Thanksgiving and Family

This year we had such a awesome Thanksgiving. Travis was able to take off this year and spend time with me and Mackenzie along with his family. We went to Charlottesville for the day before Thanksgiving and left the following evening around 7:30. Our thought with that was that Mackenzie would sleep in the car. We had a great visit with Travis's family there was a total of 26 people there. Travis and I got to ride on some four wheelers before we left for Richmond to spend time with my family. We went to Richmond and spent a few hours visiting with the family Thursday night. Travis and I were able to go out on black Friday for the morning by our self an shop a little. It was great being able to do that. With Travis's busy schedule we don't get to go out very often alone.
My family also has this tradition every year. The day after Thanksgiving we always have a bond fire. Most of the family and some friends come and we will have a huge cook out, of course smore's and a hay ride. I think this year we probably had around 40 people. Mackenzie loves animals so when she saw the mules she was so excited. She spent the rest of the night going to different people trying to get them to take her to see them. I did take her on one ride in the pen.
This year we went to two different bond fires. After we got home Saturday night we went over to a friends house and we had a bond fire and Mackenzie had her first marshmallow which was hilarious. We ended the night by putting Mackenzie to bed and the adults played cards. I feel so blessed that Mackenzie has always adjusted well to sleeping wherever we are at so I don't have to end my night at 7 when she goes to bed.
