Thanksgiving

Let me start by saying we have SO much to be thankful for... Two wonderful loving families that raised us (and still raise us haha)... a BEAUTIFUL and VERY SMART daughter... three crazy pets.... a loving dedicated marriage... a nice home... oh I could just go on forever. We are truly, truly blessed!!

Anyway - this Thanksgiving we had plans to go to Tryon, but had so much going on here it was going to be hard to go up and come back and still get everything done. So then we planned to go to the farm in Hurtsboro for a day - and the "stuff" just got in the way (plus we just decided it was too long of a trip for AC to make in one day)... so then we decided to go to my parents for a small fam dinner. Caron and Michael were able to make it because it wasn't on Thanksgiving day so it was nice to see them.

We had the typical Bell family meal of ham, green beans, sweet potato casserole, dinner rolls and mac and cheese. AC got to run around and play with Wyatt and Allie and had a blast.

OH - and we also got our hard backed books from Aunt Bev of our entire family history tracing back to the Mayflower!! We are actually descendants of Francis Cooke who was one of the few men to survive the winter and celebrate the first Thanksgiving!!! I'll have to post more on this book... it's HUGE and has photos, stories and so much family history - it's truly a treasure!!
