An Ohio Thanksgiving

This year we spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Ohio.  Since Madilynn doesn't exactly like riding in the car, we decided to leave Tuesday afternoon after I got off work.  We were on the road by 2:45 and made it to Ohio around 11:30 or 12:00.  It actually worked out perfectly.  We stopped for dinner, changed the girls into their pjs, and almost as soon as we were back in the car, Madilynn was asleep and Reagan was watching a DVD.

Wednesday we spent recooperating from the long drive and late night.  Grandma took Reagan to the park, which she absolutely loved, and we spent time catching up with family and friends.  Thursday of course was Thanksgiving!  We spent the morning eating cinnamon buns and watching the parade.  Then it was off to Aunt Mary Ann's for a delicious dinner.  We also celebrated Reagan's birthday that night with cake and presents.  Everyone had a great time.  We have so, so much to be thankful for and too many blessings to count. 

We had big plans for Friday, including meeting up with Julia and little Christopher to play with Reagan and Madilynn.  Unfortunately, Grandma was not feeling well, so we ended up packing the car a day early and heading back to Virginia.  Even though our visit was cut short, it was a great couple of days. 

Here are a few of my favorite pics from this visit:
