Thanksgiving at Mimi and Papa's house

We changed things up this year and spent Thanksgiving at Mimi and Papa's house. It's always a super fun place to go, but especially around the holidays because it's a winter wonderland. And relaxing. And Mimi always makes great food with lots of treats on the counter at all times. Gotta love that!

We played games, decorated the Christmas tree, watched a couple of movies, had a delicious Thanksgiving meal, and really missed the rest of the fam - Greg, Natalie, Grant, Brookie and Lukey (can't wait to see them next week!!) In addition, Papa took Gwendolyn to the zoo while I got to go hang out with my sis and go shopping and out to lunch for a few hours, which was ah-mazing. (Tom stayed home with Conrad.) AND John, Trisha, Tom, and Gwendolyn all went to Frozen one afternoon. She loved it, and is still talking about it. And their seats reclined! Totally awesome.

It was a great time! So blessed to have such great families.

Two of her favorite people...
He's going to be such an awesome daddy!! Our kiddos love their Uncle John!
Don't ever grow up, Conrad Cross....
Spending time with my sis kid-free. This hasn't happened literally in years, but I think we both decided we need to do it more often. We TALKED! Without interruptions. It was so great.
As we were getting ready to say good-bye, Becca turned to me and said "do you feel like you could cry?" and of course I already had a frog in my throat so the question sent me over the edge and just like that, the tears start flowing from both of us. We were laughing and crying at the same time just because we're so ridiculous, but our good-byes are always hard. 

We stopped to see my BFF's new baby Fletcher on our way home. Love.Him.So.Much. So tiny and precious. 
It's amazing what a difference 7 months makes. Holy cow!
