We headed south for Thanksgiving this year, it was our first time since July of '06 that we visited South Carolina. It was also our first time traveling together as a family of four, which is quite different than a family of three, as Josh found out! We had such a good time visiting with Josh's family. Elizabeth had a blast, hanging out with her cousins Caroline and Jay, developing her first crush on Uncle Jack (she went right to him which is saying a lot because she is usually very shy around men) and even going to the zoo to see the Christmas lights. Jace was just happy to eat and get some attention! He loved his Thanksgiving dinner, he ate most of Josh's sweet potatoes and Mommy's green beans and even had a little turkey. Josh was in heaven, eating Judy's home cooking and hunting everyday, it really doesn't take a lot with him...he was sooooo happy to be in South Carolina and spending time with his brothers and parents, he hasn't been able to do much of that since he has been deployed so much these past couple of years. We even were able to make a trip to the hospital to see his Nana who had broken her hip a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving and wasn't able to be there to have dinner with us, which thankfully she is doing better now and even coming home from the hospital soon. Hopefully we will be able to get back during the Christmas/New Year to spend some more time with them before Josh has to leave again but if not I think that this trip will leave great memories for everyone!
