4 hole thanksgiving 08

Once again this year we headed south to 4 hole swamp in the country of Holly Hill, SC to spend the day giving thanks for where we are in life....we didn't get the best pictures this year (we were busy playing corn hole and cooking) but here are a couple of the ones we did manage to take...

cheez-it picnic with the cousins, the official salty snack of the Jacksons

our sweet little girls

the old fish house, I love this picture. I learned to cane pole fish here and we'd have fish fries and hush puppies here....this is the oldest pond on Grandmama and Granddaddy's land...

Celia and Dave had some great bonding time....she went hunting with him for the first time! The night before Dave had killed a 5 pt so he generously welcomed a little one in the stand with him. She was loaded down with layers of clothes, lots of snacks, books, and a pen and pad to help her stay quiet. She came back announcing "Mom....no luck." Oh well Cel, maybe next time!

Milla's first bite of turkey

Ben and Dave brought the table outside this year since the weather was so beautiful. It was great to enjoy even our meal outside! It was followed by lots of croquet and cornole.

Celia and Samuel eating Aunt Wizzy's awesome pumpkin pie. We had such a great Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for.....
