Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, we took the week off and flew to Arizona to see Grandma and Grandpa Legg. It was not the greatest weather, I was hoping for much warmer weather, but we still had a good time! 

Here are our munchkins waiting to board our plane.

Madi and Andrew were so excited to fly, they haven't flown since they were babies. Andrew talked about it nonstop for weeks! I'm not a big fan of flying but having my family with me calms my nerves. It was easier for me to be okay with it knowing how excited they were. David and I both sat on a row with kids on either side of us and watched movies for the short 1.5 hour flight.

Once we got to Grandma and Grandpa's, the kids couldn't wait to get in the pool! As you can see from Andrew's shivering body, it wasn't very warm. But hey, it is November!

When we get together with my parents, every night is cards night! We love to play Pinochle and Spades. My dad is teaching Jack early! He will be a little card-shark by the time he is two!!

Jackson hanging with Grandma and Grandpa in the kitchen! He adjusted so well to the change of scenery! I was happy that he slept pretty well, wasn't to fussy, and loved being with my parents! It's always hard traveling with a baby, but he was awesome!

Our sleeping little prince! Love him to pieces!!

Just playing and laughing with Mama!

David's older brother Adam and his family live about one hour from my parents. It was really nice to be able to spend some time with them. David actually spent most of his time out there fixing my dad's truck that broke while they were driving us home from the airport. Go figure...sadly that meant David didn't get much of a vacation. He did get some quality time with his brother though!!

I took the kids out there for a day, and they got to run around in the dirt, ride the horse, and play with cousins!

Our trip to Adam's was even complete with Jackson having a poopy "blowout" diaper! I was at the parts store getting gaskets for David so Teresa and Grandma Awtrey had to strip him and give him a bath. This is him hanging out with Grandma afterward.

Thanksgiving in Arizona is such a change for our family; we are used to being bundled up against the cold, not relaxing in the sunshine and eating outside on the patio. One of the days we were there, David and Collin took the kids out to Colossal Caves. David has pictures of this outing on his phone but he has not uploaded the pics on the computer, so essentially you will just have to use your imagination!

In the end, I am grateful for parents who love to be involved in our lives, don't get to tired of our children, and invite us to spend quality time with them during the holidays!
