This year we made it to see my family in GA for Thanksgiving. We took off during the first nap of the day on Thursday and made a quick stop for lunch and drove on through. I was so excited to spend time with this side of my family since we didn't have Thanksgiving with them last year and my cousins hadn't yet met the boys.
While we were at Nana's house, we went completely off-schedule. We skipped the afternoon nap on Thursday (partially because they slept so long in the car) and then ate at random times. Both Stokes and William had Thanksgiving dinner and loved all the food! We had to be careful not to give Stokes any casseroles with eggs in them, but must have succeeded because he didn't have any sort of reaction. They both seriously ate so much! Ryan had a few small bites and liked it, too!
Unfortunately, Stokes didn't sleep very well on Thursday night. I mean, why didn't the turkey work to make him sleepy?!?!?! Anyway, I don't know whether it was being off schedule, the shots he got the previous day, teething or something else all together, but it was a bit of a rough night. It always makes me feel bad when there are other people in the house because I worry that we are keeping them up, too.
On Friday we skipped the morning nap and got on the road after lunch and they once again slept for most of the drive. It was such a quick trip and it was a little sad when we got home to an empty house after being around so much family for the previous day. We loved Thanksgiving and being with family! The food was just as good as I remembered it.

No one left hungry, that's for sure! |
