Thanksgiving trip to Cali

We were fortunate enough to go to California for Thanksgiving, however we got sick while we were there and didn't get to see any friends (except for Mandie on the morning of our last day there.) We did manage to get my dad and brother in law sick though. We like to share when we can! :) My grandma's 80th birthday was on the first day we got there, and it was a wonderful tea party that my mom and aunts put on for her. I'll post those pics next.

Sorry to all of those friends and family that we didn't get to see on our visit. We love you all!

It may not look like it, but he loves to go on the plane...

Grandpa and me!

Grandma's 80th Birthday! Grandma and the grandkids...

My cousin was out for Thanksgiving too. Her son, Casey, is only a week older than Adeline.

Too cute! :)

I love these pictures of Brian with the kids.

Look at us now! Crazy!

My mom took this photo of Addie and she was in love with it so I thought I would post for her!

Nolan asked for a silly face pumpkin

This is him showing us the silly face he requested for his pumpkin, looks like Patrick did a great job! :)

Addie got dressed up in her pearls for the pumpkin carving special occasion!

The city had an event at the park for the kids...

Ballerina Adeline with a face that says "What the heck do you have me in?!?!"

Pretty shoes!

About the only smile I got from her the entire day...

Nolan got to go up to our local fire station. He LOVED it!At work on the truck.

They even let him work the water hose!

Hi there!

So darn cute! At Dada's work.

Trick or Treating at our neighbors house

Nolan & Addie with their cousins Eli and Ava, and friend Annabelle.

So, a couple of days later, I dressed them up again to try and get a good picture of them together. Adeline, still wouldn't cooperate but Nolan was all smiles!

I guess this one was the best almost smile I got out of Addie! That lil' stinker!
