Thanksgiving 2011

Home, sweet, home.... we are back from Thanksgiving in Oklahoma!  Beckett and I left Sunday morning and drove straight to Cori's for sweet little Hayden's 1st Birthday party.  It really doesn't seem like it was a year ago that she was born.

I just love the cute pumpkin theme that they had.  It was a packed house, but Hayden was all smiles and did GREAT.  Damon made the toy chest that she is sitting on.  Isn't it neat?  She will always cherish that.

We stayed at my parents house this year.  We were busy all week.  There were breakfast plans, lunch plans, and even a big date night for Guy and I.  

Guy surprised me by making reservations at "The Haunted House."  It is a restaurant that has definitely earned its name.  It's a really old, super creepy house that is literally in the boonies.  The one way road through the unlit woods plus the three unsolved murders that occurred there really get you unsettled.  Oh what?  It isn't completely twisted that we ate at the scene of three separate murders?  Yeah, told you it earned its name!  

But the food was really yummy. 

Our attempt to get pics was pretty lame, but here you go.  

We had Thanksgiving #1 at Gary and Guyla's.  The Memphis crew came into town, so it was fun to catch up with everyone.  On a side note, Guyla made a pumpkin cheesecake from the November issue of Southern Living and it was to.die.for.  Combine that we her famous apple cider cocktails and I was in sugar heaven.  

We then headed back to my parent's for Thanksgiving #2.  Isn't' this a good picture of all of us?  Their street was SO beautiful with all of the autumn trees.  

On Friday we went to an awesome photography studio that lets you rent their space for super cheap.  You just bring your camera and they have all of the lighting, back drops, and props for you.  I was in heaven, and Guy was horrified.  "Grreeeaat," he said, "now we get to do this every time we come to Oklahoma."  Yep, honey, you are correct. 

We got some cute ones for the Christmas cards.

Guy wanted to add in the baseball props.  B just wanted to have baseball snack.

We also got a ton of shots with all of the Memphis family, but I haven't really gone through those too much yet.  But this one is by far my favorite.....  

I have the best in-laws!

Well that about wraps up the highlights.  It was a great week.  And pretty soon we will  be back in town for Christmas.  Yikes!  I need to do some Christmas shopping!
