Thanksgiving at Aunt Lisa's

We had over 40 family members at Aunt Lisa's for Thanksgiving this year!

What a treat that was getting to visit with everyone. It made up somewhat for missing the reunion. This was the first time we got to see Brooke's baby Lincoln. What a cutie! Rob was his favorite! The oranges you see them eating came from the neighbors tree. They ate every single orange. I think we'll all pitch in and send him a really great fruit basket.

Heading Home

None of us our really looking forward to the trip home. T has been asking for his Daddy alot and has gotten to talk to him on the phone some. Jade wants to stay here with Nenee. She has no desire at all to go home; and she won't speak to or kiss Nenee goodbye in hopes that we'll wait until she does before we leave. Well, you can't leave until you kiss me bye, right?
Wrong, we gotta go!!! Sorry Jade.

Thanksgiving at the Zoo

The zoo had free admission for Thanksgiving. We got to see lions, elephants, monkey and lots of other really cool animals. Jade and T LOVED it! T hung out with Aunt Marie alot. He really attached to her.

On Lake Eerie

Since we've been in Ohio, the kids have gotten really sick. They each had fevers and T hasn't slept very well. He didn't play here for long before he was ready to go, so we went to the car and let Nenee and Jade have their fun.
T is pretending to throw up in on of the pictures, I don't remember why; but he is such a kidder!!
Jade loved the sand. I'd say next to the zoo, this is a close second. She loves rolling in it, running in it, and throwing it. The messier the better- YUCK!

At Mom's for Thanksgiving

We went to mom's for Thanksgiving this year. It was soo much fun. It took us 3 days to get out there, but that's because the kids made me stop as soon as it got dark. It was a good thing though, I got tired, too!
We had our own apartment, it had 2 bedrooms and a big living room for the kids to run around in. They were glad to be free from the car. All that stored up energy was let go!! T made a great horse for Jade to ride. He had to fake riding on her. Blah!
We also went to the mall to see Flushed Away and got Dip & Dots out of a machine in the movie theatre. That was a huge hit with the kids. T loved seeing Rudolph there, but Jade wasn't having it.
We went to the Children's Museum and had a great time. Our favorite part was playing on the PVC pipes like drums. Next to running around the outside of the building. (Which was free!)
