thanksgiving week

It was the Mays' family Thanksgiving this year and everyone, except Beka who is coming home from Mexico Friday!, was in Gainesville. We had a great, exhausting, but great time! There were 10 adults and 7 kids under 6 years old!

Linda woke up with a stomach bug Thursday morning which meant Jessica and I were in charge of all the food. It was super yummy, if I do say so myself, but geez louise is that tough work! After naps we went to the park down the street to work off all that turkey :) Micah fell in love with the scooter and helmet and rode it all the way there by himself, rode around the tennis courts the whole time, and then rode it all the way home. It was immediately put on his Christmas list!

The rest of the kids, and adult type kids, spent their time playing on the play ground and timing themselves running around the cement circle that in closed the playground. Very humorous!

Instead of shopping on Black Friday Linda, Jess, Zach and I took all the kids to Monkey Joe's. It was a hit! Micah was a little more hesitant this time but I think it was because there were a lot more kids there. Connor, our little daredevil, went down the HUGE slide all by himself. He couldn't climb the stairs along though so at least one of us had to go with him every time. Sadly he was much braver about it than I was. After a pizza lunch we watched the Iron Bowl, WAR EAGLE!, then I spent the next little bit taking care of Micah who caught the stomach bug that had already hit 3 other people in the group. Since the family is only going to get bigger we all need to prepare ourselves for more exhausting, yet super fun holidays together!
