Thanksgiving Week!

Wow, what a whirlwind week. We had a great time in Marion for Thanksgiving after going into the mountains to get our tree on Wednesday. Leaves plenty of time to enjoy Thanksgiving Day without being so rushed. We came home on Friday to finish decorating, worked at the church's tree lot on Saturday, and VOILA...bought a new puppy in a spur of the moment, heart-tugging, buy-me-please situation on Saturday afternoon. Dasher was in no danger, mind you....he just really wanted to come live with us. Following are some shots of the entire week. There's a bunch.Thanksgiving Day........Thomas picked these for me behind Mom's barn.

Ready for the feast.

Modeling just a little...And some more....

Friday brought tree decorating and unpacking. On Saturday, we worked the tree lot as a family, bought a puppy, and I visited Cotton at his gallery.

We had very little traffic at the Tree Lot (at church), so Thomas decided to make sure he could 'operate' the tree thingy..what's it called? And yep, he could do it!Cotton and his new book he wrote (and my name is in the back)!!! HEHE! Ya'll want his autograph...or do you want mine?!Meet Dasher, the newest member of our family. He's such a sweet boy...8 weeks old and fat as a pig. We purchased him on a whim yesterday and he's already made his way deep into our hearts. Macy loves him and is very maternal towards him. Now she has a playmate!!It just wears him out to be happy all day long!!!

A weekend blast!

What a beautiful weekend. And, this one in particular was full of fun doings with friends and family! On Saturday, after working in the yard most of the day, we headed to the Brick House Tavern in Davidson for dinner with the Privotts. It's yet another one of my favorite places to eat!

Getting ready to go!

Get your head out of the picture, Michael!!

Such fun with that crew and a delicious dinner!

Thomas surprised us with tickets to see Carolina play basketball at the Dean Dome. We were excited to take the girls since they had never been in that dream of a place and it had been 2 years since we had been. Man, did that ever bring back memories. Geez....I love that place!

You always dress in UNC apparel for such events, but ya'll know me and my clogs...had to have something!!! I didn't have true Carolina blue clogs, but these were close.

And jewels....of course. Besides my charm that I love so dearly, the girls had Tarheel earrings too!

We took a quick (and I mean very quick) walk over to the student store. We ran short on time after eating lunch with Papaw...which of course we loved!

The girls had to strip down to camis for the walk over. It got so hot! They re-robed with t-shirts before going into the Dean Dome. I told them I was going to do the same, and boy did I get some mean, horrified looks from them. Just kidding, girls!

And again!

Yep! (And several others)

Dance Team.....I remember!

Weekend Stuff!

We had a pretty busy weekend full of fun stuff! The girls had a sleepover on Friday night. On Saturday, my niece from Marion came to spend the night with us since her brother was playing soccer in Huntersville in a tournament. And, Saturday night, we went to Northlake Mall. Just a few pictures to highlight the weekend....
