We left for our "voyage" on Tuesday night after work, around 6:00. Keith was a trooper and drove the whole way home while I did a lot of sleeping, stopped for food, and of course bathroom breaks!
Wednesday morning was busy, but so fun! I was able to visit Heather's preschool classroom, the same day as their Thanksgiving feast. They sure are cuties at 4, and well behaved!...a lot different than some of my 8 year olds at school. (Awesome job Heath!!) Then it was off to do a little, and I mean little, shopping, before meeting Grandpa, Keith, Jamie, and her aide for lunch!
We had a great time and it was great to see Grandpa...well Great Grandpa! After lunch Jamie and I were off to get our nails done and after 2 hours of waiting it was time to go home. We had dinner with Mom and John and went to bed to rest up for the Thanksgiving Day festivities.
Thursday morning was spent finalizing wrapping all of the favors that I volunteered myself to do for the Caple Family 80th Thanksgiving while, of course, watching the Macy's parade! We were off to Maryland, not a bad car ride, just an hour and a half. Thanksgiving was wonderful, it was great to see Gran and Gramps, and of course eat all the delicious food!! However, we couldn't stay too long because then it was off to Delaware to visit the Kearns side of the family! It was great to see everyone at Uncle Gus and Aunt Linda's, including their 100" TV...I didn't even know they made them that big!!!
Friday morning we were up and off to Best Buy...thanks to Jake for waiting in line for us at some un-godly hour in the morning. Our first Christmas present to each other, a TV for our bedroom...not 100"! After picking that up we were off to Rochester, NY! That was not a fast six hours, but it was fun to ride through the snow! We arrived in time for Pontillo's pizza, of course Keith's request, and to play with the kiddos! We got to meet baby Olivia and she is PRECIOUS!! Kristin looks great, which three weeks after having a baby, gives me a lot to live up to!
Adorable Alex and Lyndsey!
Keith, (a natural Daddy, with Olivia) Heinz, and Kristin at the party!
Precious baby Olivia!
Saturday was errand running day with Kristin and Olivia! Uncle Keith was home with Alex and Lyndsey...the funniest part of the whole day was when we got home from our errands and I was changing Lyndsey's diaper...it was on backwards...haha...good try Uncle Keith!! I think he is just going to have to have LOTS of practice with our little one when he or she arrives. :) Saturday night was the surprise party for Keith's dad. It was so fun and so great to be there! He was surprised to see us and it was just great to see their family and friends!
Sunday morning, 7:30 am, we hit the road for NC! Fingers were crossed we would be home by 7:00ish...well, how wrong we were! 14 1/2 hours later we FINALLY arrived back in NC!! What a LONG car ride! I mean, we're talking, breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the car. I think I am "fast food-ed out" for a LONG time!
It was a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving and we have so much to be thankful for! We are so lucky that we got to see all of our family in such a short amount of time. :) If only we lived a little closer...
