We had a really great, really busy Thanksgiving this year. Of course, we traveled south, but we headed to Birmingham, AL first to visit with JD's family. There, we got to meet our new niece, 4-month old Shiloh. Michael really enjoyed Stephen and Lindsey's dog, Dierk, too.

 
 Our sweet boy traveled really well, although when we got back home Monday, he was so happy that he started laughing.

 It was wonderful to see JD's older brother, Phil, and his wife, Nim. It's been too long!

 
 Michael didn't really know what to think of Shiloh, but he tolerated our attempts to get some pictures of them together.

 It was nice that our two families were able to spend some time together as well. Michael, of course, was so excited to visit with my parents' two cats, Callie and Rosco. I'm not sure they felt the same way.

We're in town for a week and a half now before Michael and I head back down for Christmas. It's a crazy time of year!
