I decided I need to squeeze in our Thanksgiving post before Christmas Day so that I can finally catch up. We spent Thanksgiving in Lilburn, GA with Chad's family and enjoyed a good bit of football, food and family (you know, the typical Thanksgiving stuff).
Wednesday we spent some time at the Yellow River Game Ranch. This was our first trip and the best way I can explain it is as a petting zoo/trail with random other caged animals. Some animals roamed freely and would approach you for snacks, while others begged loudly from their respective cages. The saltine crackers Abigail had to offer them seemed pretty popular and she enjoyed feeding the animals while snacking on the crackers herself.
Abigail LOVES riding on Chad's shoulders but insists on "hanging on" by grabbing both of his ears. I'm not sure how that started, but she finds them to be excellent handles for her ride. 
Hunter, Christopher's dog, got to spend Thanksgiving with us too and Abigail was THRILLED!!! He was such a good sport and let Abigail do anything she wanted to, usually without budging at all. I am sure he is used to it with Madison and Olivia, but Abigail didn't give him much of a break while he was there. These next pictures capture a glimpse of her admiration for Hunter.
Abigail enjoyed getting in on the cooking action as well. Grammy let her "help" with the green beans for the big Thanksgiving meal,
and Me Mommy needed her "help" with the biscuits one morning too. Everything turned out edible, so she didn't do too much damage in the kitchen.
Needless to say, after being away from home for a week and with multiple stops to see friends in Birmingham on the way there and on the way back, we had one tired little girl on our hands. This is what I saw when I looked back after being on the road for literally three minutes.
