Thanksgiving in Florida

Hope everyone had a great holiday! Ours had its ups and downs. My grandmother died after a long, 25-year battle with Parkinsons the Sunday before Thanksgiving. So we drove down early to attend her funeral on Tuesday. She will be greatly missed, and we are so glad she was able to see Harrison a few times before her death.

We spent the actual Thanksgiving holiday in Jacksonville, FL with the Eschens who live there. My cousin Stephanie was getting married that Saturday, so we ended the week on a fun, high note! Harrison was a dancing machine at the reception, he had such a great time and was exhausted when we left. We didn't get any good pictures, unfortunately, because it was dark in there.

Also - Go Hokies, Deacons and Gators, who all had big wins on Saturday!

Harrison helped clean up after Thanksgiving dinner! All of the family from the groom's and bride's side gathered at the hotel for a big potluck meal which was delicious. Harrison had been stalking the hotel's cleaning ladies, and one of them let him borrow her sweeper!



We went to the rehearsal dinner Friday night at a really neat restaurant on the St. John's River. Harrison was a hit there as well! Everyone wanted a high-five or to be blown a kiss.





They had chicken tenders at the wedding reception, which were a huge hit with Harrison!
