The Family Road Trip

We survived! In fact...we thrived! God is so amazing.

This is the first road trip we have taken in years that we made it through without the kids having any major meltdowns, without Christopher Robin and I having any major arguments (well, we did have one at a rest stop over how long we should stop...pretty lame) while totally enjoying our visits with family.

While spending 30 hours in the car, our 3 girls (1 toddler, 1 preschooler, 1 middle schooler):

*Watched the movie Tinkerbell at least 8 times
*Talked about the "froggy owside" (translated from toddler-ese to mean the fog outside)
*Watched the Sound of Music, Annie, Finding Nemo, and Wall-e
*Listened to some Rockin' Music
*Worked on their lacing skills (thank you Amanda for the lacing boards)
*Worked on their drawing skills
*Practiced their manners
*Saw some beautiful scenery

While at Poppi's, Great Grandma and Grandpa's, and Grandma's houses, our girls:

*Played, visited, cuddled, slept, ate, bonded, entertained, and in general had a wonderful time.

Thank you to our family for making this such a wonderful Thanksgiving. We love you all!

So glad you had a good time and are back.

I've missed having you at the Mash.

We must chat in person--soon :)
