Recap of our Week in Georgia

Before I move on to Christmas, here's a glimpse of the fun we had while in Georgia for Thanksgiving.  I think this was the first trip to visit J's family in quite a while that everyone has remained healthy throughout.  Always a plus!

The kids had a blast with their "uncles & cousins," as Jake referred to the family.  Aunts, don't worry, they loved being with you too!
A special treat that week was getting to visit Uncle Mark's horse, Mr. Big.  Uncle Mark plays polo, & after seeing him ride a horse, he's pretty much a celebrity with our crew.  This is not Mr. Big, just a really big horse near the fence where we parked.  Jake & Mal were excited & a little nervous to stand so close to it.
Belle riding with her daddy & stopping to say hello to her cheering section
Jake rode twice with Uncle Mark & even got to "go really fast," aka canter.  He was in heaven!
Mallory chose not to ride, but did pose for a pic with Mr. Big & Uncle Mark.  (Rach, I need to get that from you!)  She also let Mr. Big eat a treat from her hand.

Back at Mimi's house, Beau checked the ads to get ready for his Black Friday shopping.
 
iPhone, anyone?
Ella & Jake are good buddies & usually partners in some kind of mischief.
Jake & Mallory got to have a special breakfast in their pajamas one morning with Mimi & Pops at Waffle House.
Fun times with Pops...
& Mimi!
In addition to Justin's parents & siblings, we also got to spend time with J's aunt & uncle & their crew, & his grandparents.  Here's Jake, Pa, Gigi, Mal, Beau & J.
 
We can't wait to see you all again soon!
