Over the river and through the woods to Grandma & Granddaddy's cabin we go! When Scott got off of work on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, we headed to Indiana with a van full of kids & presents. This will be our only trip home so we took a little Christmas celebration with us.
Mom's cabin is nice & cozy and we managed to squeeze us all at one table & 2 bar stools. The table was beautiful!
Eli.loves.the.cabin! He would probably stay there if we would let him. Grandaddy built a big fire which kept Eli busy for a couple of days. It was rather warm those couple of days and we were able to be outside all the time.
Scott's parents and Grandma came up for Thanksgiving too. This made it nice for us to be able to have a lengthy visit with all of the grandparents. We have a tradition of putting together a puzzle on holidays. We all pitch in and work on it together.
Here's the finished product!
Elese kept busy doing some crafts that Grandma had for her to do.
Grandaddy and TC took a few naps in the chair together.
Dessert time!
About this time all the guys headed out to shoot Grandaddy's guns. This is also a tradition and something Eli looks forward to all year. Grandma knew Brother Bear would be upset if he didn't have a gun too...a trip to Wal Mart before we arrived solved that problem :)
Grandaddy has taught Eli exactly how to shoot a gun and how to handle it safely.
Loading the bullets. See the new UnderArmour sweatshirt? The UnderArmour fairy arrived at the cabin while we were there.
Grandma & Mamaw brought Eliot out to see the shooting action. He quickly decided it was too loud and was having more fun running around.
Time for some family shots. Thank you Cameron for being the photographer...even on your day off and with cheap cameras!

This shot of us is pretty good! I mean, Eliot's not even sucking his thumb :)
