This year Thanksgiving was really laid-back and relaxing. Early Thursday morning (after two failed attempts to leave Wednesday night) Paul and Molly left for Anahuac where Molly experienced her first duck hunt. PawPaw and Daddy took her out into the field and according to Daddy she did really well until the hot chocolate ran out - then she was ready to head back to PawPaw's house. She loved being outside and especially the ride to their hunting spot on PawPaw's four-wheeler.
Everyone had a great time and Molly was a real trooper. Daddy said she was really patient and kept a good lookout for ducks. They said they saw a lot of birds, but didn't manage to bring any home.

Here are Daddy's pictures from the trip:
Ready to leave at 4:30am. Paul told me that when he woke Molly up at 4am she popped right out of bed and asked, "Daddy, what do you need me to do!?!?"
All snugged up in the truck
Proud PawPaw and Molly ready to head out

Mid-morning Marshall and I packed up and headed East to meet up with the family for our Thanksgiving feast with PawPaw, Auntie Cyndal and my dad, Grand-Pappy. Cyndal did an AMAZING job cooking dinner. Everything was sooo good, especially her cornbread stuffing and Mississippi Mud Pie! Mmmm! 
After we ate, PawPaw and Marshall both went down for naps while the rest of us played outside and enjoyed a gorgeous afternoon.

Is that your dad in the black sweater (no facial hair)? Because Molly really favors him, even the same little bitty gap in their teeth! That's a framer for sure! And my goodness, Marshall is sooo handsome!
The hunting pictures turned out beautifully!
