My parents flew in from Ohio for Thanksgiving to keep us company. We picked them up from the airport and headed straight to Panera for lunch. I always bring food for Ryan but this day he sure enjoyed G-Ron's (grandpa Ron) chocolate frosted brownie. I don't think my dad thought he would be giving most of his brownie to Ryan!!!
Ryan was in such a great mood that after Panera we headed to the mall in Columbia to do some shopping. We rented Ryan a stroller because I didn't bring his not knowing if there would be enough room in the car with their suitcases. 
There is a Merry-Go-Round in the middle of the mall so G-Ron bought Ryan a token so they could go on a ride.
On Thanksgiving we decided it wasn't worth cooking for three people so we got dressed and headed to Columbia for a late lunch at Cracker Barrel. Ryan got to try turkey, cranberries, gravy, corn, mac & cheese, grilled cheese, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie!!!
On Friday we drove to Charlotte to go shopping at the huge mall there. Of course Ryan was drawn to the Christmas trees that were all over Neiman Marcus.
G-Ron is escorting Ryan away from the tree before an employee would ask him to leave
Yes, another day at another mall!!! We went to our mall here is town (which is horrible) and tried to get Ryan's Christmas pictures taken. Sears was running behind and Ryan was acting up so we left. This picture was us killing time and letting Ryan try on shoes that light up when he walks.

How sweet. Your parents look like natural grandparents. Don't you get a warm fuzzy watching your parents interact with your child. Nothing gives me greater joy than seeing how happy my kids make my parents. Sounds like you guys had a great Holiday. We miss you.
I love the pictures. You have such great parents. I miss seeing them every once in awhile. I am glad you are getting lots of company to pass the time while Steve is gone. I wish I could come visit again. Love ya!
