Thanksgiving...Talbert-style!

We headed down to Brunswick to spend the holiday weekend with Ben's parents & brother. Oma & Opa are serial movers, and had relocated since our visit last November.  Albeit, they just moved across the neighborhood...but still, we had not yet been down to visit since they have been in their new house.

We arrived around 1:30am on Thursday morning (after a 5-hour drive with no stops!) and managed to smoothly unpack & put the kids down by 2 am.  Thursday was full of food, football & family.  It was so much fun to see the boys interacting with their grandparents who they don't see nearly often enough.  We were lucky enough to overlap a day with Ben's half-brother William & his family.  Jackson loves his cousin Cora & had so much fun playing with her. 

We spent Friday afternoon on St. Simons and finished off the day with a low country boil  with Lill's entire family.  Saturday, the boys we spent most of the day on the couch watching several awesome football games.  Epic win for NC State!  Jackson & Uncle Jon were buddies all weekend; its amazing how Jon can be "mean" to Jackson & call him a baby enough for him to willingly give up his paci.  (Whereas, I couldn't bribe him out of it.)

Oma & Opa's new house is right on the water & has the most gorgeous view out back.  It was like a painting!  We took lots of pictures & actually managed to get a semi-decent one for our Christmas card.  No worries, I'm not going to reveal it on here =)

And true to form, we only got 1 (yes, ONE) picture of Oma.  Unbelievable.  But its hard to be in the pictures when you are in the kitchen cooking up yummy food all weekend.
