First Thanksgiving at the Beach!

So we have talked about it for years and finally, here we are at the beach for Thanksgiving! There is something about being at the beach when its chilly and windy, not very many people are around and you are left to your own musings. Love it!

The only downer is my fam didnt make it down here for various reasons, but I couldnt be happier looking to my left and seeing the ocean and then to my right and viewing the waterways. The house we rented has more room than a gymnasium so there is plenty of room to spread out and do whatever you want to do. The children have been fishing and playing games. Bryan is doing his "beach" puzzle. Katie and Leah are taking the kids to see the Muppet Movie. Nita is putting together her famous sweet potato cassarole. Everyone is doing their own thing.

Gwyn is in cousin heaven, playing with her 'baby' cousin, Ruby Grace, she drove me nuts asking when she was getting here yesterday. She has been attached to her side ever since. Last night she came to me and said, "Ruby is asleep and I am tired too. Can I go to bed?" That request rarely comes out of my children's mouths!

So while we havent actually eaten Thanksgiving dinner, I will count this as a success. It doesnt really matter if its good or not. We are together. We are at the beach. Its all good.
