Still giving thanks...

We had a really wonderful Thanksgiving holiday this year, so I better post some photos before the holidays are upon us!! We went to Virginia Beach to enjoy a little sun and sand with our turkey!

Sammy was ready to dig in! That's our boy enjoying avocado with his turkey!

Brie especially enjoyed the sweet potato!

"Go, 'Hoos!" Too bad we got walloped by Tech later that weekend... (Hey! Are they playing with calculators??)

We read lots of books...

And practiced walking!

A little toast for the adults! (Yes, Sammy and Brie got to enjoy ALL FOUR grandparents this Thanksgiving!)

And some thankfulness, too!

"Lemme know if you drop some turkey!"





Brie strummin' out some turkey tunes...

"To the beach, Panda!"

It was fun to be on the beach when it wasn't super hot and sunny.

Beth, Tom, Panda and Fenway

 

"The water was cold on my toes, Mom!"



Leftovers with the cousins!

Thumbsuckers 1 & 2

And 3!! (Yes, left-handed thumbsucking DOES run in our family!)

We finished off a great couple of days with a trip to the new Kids' Cove at Mt. Trashmore! I hadn't been since high school when everyone got together and built a huge wooden playground for the community. That was torn down recently and replaced with a big, beautiful (and colorful) new playground. Check it out!

Tony and Sammy climbed to the top of Mt. Trashmore! Our high school cross country team used to have meets here...the hill is no joke!

See the boys??

Here they are again...the small speck in the middle of the picture (on top of Mt. Trashmore)!

Can't wait to go back...to Kids' Cove AND Virginia Beach!! We had a great time and, without a doubt, we have so much to be thankful for. Hope everyone else had a wonderful Thanksgiving, too!

P.S. Can someone please pass the leftover pie??
