Thanksgiving Travels

Jay and I got to spend a wonderful four days in Little Rock for our Thanksgiving holiday!  I unfortunately had to work a full day on Wednesday so we didn't head out until 5:30.  We got stopped in terrible traffic headed out of KC and it took us over TWO HOURS to travel 15 miles-- ugh!  It was a long night so we decided to stop in Rogers, Arkansas to spend the night at my sister and brother-in-law's house.  We were so thankful that their house was right in the middle of our trip!  We got up Thursday morning early and were headed out the door before 7:00am!  A beautiful day for a drive to Little Rock! 

We arrived a Rob and Billie's a little before 10 and got to hang out until everyone came over for a delicious Thanksgiving lunch!  After lunch we were all so full and pooped so we took a long afternoon nap!!  Thursday evening we just hung out and watched some football.  Friday we braved the crowds at Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond, Sam's, and Academy Sports.  We had such a yummy lunch at El Porton-- authentic Mexican-- and headed home for another rest.  Friday night Rob, Billie, Jay and I went over to Maw Maw and Deda's for a fantastic roast prepared by Maw Maw and helped her with her Christmas decorations.  After dinner Jay and I went over to Matt and Akina's to watch a movie and hang out.  Saturday while the boys were golfing Billie and I got out to got shopping again-- we found some great deals!  For lunch we celebrated Matt's birthday with Firehouse Subs and a scrumptous cake!  Saturday night was the Arkansas vs. LSU game and I went to Buffalo Grill to watch it with my friend Allison while Jay went to his friend Drew's.  Sunday morning we went to Rob and Billie's new church then said good-bye and headed home.  It was such a great trip and we are so thankful for our wonderful friends and family!!
