{Thanksgiving 2013}

I guess before it gets in any further into 2014, I should finish recapping 2013. Let's start where I left off...

Thanksgiving 2013
This year, and like the last several years, we headed down to Jacksonville, FL to spend Thanksgiving with Will's grandparents and Uncle Tim. Will's parents and sister, Katy were also there. Because Will's granddaddy had been in and out of the hospital with his lung cancer and treatments, we weren't sure how things would go. We decided to stay at a nearby hotel this year. We arrived in Florida around dinner time Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. We got checked in and headed over to the house for dinner. We visited a little while before needing to get Sawyer to bed. We got up bright and early Thanksgiving morning and headed over to the house for breakfast and Macy's parade watching. We also got a chance to visit Granddaddy in the hospital before the big turkey dinner. 

On Friday after Thanksgiving, we took a fieldtrip to the Jacksonville Zoo. With our Riverbanks membership, we were able to get discounted admission. The three of us, along with Will's parents and sister, loaded up early for the 30 minute ride to the Zoo. It was a bright, sunny, slightly chilly day, but we had a great time. It is neat to see different animals than our zoo. 

We packed up to head home pretty early Saturday morning to make it home in time for the big game...Clemson v. South Carolina! We did make a stop at the outlets on our way home to hit up the big sales. We ended up with some pretty good deals! 

Stay tuned for my posts on our 18 month old and our Christmas holiday celebrations!

Happy New Year!

Clearly I have been majorly slacking in the blog department! It appears that I have not written a post since November! I will be catching up with our family fun and activities from Thanksgiving and Christmas and everything in between.

New Year's Eve & Day:

Sawyer and I spent part of our New Year's Eve at the pediatrician's office getting his ears and throat checked. It turns out he had a little touch of a virus and was better after a couple of days. We all were suppose to go to our friends' house to celebrate that night. We ended up leaving Sawyer with my parents, so he wouldn't get the other kiddos sick. We had a great night with our dear friends!

New Year's Day was spent out at the hunt club, per usual. Sawyer was feeling a little better and not running fever, so we brought him along! We had a great day with family and friends!
