Thanksgiving in Mississippi

Our trip to Mississippi was quite the experience as it was our 4th trip in less then a month. We went to Macon for an early Thanksgiving, then to Gatlinberg, I headed back to Macon to visit my mom who was in the hospital and then the next day we headed to Mississippi. As much as I hate packing and unpacking, I had honestly reached just about my limit but somehow we made it. We had not been to Mississippi to visit Preston's relatives for about 5 years so it was a great to get to see everyone. The kiddos did wonderful in the car for the six hour trip. We were a little nervous as it was one of our first long trips with fully potty trained toddlers. We decided to bring our little potty with us so I didn't have to put my sweet little Gracie on all the germy pottys along the way and it was the best decision ever! Little boys are so much easier as on road trips we like to chose the behind the tree option. We had enjoyed catching up with everyone and showing off our little ones as it was the first time that many of our relatives had met them. We especially loved playing with our cousins; James, Justin and Jackson who came all the way from Chicago. They were super sweet to take extra time to play and show the twins their love. The twins had a blast at Chuckee Cheese for their last night with their cousins. The long drive was worth reconnecting with family and reminded us that family is what we truly are Thankful for this Thanksgiving. We were also very thankful to return home and rest after a very busy month!
