Thanksgiving in the Mountains

Thanksgiving kicks off my favorite time of the year. Everything about this season is so special. I enjoy everything from remembering to remain thankful to celebrating our Savior and keeping with family traditions. This Thanksgiving we all decided to continue the tradition and go to Gatlinburg after staying home for the past 2 years.
Since I was not able to be home with my side of the family I made it a point to help out as much as I could before I left. I was able to make dessert for the family and I got cards for my mom and dad's side of the family. I know they all had a fun time from all the stories I have heard. :)
We had our Thanksgiving meal the Friday before with Kyle's grandmother since she was not able to go with us to Gatlinburg. On Thanksgiving day we all hung around our condo sifting through the paper for sales and watching movies/shows. That evening we all sat down and enjoyed a yummy bowl of stew and grilled cheese sandwiches. After we ate we walked around down town Gatlinburg. Cole loves Fannie Farkles, so we stopped in there to play some arcade games. Kyle, once again hit jackpot and won tons of tickets! :) Around 11:30 that night Kyle and I headed to Walmart to get some DVDs that we saw in the paper earlier. The next day was BLACK FRIDAY!!! The girls went shopping while the boys went to the Flea Market. We all got lots of good things!

Kyle and I always enjoy our time in the Smokies and we always look forward to going back as soon as we get home. :) We left on Sunday, a day before everyone else, so that we could go get our Fresh Christmas Tree! I will post pictures soon of our tree and some fun decorations around our home! :)
