A Walton Thanksgiving

We got to celebrate Thanksgiving at Nanny and Pa's new house, which was wonderful. We actually fit our entire family in the kitchen to pray before the meal. It was great to work in the kitchen on Thanksgiving. We had three people making three different things and we never got in each other's way. We could have even had a couple more and it would have been fine. Anyway...the cake above is the cake that Aunt Patty and I decorated for the festivies. We started on the flowers and leaves the day before. Then we put it all together on Thanksgiving morning. We figured out that we spent about 6 or 7 hours on it.
Several years ago all the cousins took a picture on these very steps. Being the traditional family that we are we had to take another one since we were all together. It is getting a little harder to get everybody in the picture. We have added a few cousins...not to mention a few pounds.
Saturday was the famous Alabama vs. Auburn Game. Unfortunately we did not get to watch it together. We wanted to but everybody had to get back to be at church the next morning. That didnt keep everybody from wearing thier favorite teams colors though. As you can see we are mostly a Bama family. We let the Auburn guys hang round for fun though. It is neat to me that even though most of my cousins have grown up outside of Alabama they are all still die hard (mostly) Alabama fans with a few Auburn ones thrown in there.
Miranda and Chloe weren't there for the first picture but they came over later to show off their Crimson Tide gear. How cute is the Chloe the Bama Cheerleader? She will even yell "Roll Tide" for ya! There is no mistake that she is a Bama fan. (Don't tell her Dad...he thinks she is a GA Tech fan)
