Thanksgiving Trip

Hands in her pockets. ALWAYS.

Brushing the snow off of Daddy's shoes.

Binky anyone?

Happy traveler in the backseat.

We road tripped to Washington to spend Thanksgiving with my family. Whitney actually did pretty well in the car, considering it was a 14 hour drive. We split the drive up over two days, which was fairly manageable. On the second day on the drive over, we were stopped in the mountains in Montana for a little over two hours. Mike and Whitney got out and played in the snow a little bit. Other than that day, we pretty much had clear roads--what a blessing! We met my family in eastern Washington the weekend before Thanksgiving to watch my brother race his motorcycle. Whitney loved the motorcycles and kept saying "cycle." Amazingly, she fell asleep in the arena before the races were over. Whitney had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa. She wouldn't say grandma or grandpa for me before we left, but she said them really well once we were there. She would also call Kletey, and if he wouldn't answer, she would say, "uncle." It was really cute. She also learned to say the names of the dogs. We spent most of our time hanging out. We made a trip down to IKEA and got some sconces for our bedroom. We spent Thanksgiving at my aunt's house. She hadn't even seen Whitney yet, so it was really fun for everyone to meet finally. We're excited for Grandma, Grandpa and Kletey to come for Christmas!
