Thanksgiving in Memphis

We decided to spend a few days in Memphis for Thanksgiving this year. It had been 2 years since we have made it over there so we were all very excited to see everyone. Grandma Maggie and Great Aunts Jodie and Kathy spoiled the boys like always! They took us all to the Memphis Zoo and to the Pink Palace (that isn't pink according to the boys) to see the Festival of Trees and a Christmas village display. It was a beautiful day for the zoo. Our favorites were the sea lions, pandas, giraffes and polar bears.
Kathy recently got married to Norris so the boys had a new football player for the team! Nathan wasn't feeling well that day so Norris had to take them on himself. The boys are ready for a rematch!
Jodie and I went out shopping the day after Thanksgiving. We got some great deals and had a great time!
We had a great visit and can't wait to go back!




Update

Sorry it's been a while...I'll post some of November's highlights!

Jared and Joshua's classes dressed up like pilgrims and indians and got to have a Thanksgiving meal at school.




Lowe's Project Day--Twice a month Lowe's puts on a little workshop for the kids to make a project. They have a lot of fun with this. This week they made a football goal to play paper football. They also get a patch for their apron for each project they complete. The boys were excited because mom finally got all of the patches ironed on!









Jared decided to wear his tie to church one Sunday--isn't he handsome!


This is Jared's friend Ethan. He has a lot of fun with him! He's the one that dressed up like Mario with him for Halloween.


Grandparents Day--The boys' school holds a Grandparents Day every year. The boys have a lot of fun with it and Grandma gets to stay with us for a couple of days so she can make it to all of their days. Grandma was very busy with all three of them. Elvis was even there!
