Thanksgiving in Mississippi

Our trip Mississippi was a great one. The holiday got off to a bumpy start but it got squared away. My hubby had decided the night before that we were not going to go as he was under the weather but his brother convinced him the next day to come. I am so glad. The kids had a good time. Dean had played with his cousins all weekend. Had sleepovers and so much fun. It was great to have all his family around. Diana was slow to warm up to everyone but she did well. Still not her very funny self around everyone but she came to a bit. I think the funniest part was warming up to grandpa. She did not want anything to do with him until the after dinner treats came. The was then Grandpa's best friend :) I wish I would have gotten some pictures. Gil had taken all the cameras but we never got them out.
We finally got to see his parents new home. It was just perfect for them. Dean loves their Jacuzzi bath tub. I think its the biggest shower i have ever been in with the best shower head in the world. We will have to call Grannie and get the name of it.
Dean got to go four wheeling. Thank you David for Sharing. Poor david let everyone else ride his four wheeler on Thanksgiving all day and I think he got on it in the evening What a sport :).
Dean got to play awhile with his cousin Sarah to doing art work. Another favorite for him.
The Thanksgiving Feast we great. I have never had Cajun turkey before it was good, smoked turkey, the best sweet potatoes, corn bread stuffing, taters, mac and cheese, rolls, regular turkey , beans, corn, ect ect and tons of desert and the best banana pudding :)
We had a great time. We Missed our Abby there. It was our holiday with her but she was not able to make it. Second holiday in a year of ours we missed. :( .
We will have to make a special trip to grannies with her. She would have loved it.
We are great to be home after our long trip and now we rest.
