This year we spent Thanksgiving in St. Louis with Darrin's extended side of the family. The last time we made it up for Thanksgiving was '07 so it was definitely time. I was unsure of how a 10 hour drive in the car would be with both kiddos, but honestly it wasn't that bad. I think I prepared myself for torture, so anything short of that wasn't bad. And honestly, it wasn't.
We had a DVD player, tons of snacks and toys, they slept some of the way and we didn't stop for anything. I think we stopped maybe twice for a quick potty break and back on the road we went.
I've already forgotten all that we did, we were so busy, but I know we had a wonderful time with everyone and our bellies were always full.
Playing outside at Grandma Snider's house.
Thanksgiving at Aunt Becky and Uncle Steve's house.
Could it be, I am already getting "the look?"
Darrin and his Grandma, doesn't she look great?
Silly turkey.
I can't help myself, I had to post every single one of these. They are my most favorite pictures ever of Grayson. We took a hayride and he absolutely loved every long minute of it.
Look at that sweet boy.
The best we could get of us these days. 3 outta 4 ain't bad. And, if I must say so myself, I rocked some pretty sweet heels.
Us, Darrin's mom & dad, his sister her husband and 2 boys, and his brother. 2 new baby boys this year, thankful.
My favorite boys.
All the grandkids. Reagan, Dylan, Miles and Grayson.
Trip out to Glen and Shirley's house for breakfast to see the chickens.
A 9am breakfast time will do this to a girl's hair. But those are two great BIG smiles.
Dylan the pro, chasing the chickens.
I wish I would have done a better job of getting pictures of other family members, but Reagan was so clingy to me I couldn't do much of anything. There is no denying that girl is attached to her Momma!
We are undoubtedly blessed and we have so much to be thankful for. Just when I think life couldn't get any better, it always does.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and ate and ate until they were stuffed!
