Thanksgiving in Greenville...

We went to Greenville for Thanksgiving and stayed thru the Clemson - Carolina game. We drove up Thursday morning with our green beans and bourbon chocolate chip pecan pie for the big feast. We ate at mom & dad's with all of the Batcheldors and the Blameys. After a wonderful meal - the girls went to see Four Christmases and the dads took the kids to see Madagascar 2 ( Pops and Jasper savored all that quiet alone at the house).

Friday, we (Jennifer & I) tried to take a good
picture of the four kids.
And here is a sample of what we got...

Sydney (8) - Cole (5) - Carson (5) - Molly (6)

After pictures, Jeff and I took the boys to play golf at the par-3 course by the interstate. They had a great time and we all enjoyed the absolutely beautiful weather. It's always a little weird to take the two boys out - everyone thinks they are twins! Luckily for us, they are just cousins (but they are exactly 2 weeks apart in age - with Carson being older). And Jennifer took the girls out to get their nails done. Friday night, we took the kids to downtown Greenville for some of our favorite pizza and to see the holiday lights and the St. Francis Festival of Trees at the Hyatt.

Saturday was the big game - Clemson vs Carolina. And a big change in the weather. Rain, cold, and more rain! We layered on all the warm, waterproof clothes we could find and headed to the game. (Molly & Carson stayed in Greenville with Muv & Pops.) We had a great time hanging out with friends and watching some great football. It's always great football when the Tigers win!
