We celebrated Thanksgiving this year at Nana and Papa's house in North Carolina. The weather was perfect and it was so nice to simply be away for a couple days with the kids. They actually did pretty well in the car for the six hour trip. We timed our traveling with their bedtime and went through the nighttime routine before getting in the car. They slept great until we had to get gas... The way down was a little more rough, as there was pretty heavy traffic and we had to stop for gas with an hour and a half still left in the trip. The way home Saturday night was a breeze and we made it 20 minutes from home before we needed gas and we were all awake and ready to escape from our seats!
Thanksgiving day was spent with our family and our family friends that also live in Wilmington. Andrew's Godfather, John, is part of that family and was in town with his wife, Molly, so it was great to get to see them, too. We had perfect weather, fabulous food, and wonderful company. Andrew thoroughly enjoyed his Thanksgiving feast. Paige, on the other hand, was exhausted and done with the chaos and had no patience for trying new things. Maybe next year:)

It was sad to come home and get back to reality....although I think the kids were happy to be back to "normal" and sleep in their own beds. Only one month until Christmas...which we're so very excited about!
