Thanksgiving Road Trip

Way back in September I thought it would be a really great idea to drive over to Spokane to visit Nate's sisters and their families for Thanksgiving. As the date approached I was thinking that maybe 12 hours in the car one way was a lot for my little family, but we did it, and it actually wasn't too bad. We also had a ton of fun when we got there! We passed through state lines like 5 times each way, and I was determined to take pictures of each "welcome" sign, but it was dark for most of our trip, so Idaho is all you get.

The passengers

Our first day there we swam--Reid's dream come true. You should have seen the monstrous FIT he threw when we got out. Yikes.

The day after Thanksgiving was Reid's third birthday, so we left Link with Denise and Jerry, and took Reid and his cousin Allen to Chuck e. Cheese. They had so much fun!




Nate's sister Corrine made Reid an AWESOME cake for his birthday. Reid specifically said that he wanted a "chocolate bear cake" for his birthday, so this is what she came up with. Amazing, right?!

The bear was a little soccer player, so cute!

Reid was a little more interested in the balloons than his presents I'm afraid...

I LOVE the weird-o look on his face!

Watch out for Kaylee!

This is my "I can't get this ridiculous packaging open" face.

I can't believe my baby is three!!

We had tons of fun, and can't wait to go back. Thanks for having us auntie Denise and uncle Jerry!

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
