Post Thanksgiving

Well I already told you that Alex missed all of the Thanksgiving day festivities because he was sick. Luckily, Friday he woke up much better! Still had a cough, but nothing like Wed/Thurs. My brother and his family rolled into town on Friday and we got to spend the weekend with them! To say Will loves his cousins is a HUGE understatement. They are among the first he mentions when we say his prayers at night and he lights up when he sees them. We love having them in town too! All of the big boys headed to the Plains on Saturday for the Iron Bowl. John had said since the season started that he wasn't going to go to the Iron Bowl this year....so close to Christmas we didn't need to spend the money.....it would be okay to miss just this year.....blah blah blah. I KNEW that the closer it got, it would eat him alive not to be there. His uncle and cousin coach high school football and they were able to give him one of their coaches passes. I knew he would end up going! He didn't ride with my dad, brother, and nephew though....to quote him...."I don't really feel like being cordial tomorrow. There is no since in mixing oil and water."
My mom suggested we take the little kids to McWane before the game so we started off at Dunkin' Doughnuts where Will had an Auburn doughnut before heading to McWane. {I can't even tell Will to smile or say cheese anymore because this is the face I get. I love his little face, but really?? Does every picture I take right now have to have squinted/basically closed eyes???}Their Winter Wonderland exhibit, along with the trains, was open and it was fun for all of us!

A House Divided....we got comments all day at McWane because everyone had on their Alabama gear except for Will (I am SUCH a good wife...) :)They loved playing in the snow!Sutherlan went on the zip line about 86 times!Ice Fishing...

Playing in the bubbles...We ended the day back at Kiki and Pops to watch the game, paint some ornaments, and play with the extremely impressive village set up Kiki created this year!

So glad Christmas is just a few weeks around the corner so we can spend some time all together again!
