We made our way down to Atlanta for the Thanksgiving holiday. All of Jeff's siblings and a few of Madison's cousins were all gathering at Nana and Papa's house for the feast!
What child doesn't enjoy arts and crafts? As the grandchildren filed into the house on Thanksgiving afternoon, their hands were colored and a lasting canvas was made of all the grandchildren's turkey hand prints. The younger ones had a harder time holding still as we painted their hands. They kept saying it tickled.

With all the children in the house, poor Lucy didn't have a chance. She had to catch ZZZ's when she could. And when she did, boy did she sleep!

There are going to be very few chances for Nana (and Papa) to have ALL their grandchildren together. Six out of eight under one roof is not doing too bad!

With the Thanksgiving dinner behind us and a little shut eye, it was just moments before the arrival of Fred!!! I had emailed Santa to let him know that Madison was visiting Nana and if he would make sure Fred found Madison the day after Thanksgiving. Looks like Santa got the email and Fred made it to ATL safely!! Madison was OVERJOYED to see her elf!!! The official Christmas holiday has begun!
