Thanksgiving and Turkey Trottin'

I always love the weekend after Thanksgiving. Our family always has so much fun. This is what our schedule looked like this year: Friday: Lunch with the girls/guys play in the Granny's Cup family golf tournament Shopping Turkey Trot dance Saturday: Granny Walk with the girls/ guys play football Lunch at mom's Watch LSU/AR game I always love spending time with my extended family. I have to say..my family is FUN!!! I love it! We went over to mom and dad's house on Thanksgiving day this year. We had a much smaller group than usual but it was still great! I think there were 13 of us. I think this picture is so cute of May and Charlie Bear.

And I made my hashbrown casserole that I make every year....it's SO good!!! Mar mixed 3 different cheesecake recipes and seriously made the best cheesecake I have EVER tasted!! Everyone wanted h...
We've had a fun few days with Ellie. We all loved having her here! We made some fun memories. She left this morning but in a month we'll all be together again in Colorado skiing! :) Rosie LOVES Ellie and Kathryn.

Rosie and Ellie making Rolo brownies. :) Rosie didn't want to get her picture taken so Ellie said, "How about we just look at the camera". It worked! Yesterday, we made a quick trip to the mall.

This has been a problem because she is away at college and her doctor is here and neither one of us know her doctor's name. I know, I know...it sounds horrible but she didn't want to wait and go to my doctor so she just went to Wal-Mart one day and it's a different Wal-Mart than the one we normally go to. I called the Wal-Mart once to find out who her doctor was (where I could order her some contacts)......they transferred me and nobody ever answered.

Anyway, I told her to just clean her contacts...she did and they were fine for awhile. Well, she called yesterday and said there was actually a hole in one of her contacts. So, we we...
