Thanksgiving!

For Thanksgiving this year we went down to the Bay Area to visit with all the Reese family. This was first road trip in our new car and it held up great for the 9 hour drive each direction, as did the kids. They are super-good travellers.

On Thanksgiving day we ate the traditional turkey, which happened to weigh about the same as William...

...and we ate stuffing, mashed potato, gravy, pie, cookies and (the kids favorite) fruit! It was all delicious.

While in California we also visited Great Grandma Tavares, who turns 91 in February. She is fabulous and you wouldn't believe how she is able to take care of herself. We also spent lots of time with Pappy, checked out his house and visited Muir Beach. It was so much fun and the kids had a wonderful time.

Finally, the Trapps, who let us stay at their house and put up with our mess and noise for 5 nights. Thank you so much! (Sorry GrAuntie Michele and GrUncle Dale, I don't have pictures of you and the kids :( )

On the trip home the toddles caught up on some well-needed rest.

Fabulous!!!! I can't believe how much they've grown in a month. Can't wait to hear all about the trip. Thanks for visiting grandma - that is a great picture of three generations. Love you all.

I can't believe how big Will is next to that turkey!!! I would have mixed the two up for sure!
