Our Thanksgiving

It was just Steve, the boys and me for Thanksgiving this year so we decided to go back to the hotel we stayed in last Thanksgiving and over the 4th of July weekend this past summer. The boys love the pool and hot tub there! Also, it's just exciting to get away from home for a couple days too. We had a great time at the hotel. The boys did SO much swimming, it was unbelievable! Greyson loves the water more than any kid I have ever known. Cael liked it too, but for him, when he had enough, he was done. I don't think Greyson could EVER have enough of the pool!

On Thanksgiving day we went to Cracker Barrell for dinner. Surprisingly, we only waited about 10 minutes and were served rather quickly. Steve and I both ordered the Thanksgiving meal special. It was actually very good and quite inexpensive. For $8.99, we got two slices of turkey with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberries, stuffing, one additional side and a slice of pie. It was great not having to worry about the clean up afterwards but not so great that we didn't have any turkey left overs.

Overall, we all had a wonderful time! I hope everyone else had a very blessed Thanksgiving as well!!! :)

Here are some pictures...
