Thanksgiving in sweet home Alabama

We had a cozy, country, joyful Thanksgiving this year in Alabama, at the Lafferty home.  

The Streeter family joined us as well, from Maryland. 

It was sweet to be surrounded by family, for Finn to meet his cousins, to feast, play games, and relax for the weekend. 

Here we are slaving away in the kitchen... NOT.  

Believe or not Bryce did most of the cooking. We sure love him AND his food! 

Laurel, playing around. We hope!

The kids created these turkeys, making the home a bit more festive for the Holiday.

Arden surprised us with a banner she created for each of us to write what we are thankful for.

The day after Thanksgiving we celebrated Adda's birthday!

After cake and ice cream, we took a trip to the bowling alley to party it up some more.

Laurel gave the following captions to our bowling alley photo shoots.

Adda. She actually sets it down and then kicks it down the lane!

Arden, known as super Arden at the bowling alley.

Jeff. He's got mad bowling skills (and awesome dance moves too).

Isaac. "I drivin' fast, mama"

Laurel. Sucks at bowling (says everyone in the bowling alley... and down the road, and around the corner, and in the next state over...)

Darlaina. She's a trick bowler (and she only broke all the nails on ONE hand!)

Asa. He can bowl with his eyes closed.

Jack. He's got the moves.

 

Finn. Future bowling champion!

Brit. Champion of the women.

Olie. Willing her ball the way it should go.

Bryce. He can teach you too.

Ben. Champion of the men.

Ainsley, she's got style.

Ashby. Who knew she'd kick all our butts.

Uncle Ben. Master of the claw!

Top ten ribs to eat before you die... Cooter Brown's in Alabama. 

Sooo good! 

Alabama turned out not to be so bad after all. 

We will be back, if not, to see the Lafferty family, for some more of Cooter Brown's rib shack! 

Thank you, Lafferty's, for being the hostess with the mostest! We sure love and miss ya'll!
