busy thanksgiving weekend recap... a little late

Our Thanksgiving started out on Wednesday when Tripp and I ventured up to Birmingham to visit my grandparents. They had a ball watching him play and making him laugh. I did take some pictures with my other camera and I will post them later... Thursday we enjoyed a big Thanksgiving feast with the Whatleys. It was so nice outside so we played out there for a while. Tripp had to move to the front yard to avoid the turkey-frying setup and the six dogs in the back. He made sure to wave to every car passing by!

Tripp played so hard, he wasn't in the mood for lunch, but a nap instead. Later that afternoon he did enjoy some turkey to my surprise (he isn't the best eater). He also like the sweet potatoes!

Friday morning, I didn't get up as early as I have in the past, but I was at Toys R Us at 7:30. There were a few things Santa eyed in the sale ad that needed to be purchased. Tripp came along (it's not like he understands, yet...) in his pajamas and made quite a few friends. It was pretty crazy with some hard-core shoppers, but we got what we came for and got out! We visited with my parents since we missed them on Thanksgiving Day, and Tripp new favorite thing at their house is this radio. He knows how to turn it on and dances along to the music. My mom got this video and it's pretty hilarious.



Saturday we woke up and got ready for the big game. Although Lee was pretty excited with the outcome, I was pretty disappointed. I mean I figured Bama would win, but a blow-out, seriously!?!? At least we were in good company and Tripp had a great time playing with his friends Lila, Ella Jane and Price. I didn't have my camera, but I would have got some cute pictures if I did!

Sunday Tripp had a birthday party for his bff Price at the church. He had a lot of fun playing on the slide and playing with lots of friends. During the party Tripp and Ella Jane made a break for the life-size nativity set. Ella tried to ride the cow and the lamb, too bad they didn't budge.






We ended the weekend celebrating Lolli's (Lee's mom) birthday too. What a busy five days we had. I love spending the whole day with Tripp when he's out of school and I am off work. We pretty much go non-stop. I finally got to rest at work on Monday!! Now it's time to decorate for Christmas, hopefully we can do that this weekend! Oh and the gas prices are still dropping! At the Ztec this morning, I filled up for $1.59 a gallon!!
