Thanksgiving 2012

I'm a few weeks behind in my Thanksgiving post, but its because the past couple of weeks have been pure chaos. However, I think this Thanksgiving was the most relaxing and low stress holiday we've had since Camille was born. It was nice to not feel rushed and to have plenty of time to ourselves and with family.

Camille's school kicks off the holiday by hosting their annual Thanksgiving luncheon. It is fun to get to eat with Camille, though she is much more well behaved when her parents are NOT there. Her class was very excited to recite a song for us about a turkey, as well as show off their turkey hats. Too cute!

Each child has told Mrs. Brenda what they were thankful for prior to our lunch. Camille response: "my monkey" There is a monkey stuffed animal in the class that Brenda allows Camille to sleep with at nap time since she has fallen in love with it.

Our first stop on Thanksgiving was at Nick's family's farm. We try to go every year, especially now that Camille can enjoy the hay rides and animals.

Can you believe we managed to get a picture with the whole Cox family?!
Next stop was Sanford for the DesVergers Thanksgiving. We had a small group this year due to others traveling and sickness. We still managed to completely stuff ourselves :)

The following evening, we got tickets for the NCSU basketball game, so Abe, Emily, and Jacob were able to join us too! Camille was thrilled to have her cousin Emily come with her to the game.

Nick & I followed up the basketball game with a football game the following evening. We didn't dare take Camille, as the two of us could barely handle the cold temperatures!

Hope everyone had as relaxing of a holiday as we did! Now we're all back to the grind and trying to get ready for Christmas!
