Thanksgiving with the Epleys

After lunch and Hailey's nap time on Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) we went to the Epleys! Hailey was super excited to see Mimi, Poppi and Bobo. We got to play for a few minutes before leaving for dinner with Ryan's extended family.

Ryan's Aunt Sherry always hosts Thanksgiving dinner and it was so good to see everyone. She had this wooden turkey set as a decoration and it kept Hailey occupied pretty much all night. She liked to hug it, kiss it, bring it food and toys. Silly girl!



Hailey started getting a cold while we were gone and she slept HORRIBLY! Like get up at 4:30 or 5:00 horribly! So, needless to say we were all tired and spent lots of time relaxing in our pjs. But that's what time with family is for, right?!

Hailey found these sunglasses in the basket of toys at Mimi's house and liked putting them on and seeing herself in pictures I would take.



I loved this sweet moment...We've only been to Ryan's parents house about a thousand times, and it took 2 days this trip, but Hailey finally noticed Mimi's piano. Mimi showed her how to play. Hailey was timid at first and liked to hear Mimi play, but finally warmed up to playing too. After this morning, Hailey kept taking our hands and saying, "Music. Play." So sweet!


Ryan's dad snapped this picture of Hailey and their dog Beau. This pretty much sums up their time together. They loved each other. Hailey would follow Beau around and give him kisses and try to hug or pet him. Whenever he got put in his "room" Hailey would say, "Bobo out." He was told "Love you" many times and fed lots of marshmellows at Hailey's request.


We also went to visit Ryan's grandfather, PawPaw and his dog Maggie while we were in Charlotte. Hailey was fascinated with his Christmas tree.



She was showing it to her cat and saying,  "Look. Beautiful. Great."

We had such a fun time with family in Charlotte celebrating Thanksgiving. We are truly thankful for so much!
