Thanksgiving!

This year, we had a very quiet and small Thanksgiving right here in Charlotte!  It was just the four of us, and I still managed to fix way too much food.  Well, I thought  I fixed too much, but it turns out that I have been starving Lyndon for the past couple of weeks, so he pretty much ate everything!  We also decided to dress the table and actually light candles in an effort to have a bit of formality with the boys.  This included letting the boys use "real" plates rather than plastic ones.  As we sat down, Bubba threw a fit for his standard, plastic plate. I guess I have them pretty well trained!  We also took the boys to Lowe's Motor Speedway.  They had a really nice Christmas light display and lots of activities for the kids and Santa! 

One of the many request for dinner!

Can you see my ghosts behind the curtain?

We had dinner at the restaurant at the track.  This was the view!

The "baked" village!

Tunnel of lights leading to the display.

One one side of the track, they had an entire display synchronized to music.  I was mesmerized and could have watched it all night!

They donated hundreds of car kits and let all of the kids build their own wooden cars.

My favorite part was the letters to Santa.  They had these cute cards for the kids.

They could write their wish list on the back.  Logan's is above.

Then, they had the cutest mail center for the kids to mail their letter to Santa!

They also had a petting zoo with some of the most aggressive animals I have ever seen! They nearly broke their necks to get to food, and none of them really needed it!

Huge turkeys!

Train ride!

A few carnival rides!

Maybe next year, Lyndon and I won't have to be in the picture with Santa!
