Back From Ky. and Tn. !

Jennifer, Meigan, Tiffany (cousin) and Grandma (Scott's mom)
Not so sure I like being this bundled up! (Meigan and Gaga)
Jennifer loved the snow!
Logan and Cody (cousin) Two peas in a pod!
Trinity, Jennifer, Meigan and Brittany (twin cousins)

We had a great Thanksgiving holiday visiting with lots of family!
We left Fri. Nov. 17th right from the hospital after Meigan's tubes were put in. She did great, but really didn't sleep like we thought she would on our way up to Ky.. Go figure! The next day we visited my cousin, Scott,in Ohio, who had a big screen tv so we could watch the Ohio Michigan game. Awesome game! OSU kicked butt!
Sunday my grandma had a big get together at her house in KY. with lots of aunts,
uncles and cousins. About 40 people all together. Meigan was a bit overwhelmed at first but enjoyed playing with her new cousins. That night it was more visiting when we drove over to Ohio to see Scott's family. Meigan makes the 7th grandchild for Scott's parents.
Monday, my parents, grandma, Jenn, Meigan and I drove down to Gatlinburg to my parents Mtn. Chalet. It is beautiful and so peaceful. Tues. my mom's cousin, Brenda, and her son and his family drove down to spend Thansgiving with us for a few days. The girls had a great time playing with their twin cousins, Brittany and Trinity. That morning also, Scott, Logan and Rocky made it in after driving all night! We spent the evening on a double date with Rodney and Theresa enjoying the shops and snuggle weather in downtown Gatlinburg.
We had a huge feast for Thanksgiving! Stuffed ourselves silly! Thank you Brenda and Theresa for the delicious food!
Fri., Scott's parents, sister and brother and their kids drove down to spend time with us for a couple of days. We had fun shopping and visiting. The kids had a blast with their cousins.
Rocky loved Tn. too! He would run around my parent's deck like a greyhound track!
He loved running down the hill in back and rolling in leaves. He's still up there with my parents until tues. when they come back. Last I heard, he was digging in a big dirt pile.
We drove 17 hrs. yesterday to get home. It should take 14 hrs.,but with three kids... We got home about 10 last night and literally crashed in bed.
Now it's back to reality... school, dr. visits, bills. Can't wait till we can go back!
