HAPPY CHRISTGIVING?

My Sister Olivia is in town for Thanksgiving and since she won't be here for Christmas we had Christ-giving or Thanks-mas :-).  We woke up early Thanksgiving morning and did Christmas with Matt, Olivia & Caleb.  Caleb, who just turn 18 months, was so cute opening his presents.  He would pull off a little piece of wrapping paper and then promptly went to the trash can to dispose of of it, so each gift took a few minutes to open but it was so adorable no one minded.  I got him a giant penguin stuffed animal - it was almost as tall as he is.  My brother in law Matt got a gun from my dad and of course being the boy that he is had to go outside and try it out - boy was it was loud!  (don't worry we were at the lake not Jones Creek).  Anyway then around 1pm the family started arriving for Thanksgiving Lunch - we had so much food - My dad smoked Chicken & my grandma made Turkey and we had Ham.  Then there were Corn Casseroles, Sweet Potatoes, Dressing, Broccoli Casserole, Homemade Bread, and a million other casseroles & desserts.  After Lunch we went on a hike through the woods and over a "mountain" that has been named Shirley Mountain after my grandmama because when my mom was little she used to take them on a hike after Thanksgiving Dinner over a mountain she named Mount Mitchell Junior - not sure where that name came from.  Anyway then we hung out a little longer and made the long trek back home.  It was a very nice Christgiving!
