We spent this Thanksgiving with my family in Western NY. It's about an 8 hour drive with Jay and he was so good both ways. We arrived at my Mom's the day before Thanksgiving. That night we had a nice dinner with my parents and sisters, put Jay to bed and then played some Apples to Apples. One of my favorite games!
Thanksgiving day was absolutely beautiful. It was sunny and 60 degrees. Not typical! We took Jay outside to enjoy the weather.
After enjoying some time outside, we headed out to visit with some of my family. First we went to my Uncle Steve and Aunt Julie's, then we went to my Uncle Guy and Aunt Suzie's. Jay was great during both visits. After that, we headed to Granny's to put Jay down for a nap. It took us awhile to get him to sleep, but he eventually went down. We let him sleep for about an hour and then woke him up to head next door to my Aunt Joyce and Uncle Ron's for dinner. I didn't take any pictures at Thanksgiving dinner or afterward, and I regret that. Jay enjoyed his meal, though we did miss having Butters around to clean up everything he threw on the floor!
The Friday after Thanksgiving was another busy day. We went back to Joyce and Ron's to visit with my cousin, her husband and children, since they weren't at Thanksgiving dinner. Jay had a lot of fun playing with his second cousins, Abby and Anna.
Afterward, we headed back to my Mom's so Jay could get a nap and a snack. Then we headed over to visit with Sarah, Bill and Trey and have dinner. Jay had his first French fry and loved it! Again, I didn't take any pictures while over there. I need to be better about that! It was a good time though and Jay had so much fun pushing around a giant ball of Trey's.
We headed back to Connecticut on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It was a brief but great visit with my family.
