Thanksgiving and SNOW!

Only 7 days until Christmas! I cant believe how fast this year has flown by! I want to get this post up from Thanksgiving before we head home in 4 days!

Last year, Tim and I had Thanksgiving here in Nashville, just the two of us. It was our first, and hopefully last, Thanksgiving sans family. It was nice, but not quite the same as being home with our families. Thanksgiving this year was so awesome because my parents and brother came to Nashville for turkey day!

We had so much fun showing them around town. We took them to Vandy so Tim could show them the cool labs he works in, and test their hearing. And don't think I can get together with my mom without doing some serious shopping! We all got our fill. We all went downtown one evening for shopping and dinner and wouldn't you know it, Mom, Cory and I each got a new pair of boots! Some other highlights included going to Centennial Park, the newly re-opened Gaylord Hotel, and touring the Yazoo Brewery. Oh yeah and we cooked Thanksgiving dinner! Busy much? We wouldn't have it any other way.

Don't we girls look so cute!?


Waiting for the turkey to be done...


Finally dinner is ready! Lets eat!


Gotta love the leftovers!


Thanksgiving dinner was a success and we loved having family here to share it with! It was hard to say goodbye when we dropped them off at the airport, but we knew it would only be a few weeks until Christmas....and here we are!

Earlier this week we really felt the Christmas spirit when it started to snow! We got about 3-4 inches of snow. It was very pretty and Draco really loved to run and play in it!



Next post will be about our trip home for Christmas, I can't wait!
