Turkey Day at Pop Pop and Nana Spraggins' House!

I guess Aunt Amelia had a little too much Eltriptophan in the Turkey!

This is the tree limb where the boys decided to hang about 10 ornaments!

Well, it's been almost a week since my last visit. We have been a little busy with the Thanksgiving Holiday and everything. We had a great Thanksgiving and always have so much to be thankful for. We went to Tullahoma this year for Thanksgiving. We left on Wednesday and stayed until Friday morning and then went to Huntsville to visit with Matt's family and his cousin Keri. Keri lives in Arizona. She has never seen Jake so we wanted Jake to meet her and visit for a while. We just stayed a few hours and then headed back to Franklin. On Saturday, we got up early and cleaned up the house; getting ready for the Christmas decorations. Matt and I got up in the attic and brought down several green and red boxes full of Christmas decor!!!! We spent most of the morning decorating. We then made the excursion to Home Depot to find a Christmas tree. We found the perfect one and loaded it up on the car and put it up that night. I made some homemade vegetable soup for Paige and Lance to eat that night. Paige hasn't been feeling well, so I thought some soup might do the trick. I also made Lance some cornbread muffins. He loves cornbread!
We decorated the tree that night with Will and Jake. It was so cute watching them put all the ornaments on the tree. We explained to them what some of the ornaments were; like the one that Matt and I had when we first were married and the "Baby's first Christmas" one, etc... Will loves to hear stories about things. Jake could have cared less. He just wanted to hang them up. It was funny b/c they kept hanging all the ornaments on one branch. The branch started sagging and I said,"Boys, I think you need to spread the ornaments around, don't hang the ornaments all on one branch." I took pics and made a video. These are moments we will remember forever.
We went to church today and had a great speaker from Franklin Christian Church. Very lively man. He has so much passion for the Lord. I wish we all had that kind of passion. Does he know something that I don't? Probably so. I need to get in that Bible and read more. Can't wait for the next Beth Moore study. Should be in January.
The boys played outside most of the day today with Miranda. Madeline came over for a while and then Jennifer (Madeline's mom) had to get back to her baby. She just had a baby boy about 2 months ago. Sweet baby boy!
Me, Matt and the boys went to visit Paige and Lance tonight. The boys love going over there b/c they play with Maddox (the bulldog). We didn't stay very long and then we headed for Cracker Barrel. Jake can spot a Cracker Barrel a mile away! He says, "I love the butter and the biscuits." Me too.
I'll write more later.
