Oh my, we finally made it to Fairhope and no Adelaide did not sleep the majority of the way like we had hoped. In fact, she fell asleep around Pensacola about an hour away which meant lots of entertainment by the parents. Not the easiest ride for the Mom in the car as I was sick, sick, sick which is why there will not be a single picture of me on this post.
Preston and Adelaide were getting all geared up for the weekend on Thanksgiving morning. Nothing like a bowl of cereal to start the weekend eating contest.
Adelaide and Preston enjoyed this adventure, I on the other hand was waiting for bruises and crying which thankfully didn't happen.
Craft project with GG, the kids each got to decorate their own cup for the weekend. Funny thing was that we still had to ask which was which the entire weekend.
Assigned seating that the boys weren't happy about because they couldn't sit next to baby Adelaide. We are trying to figure out how old she will be before she isn't Baby Adelaide anymore.
Post dinner cruise on the golf cart
The afore mentioned cups.
Grayson the fire bug.
lounging next to the fire pit on the Gasbarro's Pottery Barn feeling patio, all we were missing were the dangling lights.
This was the first night I have really seen Adelaide make any attempt to crawl up on anything. The kids were absolutely wild jumping all over each other and the bed.
Messing with Uncle Grant is like messing with Sasquatch because this happens...see below.
The weather in Fairhope turned cold and rainy, but we started to get cabin fever and made a break for downtown Fairhope. Such a cute place to walk and shop. We didn't buy anything note worthy, but it wasn't for a lack of trying. If only I wore a size 8.5 instead of a 9 shoe.
There wasn't any Black Friday shopping this year, the Sewell tradition came to an end. Our typically Thanksgiving is spent looking at the sale fliers for Friday and we have perfected the order and manner in which this happens. No one gets it except for us and I think that's part of the fun.
Long weekend cut short, Adelaide was entertained by her cousins, I was sick and tired and Grant was able to enjoy his favorite past time, golfing with his dad. This Thanksgiving reminded me of college. Every year at this we were all finishing up tests in our classes and started to prep for finals. The weather in Tennessee was usually rainy, getting cold and I think all of this with the stress of having to drive 8 hours home made me sick every single year. It seemed as though no matter what I did I could never escape the sickness and this year the tradition carried on. I'll blame it on weather and stress of an acquisition at work.
On our way home Sunday Adelaide slept almost the entire way. Thank goodness because Grant and I were too tired to play!
So until next years Turkey Day, gobble gobble and thank you to my in-laws for a great weekend.
