A few years ago we started a tradition with our friends that we love.  Our friends are truly our “chosen family”…we are so lucky to be surrounded by amazing friends to raise our children with, celebrate the good times with, and support each other through the rough times.  A few weeks before Thanksgiving we have a “Friendsgiving” potluck party.  All of our friends bring a side dish or dessert, Dada cooks a turkey, and everyone has a chance to visit and catch up!  Thanks to our buddy Dean who hijacked mama’s camera for a while and took some photos for us!  Doug and “Douglet”… Traffic in Atlanta can really get to you…Don’t make me come over there!!!  Joe busting up a traffic jam between Hank and Avett… Jenny & Hank  Charlotte & Levi enjoying some time on the slide…  Joe, Justyce and Avett mugging for the camera! Jon, Dean, Merry, & Jaimie…love these people! NayNay! Kirty and Papa spend some time catching up on the deck… NayNay with the kiddos on the porch swing…  Andy took everyone for wagon rides…    Avett is a big fan of Nana’s bacon deviled eggs…CeeCee walked him around the deck…like dangling a carrot in front of a horse!  : ) Double Trouble…

Dada made a wonderful turkey breast on the Big Green Egg! Nana & Gma assembled deviled eggs for everyone!Papa wanted to skip the turkey and go straight for Renee’s homemade pumpkin pie!   We had more kids here this year than ever!  The kids table is growing!    Coen!  : ) Humza by the fire working on his AMAZING sketches…unreal talent!!!  After dinner the kids enjoyed a screening of Madagascar II while playing in the basement…
