Thanksgiving with Friends

I didn't take a ton of pictures this year. But here's a few.

We celebrated Thanksgiving at our house with 16 adults and 12 children. A full house with lots of wonderful food and fellowship!



 Matt smoked and then fried the turkey. It was DELICIOUS! We will definitely be cooking it like that from now on!

Ellijay with the Cornett Fam

We had a great visit to Ellijay, GA to see Matt's family a couple of weeks ago. Grandma Ellie drove down from South Carolina to spend a few days with us. John, Deb and Orson drove from North Carolina to spend the weekend with us as well. We got to celebrate Orson's first birthday too!


 And we drove down to Rome, GA because John had a meeting for work there. We decided to go along so that we could hang out them and bit more and to see the Berry College campus where John and Deb attended college.
 Orson is not officially walking yet, but he is running everywhere with this little walk behind toy!
 When John and Matt were growing up, Michael and Gabe were vegetarians  So, Michael had never grilled a steak for these two boys. We spent an evening at the ranch, around the fire, while Michael grilled some delicious goat steaks for all of us. These two were very excited to eat their first ever dad grilled steak!
