Well, Thanksgiving didn't go quite as planned! We originally planned to head to Myrtle Beach to spend time with David's parents, but unfortunately Abuelo ended up in the hospital. He was very lucky and everything is ok now thank goodness!
Because Abuelo was in the hospital, David headed down to Myrtle Beach to be with his parents and the kids and I went to Chapel Hill so we wouldn't have to spend Thanksgiving alone. That's twice in the past 3 years we have had to spend it apart!
Before we headed to Chapel Hill, my good friend from high school Rizzo and her mom came for a visit. Hunter really took to Mama Rizzo!
When we did get to Chapel Hill we got to see Donovan, Michelle, and Eliza. Unfortunately, Donovan and Eliza had to head back to NY the next day.
Finley did soak up as much time with Uncle Donovan as he could though!
They played and built a fort that Finley "slept" in that night. Never. Again!
But he still had a good time despite my lack of sleep.
The day before Thanksgiving my mom and sister went to go help prep food at 411 for the team Thanksgiving dinner. The boys and I decided we needed to get out of the house so we went to University Mall. Finley got to "see" Roy Williams. LOL.
The boys got their first taste of ice cream from a Maple View farms kiosk! Yum!
We walked around, got some energy out, and took in the decorations!
The boys really enjoyed being at Mimi's house and I was grateful for any extra help I could get! Not having David at night was so rough and definitely took its toll on me.
One plus to being in Chapel Hill was that I got to have a girls night out with some of my high school besties!
On Thanksgiving we went to 411 west where the team would have Thanksgiving dinner.
The boys enjoyed running around and helping set up!
Mimi and Michelle made some beautiful table decorations.
The timing of the "dinner" was right during the babies afternoon nap time so we weren't able to stay and enjoy the meal with everyone.
Luckily Mimi packed up some food for us and we were able to enjoy it that evening with David! Hooray! We were so glad to be back together again!
We didn't get to spend too much time with Pop Pop as his team was busy practicing and getting ready for their next big game!
During the day we took the boys the the Children's museum Kudzu in Chapel Hill.
They really enjoyed exploring and climbing all over everything!
We can't wait to go back again!
While we were in town Pop Pop had a big game which they won to make it into the final four of the NCAA tournament! Go Heels!
David and I stayed back with the babies, but Finley had a great time with Auntie Michelle and Mimi!
Even though things didn't go as planned this Thanksgiving we did our best to turn lemons into lemonade. We were glad to spend time in Chapel Hill with my family and so grateful that Abuelo is going to make a full recovery!
