Aftin LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to go on trips! The moment we return home from one, she asks when we get to go again. Yes, this is after a 6, 8, 10 or 14 hour car ride! She is mostly excited to go back and see the people we just left. Um, one in particular, Kaia. We love Kaia!
This Aftin's cousin Kaia. She's beautiful.
Anyway, back to the trip I am suppose to be blogging about. After taking 3 months off, dad set off to work in Omaha and we set off again to go see grandma and Oklahoma. Well, Grandma and Miriah and Emma and Grandpa. For Thanksgiving. Dad joined us later. Our girls are champion travelers! The loooong drive through Kansas, Piece of Cake. It's like they are daring us to go farther.
So usually I start the picture reel now, but, sad to say, I didn't take very many pictures. But, I did get one of grandma's house:
And yes this is Shelley playing football with Aftin! I waited to surprise Aftin that a few extra guests were also going to be at grandma's house. Aftin loves her aunts. I mean, loves them in a super special aunt-like-3-year-old-only-kind-of-love way.
Here's a baby, I can't tell which one, but if I was guessing, I would go with Laci and Henry. We love Henry also!
Just more fun!
No hands for me!
and of course, eating. Always eating at grandmas house!
Sometimes it was so good, we HAD to lick the bowl.
Aftin and Andrew. Played together the entire time!!! Extra exclamations needed because they describe the way these 2 played.
Probably one of our favorite places, sitting at the counter, eating goodies. I am not quite sure what it is about high stools, but they sure do help us eat better.
So Andrew is perfect with Aftin, but Jake sure has a talent for those twins!
My favorite picture of all! My heart is melting with the sweetness of this.
Hanging out with g-ma and g-pa at the church Variety Show.
This is one of those "had to be there" pics, but Miriah giving grandma instructions on how to record. The red button does mean record, not "stop"
Just tring to pull off the bright green table cloth
Ok, so I kind of did get a lot of pictures. Other trip highlights that aren't featured in pictures:
Emma dressed up as a Who, from Whoville, probably the cutest Who...EVER
Going to probably the best movie ever! Tangled
FREE DAY at the ZOO! Who knew! And we went and it was fantastic, except the elephants were still missing... :(
The yummy turkey dinner we enjoyed and giving thanks for all our blessings!
and of course black friday shopping! yes we went. and yes we didn't leave until 7 am!
