So Much to be Thankful For!

We had big plans to host Thanksgiving for my family at our house this year. But when our dream house unexpectedly fell in our lap, and our closing date was set at November 30th, we decided that was just not going to happen. Some of my family members had to cancel flights (Sorry, Bec!), but my parents still decided to come even though we said there would be no home-cooking. So sad! Instead, they just watched/entertained the kids while Greg & I got a lot of packing done.

Nate & Miss Priss were happy to see Nanny & Poppy arrive on Tuesday morning, and I sent them off to McDonald's for lunch so I could pack in peace! :)

Nate couldn't wait to have a "bubble gum-blowing" contest with Poppy

Wednesday, N&P again took the kids out of our hair and headed to a local park for lots of playtime and a picnic lunch. The afternoon included lots of moving boxes (for Poppy) and bike rides and rocket balloons (for Nanny).

Thursday was not only Thanksgiving but Poppy's birthday, so Nate & Greg headed to Krispy Kreme for a special delivery for breakfast! (Yes we let N go there with his pjs on. Don't judge.)

Before heading out for a late Thanksgiving lunch, we stopped by our new house (the family was at Disney this week!), to take a few pics. To say we are excited to move is a huge understatement!!

We were a few minutes early to our lunch spot, so we took a few pics but Miss Priss was NOT in the mood....

....that is, until Nanny got her hands on her!!

Our Thanksgiving meal spot - The University Club! Beautiful atmosphere and delicious meal. And the kids did pretty good, considering it was during their naptime.

Poor Poppy, everyone was so stuffed from lunch that we decided to skip dinner and just have cheese & crackers (& wine) instead! At least we thought ahead enough to get him a brownie cake!!

Friday was more packing from us and time at the park for N&P and the kids. Greg and I even managed to squeeze in a dinner date night.

And then on Saturday was the Auburn/Alabama game. We tried to tailgate at the business college, but the menu did not sound the greatest, so we headed to the quad to eat instead. Enter: the best hot dogs ever!!! 

After filling up our bellies, Nate & Abby wanted to show off their skills on all the inflatables! It was a chilly day but oh so sunny & perfect!

Before heading home for a late nap, N&P treated the kids to Dippin' Dots. Yes, the kids had to get as close as possible to their cups! :)

We headed out for a delicious Mexican dinner Saturday night (as an early birthday celebration for me), and N&P left this morning. So yes, we've been de-spoiling all day!! :) 

Thank you N&P for such a great visit!!
