We got dressed and headed over to Natchez, Mississippi to treat Turner to a special day filled with things she loves!
We did some shopping and played a few games in the mall arcade and finished up our celebration with cupcakes and a special "5" candle. Turner was pretty exhausted, but I think she enjoyed her special day!
On Thanksgiving morning, Turner and her Daddy did lots more fishing while we waited for the arrival of Mark's extended family.
The family arrived and the house of 6 people quickly turned into a house filled with 28 people - from over 80 years old to two years old and everything in between! It has been around 3 or 4 years since all these families have gathered together in one place, from as far away as Michigan, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, and Louisiana. It was a sweet time to visit and reconnect with those we don't see often enough.
Turner and cousin Ellie hit it off quickly and these two spent most of the day playing and squealing!
Much to our surprise, amid three tangled lines from fishing pole that were left out during lunch, we found a nice sized fish on the hook when we went down to the pier. Turner was determined that they were going to cook and clean that fish - and her sweet Daddy and Grandpa granted her request!
A beautiful ending to a beautiful day of giving thanks and enjoying family.
