Thanksgiving

So Thanksgiving was just a little bit different this year!  We planned on all of Scott's family coming to our house, and initially I had planned on cooking the typical Thanksgiving dinner.  However, once I found out that no one would be able to come until Thursday morning, we decided to go to Cracker Barrel for our Thanksgiving meal.  I will have to say I was a little nervous because this was the first time ever that I would not have the "traditional" dinner at a family members (or my own) house.  Well, all week we knew Jonah had been feeling very bad and was unsure if he would be able to make the trip.  Wednesday we found out that Dan, Nicki, and Jonah would be staying at home.  Hannah was extremely upset because she really wanted to see Jonah, but at the same time she was so concerned for him and his health!  It was very sweet!  

Thursday morning Mimi and Al got to Tupelo.  We talked for a little bit, then decided to go ahead and go eat!  

This picture is the only one I got of Al the entire time he was here.  I am almost positive he was hiding from the camera!  Scott took this one while he was walking to the car--caught off guard!

I am glad we decided to go to Cracker Barrel when we did because we waited for over an hour and a bunch more people came in after us!  Below are some pictures of us trying to entertain ourselves while waiting!

I am not sure what they are talking about, but Hannah was sure glad her Mimi was finally here.

Scott's new look, suits him pretty well...

I think Scott and Mimi could have stayed watching this Santa the entire time we waited!  They would press the button and laugh and laugh and still be laughing when it quit--ok, mainly Mimi, but Scott did laugh at it for a while also!  

I never can get a serious picture of these two!  I love to see them interact.  Hannah adores her Daddy and it is so sweet to capture in pictures!

It is so obvious Scott took this picture himself, but we had to have a picture of us on Thanksgiving Day...I wish we would have taken one with Hannah in it too!

We were so bored and trying to entertain ourselves...

Below is a picture that Scott took of Hannah while we were sitting at the table waiting on our yummy biscuits!  He took the picture through the glass from the oil candle on the table.

Soon after this picture our food came, and suddenly the camera disappeared...we were so hungry!  After we ate, we did a little shopping, played  a couple of rounds of Phase 10, and drove around looking for people waiting in lines for Black Friday, just for Mimi!  That night we ate Taco Soup and watched Wall-E.  Overall, not a traditional Thanksgiving, but it turned out to be a pretty good one!
