gone country

ellis has gone country! we went to mississippi the day before thanksgiving...just for the night. my mom's brother lives there and all of her family (she has 9 brothers and sisters) celebrates there every other year. i left the tiny devil at home...i am not willing to sit in a car with him for 5 hours...two days in a row :) anyways...ellis was introduced to hunting...they shot a deer within 30 minutes of our arrival. ellis was fascinated...she wasn't even bothered when the lab she became bff's with began licking all of the blood off bambi. actually, this deer could have been bambi's baby it was so small :)ellis with maddie...ellis LOVED this dog

she got to play w/ lots of cousins and even give one a bath and bottle!

we were home by 3 pm on thanksgiving...just in time for brandon to pull one turkey off the smoker and another out of the fryer...YUM!


beckett wasn't mad at me for leaving him...he probably never noticed with all of the football on tv. he loved his thanksgiving feast while ellis had a plate with a single roll on it...she "doesn't like feasts".

both families celebrated together at our house...so nice that everyone gets along :) we watched the horns beat A&M...barely! the rest of the weekend was spent decorating for christmas...i am totally finished and december isn't even here yet!
