Thanksgiving

 For Thanksgiving this year we got to spend over a week in Oregon. It was so much fun to hang out with family. We even got to spend an evening up in Portland with friends from college and have all 5 of our girls play together, so much fun to get together. And thank you HolliJo and Kevin for letting us stay at your beautiful home! The girls loved all the attention during the trip, of course. It is so much fun to see the girls grow and interact more with their cousins. They absolutely loved playing with all their cousins, I just wish we saw them more often!

 Preston is quite the piano player and he was showing Lyla how to play

 We spent a few days at the Oregon Coast in a big house that fit all of us and it was tons of fun. Our last day we went and checked out some things on the Coast.

 The girls loved walking (or running) down the paths.

 

 Kendal and Lyla are well loved.

 It is SOOO green there--sometimes I forget how green.

See those tiny people down there? They are the Hall's and they are crazy :). They went down there and the water almost got them! The water would have these little waves and then all of a sudden this huge crash of a wave. 

We were sad to leave and had a miserable plan ride back. You know that flight you were on that one time with the screaming child the whole time? Yeah, that was us....times 2. We got lots of people giving us "sucks to be you" and "I'm so glad I'm not you" looks. We lucked out that no one got angry or annoyed enough to say anything to us. And yes, I was prepared with a speech to give them if they did. :) Needless to say, we are hoping our next flight goes much better.
