So our Thanksgiving travels began the week before Thanksgiving with a wonderful trip to Chicago to visit my parents and Steve's family. Mom and Dad moved to the Chicago area in October of this year to be closer to family and it is already such a blessing to have close! I feel horrible because we didn't take ANY pictures. Guess we were just having too much fun playing and spending time together. It was wonderful to watch Lizzie and Lorilyn get along so well and enjoy each other so much. Being 10 years younger than my siblings I always worried that my kids wouldn't have cousins close enough to play with, but luckily that doesn't seem to be the case for Lorilyn. The 2 girls were so cute chasing around, playing and singing at the top of their lungs. I will have to admit I definitely took advantage of being with my mom and was able to rest more than I ever get to at home, especially since she is a wiz with toddlers and pre-school age children. One day we were able to go to the mall with Kori and Lizzie and we got to ride on the carousel, which LJ thought was the greatest thing ever. She would yell "Up and Down, Up and Down" the entire time:-) Kori was wonderful enough to snap a couple pictures for me of this...
Danny wasn't as fond of the horse...
I love the pure joy on her face:-)Thank you so much for letting us come visit! The second part of our trip was to MI for 2 football games, Thanksgiving dinner and even our own Christmas...that post to come soon!
