Thanksgiving in Detroit

In keeping with tradition, Johnny and I (Amber) traveled to Detroit to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with our families. If you know us, then you know that we typically fly when we travel. Well, we made this trip the old-fashioned way and hit the highway! All in all, the drive wasn't too bad. The last two hours wore on my body a bit, but that was to be expected. Despite our 8+ hours of bonding, planning, and discussing, we (Johnny and I) both agreed that it will be a LONG time before we make the drive again.

The highlight of our weekend in Detroit was a baby shower hosted by a small group of our close loved ones. My mom, my sister, and close friends Jeannita, Loreal, Angelina, and Lasandra put together a WONDERFUL event to celebrate the upcoming arrival of Master Dallas. It was attended by so many of our family and friends- some that we hadn't seen since our wedding 4 years ago! The rubber ducky themed decorations were adorable, the food was tasty, and the games were hilarious! Master Dallas is so blessed already! He received so many precious gifts ranging from his first piggy bank, to clothing in a variety of sizes, to an Exersaucer, to over 60 books, and so much more. Now, on to the daunting task of writing out all of the thank you notes!! LOL!

A special THANK YOU to the hostesses (mommy, April, Jeannita, Angelina, Loreal, Lasandra), as well as my high school BFF, Kennard Williams, (for acting as photographer extraordinaire)!
