugged and kissed everyone good-bye (lots of tears shed on my part) and headed home.  The ride home was smooth and uneventful!  Even though we planned on stopping somewhere along the way, we decided to push through and boy were we happy to sleep in our own bed.

Here are some picture highlights - enjoy!

San Antonio Half Marathon

Mr. T and his sister, Aunt T, ran the half marathon in San Antonio this weekend.  We went down on Saturday and took Aunt T to the Alamo because she has never been before.  We had a yummy Italian dinner and then called it a night.

On Sunday, we caught up with Mr. T at mile 10 but we were super bummed that we missed him at the finish line.  He was too fast for us :).  We all cheered Aunt T on as she headed up the hill at mile 13.  They both did great at the race and the boys and I were happy we were there to cheer them on.

Here are some pictures of the runner and their biggest fans:

# 5 & 6

I am thankful for sports - my kids sports to be more exact.

I am also thankful for my bed - after 6 games over 13 hours it is AWESOME to climb into your own bed :)

#4

I am thankful that I found a cute winter hat that actually fits my ginormous head and big hair :)

#3

I am thankful for my parents who are, I swear, busier than us :)

Thankful

I know this is more of a Facebook thing but I think I will post my "daily thankfuls" on our blog instead.  I'm a day behind so today I will be thankful for 2 things :)

#1 - My hubby who is always there with a sympathetic ear.
#2 - Good music that motivates me to clean and run!
