Thanksgiving 2012 in Atlanta

Thanksgiving started out with parties in the kids classroom. For fall. Walter's class actually had a Thanksgiving feast (1st grade classes do this every year), and it was the cutest thing. They made either pilgrim hats or Indian hats and wore then during the party. So cute.









This year was our year to go to Atlanta for Thanksgiving. It was so much fun. Because of all the days off we had from school we were able to spend almost a week with Walter's parents. It was a great time to be with them and to just replax and do nothing. The kids had fun staying up late, eating whatever they wanted and having smores at Mrs. Ruthies. Walter and I shopped Black Friday and shopped and shopped and I think we slept even more. We left Gram & Papa's a day early to head to Athens for the big UGA vs. GA Tech game. The kids first football game. What a great trip it was!!!

UGA vs. Georgia Tech

We took the kids to there first UGA game on Saturday and they LOVED it! It was so fun to watch Walter experience his old stomping grounds with the kids. They were a little skeptical at first (b/c college football is way different than NFL), but after the first quarter, they loosed up and started yelling and cheering along with everyone else.
We arrived Saturday in time for the game. It was blazing hot and we had really good seats in the sun. After the game, we checked into the hotel and went to grab a bite to eat. Needless to say we were all whipped. On Sunday we hit the Starbucks in downtown Athens and then walked around campus with the children. They thought it was really neat to see where Daddy went to school. However, they didn't quite understand why he had to carry his books instead of putting them in the locker? "Why didn't you have a locker Daddy??"
Hopefully we can make this a tradition and take them to a game....or two..every year!
