Thanksgiving weekend

We had a great time in Southern Illinois (or So Ill) last week. It was really nice to see Aaron's family and hang out with some friends again.

The trip down was great. We had a 2 hr layover in Dallas, but I LOVE that airport. They have a kids area in each terminal. The boys had a great time playing around. We are going to try and fly through there from now on.
Waylon giving some poor little girl the hand...We got there before anyone else, so we had a few days of calm. We went to 2 movies and enjoyed the nice weather. Aaron and I were all prepared to freeze our tushies off, but it was actually really nice the first half of the week. The boys got to play in Poppa Pete's yard a bunch. Aaron and I went to see Due Date on our own (Date night!!) but it wasn't good, at all really. However, we took the boys to see MasterMind...
It was great, both for the adults and the kids. Waylon actually sat transfixed through the whole thing and was dancing to I'm Bad by MJ on the way out (one of the cutest things ever to happen in So Ill).

Thanksgiving itself was great. It was Aaron's immediate family plus Pete's girlfriend, Alisha, and his Aunt Suzanne. The dinner was wonderful and for some reason both the boys had the best manners ever during the entire dinner. That has NEVER happened before. Aaron and I still are wondering how to repeat it. Usually dinner is just a series of "don't (insert some bad action here), and eat your dinner".

Byron supervising the preparations....
The table all loaded down...That is the extent of the pictures I took. I came down with a bad cold the day after. The trip home wasn't anything to write about either. I think it's best if we all just forget that. The boys were great, but we were an hr and 1/2 later getting in than planned and we had a 3 hr layover already scheduled in there. It was a LONG day. But, we're all home now. It felt great to get back to Savannah and our puppies.
