Thanksgiving in Searcy

We had a lot of fun in Searcy with my parents over the long weekend.  It was really cold the first day, but it warmed up after that and we were able to be outside more.  One afternoon, Papa, Marcus and the boys spent some time clearing the leaves out of the backyard.  (Caleb tore a couple of holes in his new jacket climbing a tree in the backyard, but Nanna got out her mending kit and stitched it right up.)

Favorite things from the weekend...

Caleb--learning to ride his bike, reading books with Nanna & Papa, exploring the university on wheels, eating Papa's biscuits
Ethan---playing at the park near the house, playing with the trains and other toys in Nanna & Papa's play room, drinking Papa's chocolate milk (over & over again)
Rachel--eating Thanksgiving dinner, eating pizza at The Brick Oven (hey, I'm pregnant, eating takes a front seat!), watching the boys enjoy themselves, beating Marcus and Mom in Scrabble, and, most of all, shopping for baby girl clothes with my mom
Marcus--watching football with Dad (there were 4 games on overall, I think), Black Friday shopping (the middle-of-the-night version), watching Caleb ride his bike, eating Thanksgiving dinner.

Papa reading Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day to the boys.
Ethan drinking chocolate milk, a favorite at "Papa's house."
Nanna and Caleb watching the video of Caleb learning to ride his bike.
Marcus and Ethan at the high school track near my parents' house.
