Thanksgiving Vacation

We had a great Thanksgiving. We spent most of Thursday at home, preparing for our time with family for the rest of the weekend. We headed to Union on Thursday afternoon to have Thanksgiving dinner with Mama Belk (my grandmother) and my aunts, uncles, and cousins. We are so thankful this year for Mama Belk and her recovery from her stroke this summer. The stroke didn't slow her down from making the turkey and dressing! It's such a blessing to continue to celebrate holidays with her.

Mama Belk was taking care of Gertrude, Catherine's doll. She is so sweet with all of her great-grandchildren.

On Thursday night after dinner, we drove down to the beach to spend the rest of the weekend with Jay's parents. This too was a huge blessing to be with them. We are so thankful for them, especially for Marcy's recovery from her surgery a few weeks ago. It was a great weekend to relax, take a few naps, and enjoy some chilly walks on the beach.

The Hatten guys: You have to keep your eyes on them or they'll get into trouble :)

Will really loved walking up and down the beach. He didn't care about the cold wind or rain. He was loving it! He's ready for next summer.

Catherine loves going for walks on the beach and looking for seashells. On this particular day, Catherine decided to really relax and wear her pajamas all day. Now that's a vacation!
