Thanksgiving with the Browns

We spent the first part of our Thanksgiving week with my family, the Browns. We got to Charlotte late Tuesday night so Wednesday Hailey hit the ground running. She was into everything and all about everyone. I love how she gets so excited to see our family!

My mom got a cute little folding table for Tucker and Hailey to use at her house and Hailey LOVED it. She thought she was big stuff sitting without a high chair. (In fact, when we got home to Raleigh, I tried to put her in her high chair for dinner and she said, "No Mommy. Big table." Ha!) She actually did pretty good sitting and eating her food.

My mom pulled out some of our old toys from when we were little and Hailey had fun playing with those too.  She put the little doll down the slide...

and then decided that she needed to go down too!

She spent lots of time playing in the pantry,

helping Mommy cook,

We sure were missing our learning tower...

licking the beaters with Das,

and playing in the "house" that Das made her.

On Thanksgiving day, the whole family was there!  Mary Katherine and Justin came in from Atlanta, and Julie, Trey and the boys came over. Hailey had a ball with everyone, and I did too!

Tucker and Ryan built a tower using all of the blocks.

Tucker was so proud!

Then for lunch, Tucker and Hailey got to eat at their own little table.

Don't they look precious! It won't be long before Mack is there too.
Lunch was a little louder and more chaotic than it used to be, but I wouldn't change it for the world. There were a few sweet moments after we were done eating...

I am so thankful that we get to spend holidays with our families!

But this was only half of the fun...
