Yes, I’m just now getting around to blogging our Thanksgiving adventure. Give a girl a break! :)<\/p>\n

It all started with a simple text from Lisa<\/a>. We were on our way to Taylor and Micheal’s engagement session<\/a>, when she asked if we’d be open to a cabin trip over Thanksgiving. Obviously, we were all in. Huck Finn, too. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Huck’s favorite part of the trip? Family cuddle time in bed. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a cabin full of girls, this was bound to happen. ;)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was my first Thanksgiving to ever help with the turkey. Thank God Lisa had the foresight to bring gloves!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oh, and it was bacon covered… Thank goodness for Lisa Stoner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The original plan was for Nate and Jeffrey<\/a> to bring in a picnic table from out back and eat in the kitchen. Somewhere between them\u00a0realizing a solid oak picnic table isn’t the easiest thing to bring up hill and Lisa<\/a> and I realizing how romantic a Thanksgiving dinner via fireside would be, we moved our meal outside. Lisa, being the amazing wedding planner<\/a> she is, thought of so many charming details to bring to the dinner, including a clothesline of photos. <3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The view of our dinner set up from our cabin. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Carolina brought her own charms to the table. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Huck slept.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Us, Thanksgiving dinner 2011. <3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Favorite.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On our last night, we explored downtown Helen, Georgia, where Jeffrey proved he can make anything<\/em> look good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Helen, Georgia had it all!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We ended the evening with a rousing game of Disney Monopoly. Huck called banker.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First time to win AND my first time to not cheat. Lesson learned. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

*happy sigh.*<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lisa and Jeffrey hammock-ing before heading home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The drive home was gorgeous! The scenery wasn’t too bad, either. ;)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So ready to rinse and repeat next year! :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More Happy Travels :<\/strong><\/p>\n
