Thanksgiving at Grandma's

We spent Thanksgiving at Grandma Nancy's house! Our trip was a bit delayed due all of us getting a nasty stomach bug, but we finally made it and had a wonderful time (as always). It's really not fair to get sick right before a holiday that centers around food (oh yeah, and family and thanks and all that too...) but I managed to get my fill of all the good stuff and got to enjoy leftovers for a few days after (bonus!). I'm not ashamed to have a plate full of turkey, stuffing, potatoes and gravy for breakfast.
We had lots of fun on our visit. Evan got to go to the "train store" (Snow's) a few times. He also went to the post office and met the post man which is cool because we have a drive-up post office at home so he's never been in one before. He got to see his favorites - the windmill and the lighthouse. We went to the doughnut store and the chocolate store (he doesn't like candy, but he has a Curious George book where George goes to the Chocolate Factory so Evan likes to go the "chocolate store" like George). We even went to the beach!
We had a great time. Thanks Grandma and Dryden!

"Oohh, let me play with that!"

"Hey look, there's the lighthouse!"

And he's off...

Nabbed by Grandma. Nice try Evan.

"Now tell me honestly, is the gold one a bit too much?"

Snow's was crazy because Santa was there. It was a bit overwhelming.

We asked Grandma to make a vest for Emma because sometimes it's chilly at school in the mornings. This was a "practice" vest. Emma loves it!
