Thanksgiving Fun

We went down to Atlanta to have Thanksgiving this year with the Grover's.  Charlie and I flew down the weekend prior which marked his first plane ride!  After a three-hour delay in the terminal and no nap, it was not a roaring success but the way back was much better... having Dad there was very helpful.  We had a great week visiting with Grandma and Grandpa, Gigi, the Tweedy's and several friends who we were able to see.  Below are some pictures of our time there!

First up, the Pink Pig! Grandma insisted that we partake in this Atlanta tradition (one which we never as kids partook in) so we hauled it down to Lenox Mall and stood in line a good 45 minutes for the lamest little indoor train ride I've ever seen.  Charlie, however thought it was AWESOME.  I guess it was worth it then.

"Mommy, can we do it again?!?!?"

We conquered it!

While in town, we met some new little friends and hung out with some old ones.  Below are pictures of high school friend Jill's little girl Loren and Charlie.

Charlie finally being sweet after being possessive over his toys for the first 20 minutes.

We met other high school friends Amanda, her husband Mike, baby Adam and Drew in Decatur for lunch one day too.  Adam was a real sweetie and we had a great time catching up on our new baby lives (Drew's wife is due next year too!).

Below are just many of the gazillion other pictures I took playing at the house...
