THANKSGIVING 2009

We headed to The Farm in Virginia to hang out with some family we hadn't seen in a while. Of course as soon as Nola saw Tripp it was like they were never apart. They are so cute together!

We heard this often: "Nola! Come here I need you! What Tripp! I'm coming!"

And they LOVE their Gator...as long as Tripp drives and Nola is the co-pilot.
Tripp cries if he doesn't drive and when Nola drives she looks backwards as she hits the gas. Watch out!

One of the big parts of Thanksgiving this year was tagging, cutting, and bailing all the trees going home to New Orleans. I only had to pick out my tree and then I got to take pictures.

Nola & Tripp were in the peanut gallery, bossing everybody!

Everyone helping...I was giving words of encouragement from behind the camera!

Thanksgiving day the kids had special plates!
Tripp was sleeping during dinner and Nola sat for 5 minutes, but it looked cute!

Their placemats!
I had fun coloring it! Hee-Hee

After dinner the kids got the wishbone to break and make a wish.

"Tripp, I got it...I got it!"

"Nana, we can't do it. Can you help us please?"

On Friday we headed to a winery near the house. I was so excited I had never been before. Chateau Morrissette was the name of the winery.

We started with a tour of the place.

More vats of wine!

"Cool tour, but can we get to the tasting?"

All they got a taste of was some chips and some coloring pages which sort of kept them occupied while we did our tasting.

On our last day we rolled out some sugar cookie mix to make Christmas cookies. The process was pretty fun but the product was a little crazy!

Thanks for a fun time at the farm!
We can't wait till next time!
