This year we spent our first Thanksgiving together with some of my family in Alabama. My dad surprised my Mom and sister, Jen, by flying her in early for the holiday. Jen's husband, Darin, and her almost two year old son, Gavin, came the same day we arrived. We flew into Atlanta, rented a car, and drove into town. The weather was beautiful during the day and cooled off at night. We had some great games of pictionary, a family favorite and holiday must-play-game, that saw match-ups of couples and then men v. women. Al and I got a little lucky and won the couples game and a couple days later I happened to champion the men to victory as well. I'm sure there will be a rematch sometime soon. As for now, the men hold a two match winning streak.
Thanksgiving was amazing. We ejoyed great food and shared a lot of stories. Lil Gavin was the center of everyone's attention as he was into everything. We also got to spend Friday with Grandma Brown and Carpie, my mom's sister, in Atlanta. Everyone had a nice visit and Grandma looked really well.
Saturday saw the long awaited golf match between Tyler and his arch foe, Dad. Darin participated in the action but was never really in contention for the coveted prize, the Golden Putter, but still enjoyed the round. Dad played well, even pulling one stroke ahead on the first nine, but he couldn't stop the train from coming down the tracks and gave up that stroke, plus a few extra, as he lost the match AND the putter. I had to get it specially wrapped at the airport to bring it home. Allison just rolled her eyes.
