Thanksgiving

Whitney's class had been preparing for Thanksgiving for weeks.  I had heard they were going to be pilgrims, but I wasn't prepared for how stinkin cute they were going to be.  I dropped Colin at my parents so we could make the day about Whitney.  Tim worked from home that day so he could come and we were going to get on the road right afterwards.  We enjoyed a feast that the parents all contributed towards and also got serenaded by the kids.  A very fun morning!

We took our annual trip down to Charlotte for Thanksgiving.  Whitney could not wait to get there!  With the stops it took us 8 1/2 hours.  They both did great.  Colin rarely made a peep.  He was very happy watching movies, eating snacks and napping.  Whitney did regularly ask when we were going to get there, that it was taking too long and that her legs hurt.  But who can blame her, it was a long trip!  The best part was we got to make the drive in our new car.  It made the trip much more luxurious!

We arrived around 9:30pm on Tuesday night and left around noon on Saturday.  We had a really nice, long visit.  Grandma had set a huge play area for the kids with a kitchen and tool bench.  Along with other fun activities she had, they had a blast playing hard all day.  We got to spend time with Brady and Niki everyday and were super excited we got to spend a few hours with Cole and Haley on Thanksgiving day.  Casey and Jess made the trip as well and the McDevitts joined us for our Thanksgiving feast.  The kids had so much fun playing together.  Sue took on almost all the food duties with the help of Tim.  I was spoiled as usual and had a very relaxing time and of course made it out to my favorite kids consignment shops!  Friday night, Grandma and Grandpa babysat and took the kids out to hunt down houses that had their Christmas lights up. We enjoyed an adult dinner out!

Thank you O'Neill family for a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Grandma made his super cute cape!
