Thanksgiving 2009

We were able to once again catch a hop to McChord AFB and drive on to Portland for Thanksgiving. This year we actually arrived at a great time and had a super smooth flight.  It was so nice getting to see Nick’s brother Eric and his wife Sally. They have a very well behaved doggie named Sarah. Madeline was a little nervous about Sarah the first day but by day number two she was hugging, tickling, and playing with Sarah.  I hope Sarah enjoyed all the attention. We spent the days shopping in real stores, taking walks, playing cards, and EATING! Sally whipped up a fabulous Thanksgiving feast along with one of the best chocolate pies ever!  Thanks for the great trip Uncle Eric and Aunt Sally!

Can you believe she left those noise cancelling headphones on the entire time on both flights?

Yes, Uncle Eric is a scary driver!

Hold on Maddie-cakes!

We are now home and today I think I am going to start wrapping Christmas presents!  I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday.
