Thanksgiving Part 1

We made it through Thanksgiving. Traveling 10 hours and then messing with 2 little ones schedules is exhausting but I think everyone enjoyed each other and at least we were surrounded by family. Speaking of surrounded, sleeping with everyone in the same room was an adventure and Case slept in mama and daddy's bed for the first time.

I know we have so much to be thankful for. For example, having great grandparents! Case and Lele took a couple strolls down to the creek in the afternoons for sessions of kicking leaves, throwing sticks in the water and crossing bridges.


Cole met Uncle Jason for the first time. Uncle Jason is a big hit with both boys. Case loves Jason and has some kind of private code with him. Whenever Case talks about Jason he always says gibberish, gibberish, gibberish and then chicken. Case even wanted to call Jason one night. When we asked him what he wanted to tell Jason he said, 'chicken.' It must be a private joke.


The whole family took a trip to the Omniplex. I was surprised at how many activities were geared towards small children. There are a ton! Case loved the afternoon. The falling ball maze by the front doors was a big hit if you can't tell from the excited look on his face.


I'm a sucker for taking pictures in large cardboard pictures with cutouts for heads.


Playing with some of the displays.


Can you believe I didn't take 1 picture on Thanksgiving day?! I must of been too busy stuffing my face and toting around an over stimulated crying baby. Oh well, here is the recap. We ate a bunch of food. Everyone took turns holding Cole. Case was the star of the show and entertained everyone by playing on the piano and giving dinosaur lessons. Cole cried most of the afternoon. Football was watched and naps were taken anyplace you could find to sit or lay. A typical traditional Thanksgiving. :)
