Thanksgiving in Arkansas

Last Tuesday, the girls and I ditched DJ for Thanksgiving at my mom's house. We haven't been home for Thanksgiving in a few years, so we were excited to head home. 
8 hours in the car with this crew. Thankfully, we survived with charged tablets and a Hamilton sing a long. 
We celebrated our Thanksgiving on Wednesday so my brother could be home. He's a fireman and was scheduled to work Thanksgiving day. Gee and Papaw took the girls down to the haystacks to get a few pictures of the cousins together. 
Then, they came home for some baking. Gretchen was a huge help and baked pumpkin pie and helped Gee a ton. Megan was just in it for the photo op. She mixed up the dressing and then ran off to play. 
We snacked on our favorite cheese ball. 
And headed back down to play on the hay bales. I mean, what else should we do on Thanksgiving in the country. 

Megan of course, did cartwheels. 
Sweet sister-cousins. 
These girls were made for country life. 

After a quick game of hide and seek we headed back to the house to warm up. Y'all, it was cold in Arkansas and we were not ready for it! 
But, we were ready for the food! 
My mother always has a beautifully decorated kitchen table. 
Siblings! 
We were stuffed and full of pie.
These two were wonderful cooks! 
Thanksgiving morning, we settled in to watch the Macy's Parade, and then we headed to Branson! 
All snuggled in Christmas pj's and ready for bed! 
These girls were pumped for a little getaway and had all decided they would sleep in the living room, and then both of them ended up in my bed! Ha!

It was so fun to celebrate Thanksgiving at home in Arkansas.
