Every other year we go up to DC to my Aunt and Uncle's house, leaving every other year for them to come down to us. This year, as it happens, was a year for them to come down here. We ended up going up there because my cousin Justin's wife Vangie was due with there second baby on Thanksgiving day. She ended up having her a week early so we were all able to meet and fawn over little Jada.
There were only 3 of my 6 cousins there, but including us and a few more still made a grand total of 15. It's always nice seeing everyone again, and Harper LOVED playing with all of her adoring fans. We did a lot while we were there so I'll break it down for you with pictures and all.
Harper really enjoyed her first Thanksgiving. She stuffed herself to the brim, like everyone else, and took a nice nap after dinner.
Harper and Juris had a GREAT time playing together. I'm not sure who loved who more. Isn't she the cutest, she looks like a little Gap Kids model.
Little 7 day old Jada was on her best behavior and made quite an impression on the fam. Under 6 pounds and still rocking the triple chin.
Harper gave us all a run for our money in Mexican Train.
We went to go visit Harper's great-grandma. It was the first time meeting her for both Harper and me. She was so sweet, there was an instant bond with her and Harper.
Every year my family goes out to cut their own Christmas tree. It's a fun tradition and quite an event. It was fun to have the kids with us this year to enjoy it all. The place we went had goats and sheep to feed.
We all went on a hay ride out to where the trees were.
This one looked good to Harper.

What a fun thanksgiving! We are so sad that we were not able to make it out there this year.
Is Harper walking? I can't believe she is standing all on her own! She is getting so big!
