Thanksgiving via iphone

November 28, 2012

As I said, we had a great Thanksgiving because we got to see my entire family on both my mom’s and dad’s side.  I can’t remember the last time my mom’s entire side of the family was together but it’s been too long.  It was so good to catch up with my cousins, introduce Spencer to everyone and let Maxwell play with his cousins.  We spent 5 days in Arkansas and the boys did fantastic the whole time.  It’s a 6 hour drive each way and between that and the numerous trips back and forth to Searcy, Augusta and LR, they logged a lot of hours in the car.  I think we all might have Finding Nemo memorized by now!  🙂  Most importantly, Maxwell slept GREAT in the pack n play in the hotel, hallelujah! It was a successful trip all around!

I took a few photos with my big camera which I’ll share tomorrow but today I thought I would walk through the trip based on my (numerous!) iphone pics because that’s how my life is documented these days!

Phew!  and after that we hopped in the car and drove 6 hours back to Birmingham. What a trip!

I just want to end with a special THANK YOU to Robert.  It wasn’t an easy weekend and Robert was, as always, a lifesaver willing to do whatever we needed.  He puts up with my crazy family (love you family!) and does it all with a smile constantly going above and beyond.  I don’t know what we would do without him.  Robert, you’re the best!

Would love to hear from you! 5 Comments

    It was a crazy week-end and proud of how everyone – big and little – stepped up to the plate! Great memories of the week-end.

    It’s easy to “step up to the plate” when GJ makes the meal!

    What a great time, I love hanging out with the Pattersons. All families may have a little crazy in them just hope I’ll be thanking you the same after a trip to the Browns!

    See you all again soon.
