Thanksgiving weekend

 We have already decorated for Christmas and I still haven't blogged about our amazing Thanksgiving weekend!  We had our second annual dinner with friends...mainly just a reason for Ryan to smoke a turkey!
 This turkey is out of this world!  Seriously it is that good! 
Those are the only two pictures I took all night, but I promise you there were lots of other amazing dishes and lots of wine and lots of laughs!  I am so thankful for our friends in Charlotte and all the lifelong relationships we have made.  
On Thanksgiving morning we loaded up the car and headed to Wilson, NC to Grandma Linda's farm.  Papa Fred had a hay ride set up for us all.
 They have horses, chickens, cotton fields and lots of toys at the farm.

 This guy loved being able to ride the four wheeler solo this year.


 Ryan took countless videos of Ellie because when she drove she would just laugh so loud.

 We would go on long gator rides and go see the cotton!
 I adore this pic of Ellie.  She has a smoked dress, helmet and is feeding a horse.  This just sums her up so perfectly.



 My step-uncle is a chef and prepared the majority of our feast.  Not sure we could ever top all these dishes he made for one meal!
We stayed a few nights at my parents house and for the first time in forever all the siblings were together.
BG had lots of fun crafts and things to do.  The boys played golf one day and we went to get mani/pedis!


 We all went out Friday night to a new bowling alley in Raleigh.  We had a blast bowling and playing lots of air hockey!

 Saturday morning we headed back to Raleigh for the final game of the season! 
 Love our Wolfpack family and very thankful for a W against the Tarheels!
