Thanksgiving Followed by Christmas

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!  We decided to eat at 1:00 p.m. So we relaxed around our rooms until time to go.  Our family, along with lots of other families, choose to eat Thanksgiving Dinner at the Cracker Barrel.  As we put our names on the waiting list, we were told it would be an hour wait.  Thankfully, we only waited 15 minutes.  We all had their special Thanksgiving dinner...turkey and ham, sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, cranberry relish, green beans, rolls, cornbread muffins, and pumpkin/pecan pie.  It was very good but just too much food.  Everyone but Carol took their pie back to our rooms.

We all had a "rocking good time" at the Cracker Barrel.

When we got back to our room, we had Christmas.  Katie and Aidan couldn't wait to tear into those packages and made quick work of finding out what was inside of the boxes.
They spent the rest of the afternoon playing with new toys.

It is hard to believe, but about 5:30 Carol was ready to find something to eat so we drove around, finding very few places open.  He had to settle for an Arby's.  Now we are all settled in, tummies full and wore out from celebrating two holidays in one day.
