Thanksgiving

 For Thanksgiving we went to Tiff's house in Kentucky.  We had an interesting trip.  On the way down we stopped at a McDonalds for the kids to play and Carter came down the slide head first and he was crying.  I comforted him and then try to put him down but he wouldn't put any weight on it.  We arrived at Tiff's house and he was in a lot of pain and still wouldn't walk so I took him into the ER at 4:30 AM.  The Dr. took some Xrays but couldn't find any definite break, but a possible break so he put a soft cast on.  Carter was so sad after that.  This picture is what Carter looked like most of the weekend, playing on the Ipad or watching TV.  I didn't sleep well at all.  One night Carter threw up, then cried and wanted to watch TV.  It was a rough weekend.  I felt bad because I had to carry Carter everywhere or hold him because he was in pain, so I couldn't help that much with the Thanksgiving dinner.  What made it even harder was that Carter hates taking medicine so that was a struggle too.  (10 days later I took Carter to an orthopedic Dr. and he took better xrays and said there is no break but obviously he is hurt.  I opted to not put on a cast.  I was hoping he would start walking with out it.  He is just starting to stand up and take a few steps but he is limping..  Poor kid.  We don't really know what pains him but he is getting better)

 On Saturday we went to Bass Pro shop and it was out of control.  It was huge and amazing but it also had a winter wonderland there too.  They had a ton of free things for the kids to do.   A snow ball fight, carousel, shooting ducks, driving remote control race cars, writing letters to Sants, and much more.  We spent about 2 hours there.  It was so awesome. 

These two played so well together and danced and played played played. We are so lucky to have great cousins and family close to share the holidays with

The dinner was great.  The sweet potatoe dish was awesome, fudge, apple pie, stuffing, oreo pie, and amazing turkey.  What a great feast.  We are so blessed.  Even with a rough beginning with Carter hurt, we truly are blessed with so much.
