Thanksgiving 2010

We had a very busy Thanksgiving full of good football, food, and family. On Thanksgiving Day, we waited for Meme and Pa to arrive while playing a little football in our front yard. Avery didn’t let a silly dress keep her from the pigskin action!

That evening, we were fortunate to share Thanksgiving dinner with some of my mom’s extended family. We really enjoyed seeing several relatives that we hadn’t seen in years, and Avery was the life of the party! I was more than happy to take home an empty dish of corn pudding as our hosts did the cooking. As for Avery, she wasn't into the delicious meal and dined on goldfish instead. Sigh.

Friday afternoon, two of Greg’s closest friends, Marco and Eric, arrived to join the fun. They kept Greg busy drinking beer and playing pool, so we left them to their own devices on Saturday and headed to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Avery had a big time running around the gardens and watching the miniature trains with Pa.

She wasn't so sure about Santa Claus, though.

Sunday, we left Avery in Meme’s care and headed to the Georgia Dome to watch the Packers take on the Falcons. We had a blast at the game despite the Packers 3-point loss. It was really a treat to be able to go to a game and leave Avery in such good hands.

Avery sure had a nice weekend with her grandparents, and can't wait to see them again at Christmas!
