Thanksgiving in Monroe, LA

The Sunday before Thanksgivng we took Mamie over to Monroe, LA to stay with her cousin Margaret Ellis. From what I hear they had a wonderful time. Kyle, Nolan and I drove back over for Thanksgiving and it was just a wonderful day. Leigh Ann and Stacey (sister and brother-in-law) were such wonderful host. Stacey's family was there along with the Epting family. There was a chill in the air, but they had the fire blazing and the heaters going outside under the out door kitchen. It was very nice. Leigh Ann had everything just right. Just like she always does. Anyway, after a delicious lunch the Ainsworth family loaded up and drove home.

We all awoke early Friday morning and headed to Starville for THE EGG BOWL. My sister-in-law made plans back in June for all of us to meet up and go to the game. Our niece goes to school there and it was just a way for everyone to get together for the Holiday. We all arrived at Kristi's apartment and headed for the game. Our tickets were very high and as we got up there Kyle's face was white as a sheet. See, he doesn't like heights. My sister-in-law came up right behind and gave him tickets that were at a lower level, which he took and ran. I didn't see him or Nolan until after the game. Of course the game was great until the 4th quarter when State decided they needed to start playing football. I am so glad State didn't play like they did in that 4th quarter, because if they did the might Rebels would have lost BIG. Anyway, we all had a great time at the game and then later at Kristi's apartment. Mamie had fun yelling "GO Ole Misss Bulldogs" and then Kyle taught Nolan how to say "Maroon/White". I said "oh, no you don't say that, you say Hotty Totty". So Nolan started yelling "Maroon/White, Hotty Totty" then he would just look at us. Mamie thought it was funny and she started yelling the same. So I guess our children will just be confused through out there lives on what to say at THE EGG BOWL (if we go to another one). We drove home that night and spent the rest of the weekend doing nothing.

So Thanksgving and the Egg Bowl has come and gone. Now we are looking forward to Christmas and New Years, which I must add is getting here quick.

Oh and to my new friend that got engaged over the holidays. CONGRATS TO YOU!!!!
