Thursday morning we drove over to Orlando. The first stop was my Uncle Greg's & Aunt Melissa's. They had a nice brunch prepared & Addison had a lot of fun running around outside with her 4 & 6-year-old cousins, Sam & Gregory.
Here's a four generation photo, all first-borns, all girls! My grandmother, my mom, me, & Addison.
After that we went to my Uncle Roger's & Aunt Kim's. We weren't able to stay long, but I was there long enough to snap a picture of the head of their table:
That's my Uncle's seat. I told you liking ketchup to the extreme was normal in my family.
We went to my parents house for a relaxing afternoon & then headed over to the Sherwood's for a BIG Thanksgiving meal. It was so delicious, just like always.
Addison was in heaven with all of those people around, I barely saw her all night! Depending on her mood she just loves crowds & is such a social butterfly - there are very few situations where I'm not chasing after her trying to keep up with her socializing! She didn't really know anyone there that night but that didn't stop Addison from going up & asking people to hold her or climbing up to sit next to them while they ate.
Friday was a total day of rest. My mom & I did go out for a morning coffee & to window shop at Target. I couldn't believe how few people were out, it felt like a normal size crowd for Saturday shopping, not Black Friday.
Saturday morning we stayed for Andrew's wedding & we left Addison at my parents. I know she was thrilled about that since she could really care less about us when she's with them!
I've known Andrew since I was four & I was so glad to get to see him get married! It was such a sweet ceremony & they are just such an adorable couple.
We came home & I mostly crashed for the rest of the day while Ray ventured out to play soccer.
Yesterday evening we went to Ray's grandmother's for Thanksgiving leftovers. It was also Addison's birthday & she had several gifts to open. She totally loved it & kept asking for more to open! It wasn't because she wanted toys (she only got one, the rest were adorable clothes) she just loves to open things. She's always bringing me stuff from around the house & asking me to open it for her. So opening gifts made her day, regardless of what was inside. Although, she is such a girl & did comment that the clothes were "cute."
Today I'm hoping to get my Christmas & Winter decorations out. I did take down my Autumn decorations Saturday night so my house is in a bit of disarray!
