Thanksmas 2011 Part 1

**WARNING**

Since my Dad and I are both pretty avid photographers, just wanted you to be aware that the next few posts will have A LOT of pictures! Hope you enjoy!

As you may know, our annual tradition with my Dad is to do what we refer to as Thanksmas. We pick a date somewhere between Thanksgiving and Christmas to get together for the weekend and celebrate both. We headed up to Dad's after work on December 16th. Since it's usually pretty late when we arrive, we visit a bit and then usually head upstairs and call it a night.

The next day was spent mostly playing about as hard as two kiddos (and four grown-ups) possibly can.



Later that day, we packed up and headed into town to go to the science center in Murfreesboro. This was our first experience there and Isaac and Layla both had a ball. Amanda and Callie Grace met us there so all of the kids were together. It's a really neat place and one that we will definitely visit again.



Back at Papa's house, we settled in and had some dinner. Then it was time for the fun part.....

PRESENTS!!!



This is Layla posing for the camera and giving it her best "CHEESE"!!



After a fun-filled day, it was time to hit the sack and prepare for day #2 at Papa and Nana's.......
