Thanksgiving 2007!

Thanksgiving 2007 was a great success! All of us but Mike went to Atlanta on Wednesday, Mike had to work on Thanksgiving. He then joined us Friday morning. We went shopping with G-Mama on Wednesday afternoon and had a lot of fun. All of us got some Christmans shopping done which always feels good. Also, Landon had his first visit with Santa that did not cause him to break out into tears. In fact, he was mesmorized and told him exactly what he would like to have. He even sat in his lap. By the way, Landon wants a purple truck. Mike said, what little boy wants a "purple" truck. Funny! So, this is the first year that Santa will have to bring something specific! I love it!! Addi was scared to death and would not leave my arms so I am in the picture too. John and Andi were good sports and also talked to Santa. I have such great kids. I will try to scan a picture onto our blog later.

We had a great Thanksgiving Day with lots of food hanging out with Mom's whole side of the family. It was so good to see everyone and visit! Then, on Friday night we had the Koppe Thanksgiving Dinner with just all of our family. The Koppe Thanksgiving was good too and GG was able to join us. After the little ones went to bed all the family watched Hairspray! Kudos to the guys for sitting with us and even laughing! It was a lot of fun!

On Saturday all the girls took the little ones and we all went to Atlantic Station for some shopping and lunch. I thought it may be crowded, but it seems Black Friday wore everyone out. The crowds were non existent and we enjoyed our time together. The kids highlight was riding the little train around Atlantic Station square. Sam got some really cute pics. The guys had a day long Band of Brothers marathon and almost made it through all ten. Then that night the guys watched the little ones while the girls went to see the movie "Enchanted". It was really cute and funny and we had a blast. After the movie we got really silly taking funny pictures in the Ashley Square Christmas Decor in Newnan. It is a shopping comlex. Sam took them and I wish I had some because they are really funny.

Sunday morning we all went to church with G-Mama and then hit the road to Tennessee. It was so nice to worship with her and all be there together. This past week has been good and full of drama. Both John and Andi got their wisdom teeth cut out yesterday. They are both doing well, but are like little chip munks. I am sure they do not want me to take any pics, and I can't say that I blame them. Maybe I can sneak in a couple!:)


Landon and Andi laughing at the flying leaves. They would put a leaf into the air from the heater and it would fly all around. Landon thought it was so funny!

Addi laying down in the leaves! She and Landon would climb up this little hill of pine straw and then slide down. However, Addi was wearing tights and the pinestraw kept poking her in her legs and she hated it! So funny!


Landon loving the "pinestraw slide"!
