This year Thanksgiving was at mom's house. We woke up, finished packing, made our cranberry casserole, cleaned, loaded car, watched some of the Macy's parade and then went to visit Granny for awhile. She said she was not going to come to mom's to eat, but she later changed her mind. So, the girls and us visited with her for awhile and watched some more of the parade. My sweet grandmother is not looking like herself due to the cancer, but I wanted her picture with the girls and they were having such a fun time there.

Then, we went to mom's and had lunch with the family. We did our annual polyanna drawing. We ate way too much. I then was giving Emma a cupcake, went to put sprinkles on it and shook it without knowing it did not have a top to the container. So, sprinkles were everywhere and my dear sister was giving Emma sprinkles with a spoon as I was trying to clean up the mess.
We hit the road to the mountains around 2:30 for our trip with the Hamricks. We stopped twice and were there by 9:15. The girls were surprisingly excellent in the car. I had a "prize bag" with water pens/coloring pads, suckers, books, new DVD's, a little Snoopy stuffed character, etc. Emma was so funny when she would say, "Is it prize time yet?" We got to the mountain house and and the girls were sort of wired from the car ride. Hannah was talking nonstop. Mawmaw was so happy to see them and we stayed up for awhile talking. The next day would be our Polar Express day!
