Thanksgiving 2012

I can hardly believe Thanksgiving has come and gone.  Like always, our holiday was packed visiting family.  We started our day eating lunch at my Dad's.

Like normal, the women were in the kitchen,

and the men were in the den.

Not long after we ate, we had to leave so Brad could cook the turkey to take to his parent's for dinner.  I decided since I wasn't going to be with my mom's side of the family for Thanksgiving dinner that I would stop by there on my way back home.  I believe this was one of the best Thanksgivings the Gray family has ever had.

The boys decided they would decorate Aunt Al with toilet paper.

I am not sure how they were not dizzy when the finished, but they sure were proud of their finished product.

After Aunt Al was decorated, it was time to get MeMa's Christmas decorations out of the attic.  Well, this is what happens when you send some of the grandchildren in the attic.

They come out dressed in MeMa and Big's old clothes.

After I spent a couple of hours with that side of my family, it was time to go to the Bowen's for dinner.  Not only did we celebrate Thanksgiving, but we celebrated Brittany's 22nd birthday.

I can definitely say that after having two Thanksgiving meals I was one stuffed turkey!!  To work off some of the food that we ate, we all decided to play ping pong.

This is not the game for Taylor!!!

You know Thanksgiving would not be complete without Lesley and I heading out for Black Friday.  We left the house at 11:15pm and got back around 2:15am.  We slept for a few hours and were back out in it at 7:30.  It was worth getting back out to shop when you get to shop with these cuties.

Then it was time for some ECU football.

This was the best game we have had in a very long time.  We won in double over-time....what a way to end the season.  

Now, I am in full Christmas spirit.  I have started my shopping, the house is fully decorated and I have started watching Christmas movies on TV.  I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.  We all have so much to be thankful for!!!
