We traveled down to Mark's sister's house for Thanksgiving weekend. We haven't stayed there since I was pregnant with Annie (we were long overdue!). We had such a wonderful relaxing, bonding weekend. Annie discovered the game Guess Who? and played it for hours with whomever would play with her. Cousin Alex brought out all his matchbox cars for Sam to play with and that made Sam very happy.
Cousins Sarah and Alex both play the piano and brass
instruments, so everyone kept taking turns on the piano. Annie had made up her own song and kept playing it all weekend. Mark kept practicing the "Believe" song from Polar Express and Alex kept playing Ode to Joy as fast as he could in a variety of different keys.
Sarah had to play in the pep band at the high school Saturday night so here she is grabbing a bite to eat before she heads off (with her Uncle Mark being goofy). We went to a children's museum during the day on Saturday and we spend many hours there coloring, building, jumping rope, dancing and getting flushed down a toilet! The kids were pooped and both fell asleep at 7:30pm and didn't wake up until 7 the next morning!
Here is Annie after another practice of her song on the piano. She told me this weekend she is finally ready for piano lessons, so I have to call Mark's instructor to see if Annie can come around the same time as Mark. We all slept well and the kids took naps both ways in the car. It was a wonderful weekend with family and we are so glad we went!
