Thanksgiving with the McPhillips!

Every Thanksgiving John and I alternate between my mom's side of the family and his dad's side of the family. I always look forward to going to John's dad's side, because they spend a week at the beach! HELLO! Who wouldn't love that?!!? Not to mention the 50-60 relatives that we rarely get to see! The last time most of his relatives saw us was when Addison was 6 weeks old. So, I took Monday off of work to get the family packed and ready... what a job! Packing for 3 for a week is tough! John recently purchased for the family an AppleTV, which is one of the most incredible inventions. You can buy tv shows from itunes, download them to the AppleTV and then pack up the device and take it with you and plug it up to a tv there. We were never without Mickey Mouse or Imagination Movers! We also packed up our 42" flat screen tv in the car. John always wants the best picture possible! :) I, of course, forgot my camera. I have ZERO pictures of Addison with this side of the family. I hope we get to see everyone at Joseph and Tracie's wedding this summer. Thanksgiving evening, Addison got 3 fingers caught in an extremely heavy door. I was positive they were broken and she was going to lose one of her finger nails. We had it checked when we got back into town, and everything was fine. It rained Friday when we left, so it was a yucky drive back. We drove Addison to Birmingham and dropped her off with Boom-Pa and GiGi(my dad and step-mom) and John and I headed for Tuscaloosa for the Iron Bowl. Addison had her very own purple tree to decorate with Mickey Mouse ornaments. I think she was really proud of it!! 

We also got the proofs back from Addison's 2 year pictures with Stacie Dunn and they are adorable!! Here is the link if you would like to look at them. There are only 80 pictures!
