Thanksgiving Mississippi Style

We hit the road Wednesday after Nate got home from work heading toward Natchez, MS.... home of G.G. and Grandpa. (We made it in record time...7.5 hours... with only 1 stop! There is definitely something to driving while the kids are sleeping.)

The boys wanted to "help" with the turkey. I think they really just wanted to touch it.

Max tried most of everything (after his first attempt of only getting corn and a roll).

Max wanted to pray for the meal. His prayer went a little something like..."Dear Fodder, Thank you that the pilgrims had a safe trip to their first Thanksgiving feast. Thank you that they ate good foods for them. Please let them have safe trips again. Your heavenly Fodder. Amen."

Soon after this picture was taken Jack was put in his bed. No, it wasn't bedtime but who can enjoy Thanksgiving with a kid in their lap? Don't worry. I got him back up for pie.
