Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello!  We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and friends!  Chris and I had a great holiday.  We split the time between both families in Mebane and Asheville.  We had a blast hanging out with our nieces and nephews . . . oh what fun they can be!!!  We even started a new tradition between the Harrell's and the Vuycankiat's (my sister's family) - each year we will build and decorate a gingerbread house together!  We had such fun trying our hand at it for the first time this year!  Each year we rent a cabin in the mountains for the week/weekend of Thanksgiving.  The whole family comes together for this event - it's a most treasured tradition in our family!  This year we found a beautiful cabin right outside of Asheville (in Fairview).  The property was so beautiful and it came with a waterfall, Koi pond, chickens (and fresh eggs), horses, an outdoor stone firepit/gazebo area, hot tub, etc.  There were many things to keep us occupied while there :)  We also visited downtown Asheville and the Grove Park Inn (where the National Gingerbread House Competition was on display)!  We had a wonderful time spending time together and eating WAY too much food!  We're extremely thankful for the opportunity to do this every year :)  Enjoy our vacation pictures below!
