Thanksgiving 2013

This was our year to be in Arkansas for Thanksgiving. We were happy that it worked out for my mom's side of the family to come to my parents house, too! Now that everyone is married, there are lots of schedules with parents and in-laws that get juggled around. But we made it happen this year! And the result was lots of fun for the kids and adults.

Before any trip, I make sure and get caught up on all our laundry so we come home to empty baskets. Isaac is not so helpful with this part of the packing. :)

Now that we have conquered Hailey's car sickness, our road trips aren't so bad. The kids do amazingly well on this 8-9 hr. journey and Marc and I enjoy the break in the car.

Though we are always ready to get out of the car by the end!

Watch out! Bailey's in the mix now!

Pictures from Thanksgiving Day...

 Isaac loved his first taste of turkey. He gobbled it up!

After Thanksgiving, we headed to Fayetteville to look at the lights on the square. There was fun music, fresh popcorn, and the kids even took a carriage ride with Nana and Papa D. Papa D got suckered into buying light-up swords for all the kids. :) They loved them!

Isaac was worn out and fast asleep by the time we got home.

Enjoying some last bit of loving before our van headed home to Illinois.

Bailey's sweet little arm was tucked around her cuz. Too cute.
