Thanksgiving in Mississippi

Yes, I know this post is a little late. But, I've been working diligently on a top-secret Christmas present. And, you'll have to wait until Christmas to find out what it is (haha). Now that it's finished, time to catch up on the blog!

We had a great trip to Mississippi to see David's family over Thanksgiving. The trip was very pleasant and uneventful - just the way we like it! Elizabeth is now a champ at traveling. She slept well every night in the hotel and was very good in the car. She did comment that it was a long way from Kentucky to Mississippi, which I had to agree with!

David's mom (BB) cooked a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. And, of course, Elizabeth was a great helper:



She also really enjoyed helping BB decorate her Christmas tree:





But, the excitement of the weekend centered around Papa Al's birds. This was the first time we had met them - 2 big Macaws and 2 smaller exotic birds (parrots maybe? Sorry - I'm not well versed in birds). Elizabeth was scared of them at first, but did warm up to them over the weekend.

Here's a picture of Al with the Macaws:

And, Elizabeth and BB watching the birds:



That was high entertainment for them!
