Thanksgiving 2012

We went to see Carson's grandparents, Mom A and Papa, on Thanksgiving Day for lunch.  Charlie and Daddy had lots of fun driving Papa's tractor!!  Can't you see the joy on both of their faces?

The next day we celebrated Thanksgiving with my family.

We took our Christmas card picture.  Me (hiding my baby bump), Gigi, Jordan, Laura, Charlie, Carson, Papa Jess, Ava, Josh and Izzie

Everyone went to shoot guns while my mom cooked and I took a nap :)

Super cool

We all went together Saturday night to ride the Rail of Lights train in Jefferson.  Gigi was prepared with some hot chocolate because it was pretty cold.  Charlie had fun but I can go ahead and say that will NOT be a yearly tradition.
