Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, we met up with my parents in Virginia at Katie, Reed and Micah's house. I worked the night before Thanksgiving, so we flew out on Thanksgiving day and celebrated on Friday. It was a quick but very fun weekend!


Elsie's first airplane trip and Sophie's first trip getting her own seat. Both of the girls did great!








Our Thanksgiving dinner (on the day after Thanksgiving!)






We ate buffet style in Katie and Reed's family room



The kids are wearing pj's that Grandma and Grandpa got them as early Xmas gifts!

Grandma had her hands full!

(Sorry...don't know why this picture is sideways!)


Lounging on the floor with Uncle Reed








Reed took Mike and my dad to the Redskins vs. Giants game on Sunday. They had official passes to go down on the field (this is a picture of Mike getting as close to Eli Manning as he could) and then they watched the game from a suite. They were very thankful for the suite, since it was cold and rainy that day!






Here's the cutest Redskins cheerleader ever!!

Since we were taking off from the Baltimore airport, we all decided to go to the aquarium in Baltimore on Monday morning before we had to leave for Oklahoma.


I just think this picture is hilarious!! We were trying to get a nice picture of the grandparents with the grandkids, but you can imagine how hard it is to get 3 little kids to all look happy at the same time! Yet, in this picture, we managed to get all 3 kids looking terribly unhappy all at the same time! Sophie had just been crying, Elsie was in the middle of a fit, and Micah was just looks bored!





Sophie gives the whole trip a big thumbs up!!!



Grandma and Grandpa also bought the kids some squeaky shoes. I guess my grandparents got us a pair of these kind of shoes when we were little too, so it must be a grandparent thing!! They are nice in the store because I always know where Sophie is!

Micah must have challenged Sophie to a "jump off" to see who is a better jumper. You decide the winner!
