A Tybee Thanksgiving

Well, this year was quite an interesting Thanksgiving :) We left on Tuesday afternoon and fortunately when we arrived the house was ready. The toilet in the master leaked about a month ago and Honey & Papa arrived one weekend to a flooded house! Hardwoods, ceilings, floorboards, molding, carpet...ruined. But, all is well now - gotta love insurance :)

On Thanksgiving Eve, Chris and I woke up to a "smokey" smell. We went downstairs & couldn't figure out where the smoke was coming from. We then noticed that the power was out...weird!? Long story short, come to find out, a drunk driver hit a power pole while trying to pass someone and cut all the power off to the island. We were the last house on the island to have it restored and were out of power for 12 HOURS on Thanksgiving day...so much for cooking! Mom had ordered TONS of delicious food from Harpins - we ate around 4 pm. We kept getting teased b/c the power would come on for about one minute & then go off. We took the turkey out of the frig & put it on the backporch to keep it cool...I put the dogs on the porch forgetting the turkey was out there and you can imagine the end to that story...Happy Thanksgiving, Dogs! Chris & I saw the GA Power truck out of the window & ran down the street to tell him we still didn't have power :) Nini & the Roux's joined us for dinner. The rest of the week was full of LG throwing up, golf, shopping, river street, the wii, beach, house hunting, no hot water & showering at the pos. Oh, and don't forget Umberta from Germany...we definitely made some memories!

Eating Feathers

Honey took the girls to Papa's office last week for the JBPS Thanksgiving luncheon. On the way downtown, Honey was telling them that they were going to eat turkey and LG said, "Ewwww, Honey, do I have to eat the FEATHERS!?, and I really don't wanna eat that gobbler thing!"

MJ turns 2!

Well, our sweet Maddie James celebrated her 2nd birthday...she had a costume party at the FPD Playground & the kids had a blast! We had cupcakes, that the ants got into, so mom & I were blowing the ants off as we were serving them...this is when it's good that it's a 2nd birthday party...they had NO idea :) I had a candle shaped in a "2" for MJ's cupcake & turned my back to get a lighter & she ATE the candle!!! So we sang to her with a half eaten 2 on her cupcake - hilarious! She was obsessed with her "2" balloon & carried it around the whole party - she even took a bath with it that night - oh, the simple joys of life!

Happy Birthday, sweet MJ! You are such a blessing to our whole family & we love you with all of our hearts!
