159. That is how many pictures I took over the past 6 days.
70. That is how many pictures I had left in my Thanksgiving folder after tossing out the less-than-stellar snaps.
25. That is how many pictures I uploaded to share in today’s post.
You guys, I have a picture problem. I know I tend to post way too many pictures, but I’m not quite sure how to cut back, especially when the latest batch covers a few of my most favorite days each year, Thanksgiving! So I’m going to take a play from Janae’s book and recap our whirlwind family-filled tour of Georgia and South Carolina in a sentence per picture style.
Sorry mom, I think over half of those window squishies ended up in my car.
Teaching the kids important life lessons… like how to bake pumpkin pie.
My Nannie’s homemade soup makes mouths happy.
Note to self: ask Nannie for her biscuit recipe.
Stopped by to help Dad with the carving: one on the plate, one bite in the mouth, repeat.
The girls are big enough to warrant a legit kids’ table; how?!
Dear Aunt Cynde’s, please package and sell those collards!
Trying to squash that baby fever but my sweet niece only seemed to fan the flames.
Happy Thanksgiving from the fammmmilyyyy.
Hunting Christmas trees.
Thanks Nana for letting us completely drain your cookie decorating supplies.
So much love; Kaitlyn (2), Hailey (5), Grandma Betty (96).
Mema sure knows how to set a table.
Turkey dinner number two? Don’t mind if I do!
On my “must make” list for next year; gobble gobble!
Note to self: my game face is not as intimidating as I might think.
The great cornbread bake off challenge of 2016.
I used Sally’s Baking Addiction’s recipe, but with a plate like that I think we all won!
If you look closely you can see the mountain fires; praying for rain.
Who wants s’more?
A toddler’s thumbs up.
Ooey gooey bliss.
Picking on Grandpa.
Grandpa teaching us pickleball newbies how it’s done.
Officially entering the Christmas season, thanks to Mema’s cozy den.
And now, let the craziness of the Christmas season officially begin!
Now share with me—
your Thanksgiving (or weekend!) in just one sentence… go! 🙂

Looks like you had a great Thanksgiving weekend! Yay for family and good food.
Heather @Lunging Through Life says
Grandma Betty looks great for 96! Full of family and fun, tons of pictures and lots of memories this weekend!
Brittany Dixon says
Doesn’t she?! I’m crossing my fingers I have her genes!
So glad you had such a wonderful celebration too!!
Lynn Thow says
I enjoyed your pictures. It looks like so many special memories were made. I would never guess your grandmother is 96. One of my my favorite pictures was from your snapchat of the girls sleeping with the Christmas lights.
It looks like your family is truly blessed with lots of wonderful grandparents.
Thanks for sharing! It always puts a smile on my face!!😀
Brittany Dixon says
Blessed beyond measure to have such loving and involved grandparents for sure! The Christmas lights were super cute- my mom is a kid at heart 😉 I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving too Lynn! <3
John J. says

There is no way I can capture it all- such wonderful times when we can all be together! xo
Lauren @ Oh Hey! I Like That! says

Brittany Dixon says
At last! HOORAY!!! 🙂
Christina says
What great pictures – thank you for sharing!
And side note – your in-laws house looks STUNNING! That kitchen! Those views! The gorgeous natural wood cabinets! I’m drooling (over the house, although the food looks drool-worthy too :))
sherry says
Wow-loved all the pictures! So thankful having you take all the pictures for all of us to enjoy. Knowing that you do that leaves the rest of us enjoying the moment! Those Thanksgiving turkey cookies are so cute!!
Erica says
There’s no such thing as too many pictures! My husband had over 150 just from a little family photo session outdoors! I love your blog, it has been such an inspiration to me since I started mine last spring. I am especially impressed by your dedication to get up and blog so early in the morning! And I love your local on-location posts because I live in Charlotte 🙂
Brittany Dixon says
Hello (Charlotte) neighbor!! Love that we’re close. Thank you so much for the kind words. I look forward to hopping over and checking out your blog 🙂

Just stumbled across your site while searching on pickleball photos. What a great idea to play some pickleball on thanksgiving and burn off a few of those calories! Very nice photos and fall colors and the food looks amazing!
