Thanksgiving Recap

Only a week late but hey, better than never! So this year we drove from DC back to Cleveland, Ohio to meet my parents who drove up from KC and my brother who drove over from Detroit! It was a nice 4 days of eating, drinking and watching the kids play with their grandparents and uncle.

My brother got a mini drone and the boys were obsessed.... of course.

We are renting our house out during our stay here in DC so we opted for a Thanksgiving meal from Bob Evans which was quite tasty! And the 'no cooking' was the best part!

Then on Saturday we went to a local nursery where Santa arrived by firetruck and greeted all the kids. This was the only picture I got of the 2 of them all in their finest...

So we walked around a bit, watched Santa and I genuinely thought Ady would do just fine with Santa. She's super social to strangers (heaven help us) and is completely over stranger danger.

But then it happened....

The screaming and tears and annoyance that Derek and I had to jump in the $15 picture to get her to calm down.

Drew was a rockstar though and told Santa exactly what he wanted and really wasn't scared at all!

We walked around for a bit and a tree started talking to the kids. It was adorable but, yet again, their personalities came right through in these photos...

Ady; super excited wanted to crawl right over the fence to get to the tree...

Drew; nervous as hell backed right up to Poppa for protection and wouldn't even step up to the thing...

But then we got this GREAT family picture!

And another not-so-good one but one good enough for the blog...

It was a much needed mini-vacay back to Cleveland to spend time with family and eat good food! Hope everyone else had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! Now on to my favorite Holiday of the year!
