Thanksgiving Roundup

November 30, 2010 1 Comment

This Thanksgiving, as usual, we traveled to good ole Southern Illinois to visit with J’s side of the family.  We enjoyed wonderful food prepared by MaGa (the girl’s grandma) and also had a s’more or two by the roaring fire.  While it was a bit chilly, we were able to get out a bit and go to the Science Center on Saturday.  After that we ate at a greek restaurant in St. Louis with Pop (the girl’s grandpa) and the awesome Aunt Amanda (J’s sis).  Yum!  Here are some pictures from the weekend of fun:

starting her early…

C riding the rocking horse that her great-grandpa made many moons ago
So despite the loooooooong car ride and especially the last hour of said lonnnnnnnng car ride whereas a little toddler has had enough and wants out NOW and a big sister who thinks shushing her baby sister quite loudly will help anything and a mother that is trying to read her book and a father that is trying to drive…
we had an awesome Thanksgiving holiday.  How about you?
