Russell & I enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving - Christmas - Baby Shower weekend in Louisiana over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend! Since Rhys is due January 25th, and I'm not supposed to travel from about Christmas time on, we wanted to make the most of our weekend with our Louisiana family. It will be at least late January until we get to see them again.
On Thursday, we celebrated Thanksgiving during the day and then Christmas that evening.

On Friday, Russell and his dad and uncle went deer hunting and black-powder rifle shooting, while the girls and I :) stayed back on the homestead. Claudia cooked yummy seafood gumbo, which we all enjoyed! It was just a good, relaxing day before a busy next day....
On Saturday, Rhys was absolutely showered yet again with much love and fun gifts! Whew! It was a whirlwind of a morning...not enough time to visit with so many wonderful people. Russell and I are thankful for such loving and generous family. We are so supported, for which we praise our Lord!

Above, all the yummy goodies at the shower! Notice to the right...my favorite...
Aunt Ora's Fresh Apple Cake, baked by our sweet Aunt Sharon. :) Also, my favorite sandwiches...chicken salad...YUM! Thank you, Tami!!!
Below, you've gotta look through Russell's and my facial expressions as we open gifts...all too funny! :)
