Thanksgiving Vacation

This year was a Grand Rapids Thanksgiving - but we decided to make a detour and fly into Chicago for the weekend to spend with Uncle Brian, Auntie Heather, Aidan, Brennan, and our newest cousin - Allie! We were SO excited to finally get to meet Allie for the first time! We enjoyed playing hard with our cousins - jumping in the leaves, going to Shedd's Aquarium (sorry Seattle Aquarium - you have nothin' on this aquarium!), doing arts/crafts together, playing games, watching movies - - just hangin' out with our cousins was great!

Brennan, Benjamin, Jaelyn, Aidan

What fun! We don't really get to play in leaves at our house because they are usually wet!

Pure joy!

Jaelyn's favorite part - she couldn't get enough of this little girl! She's going to be a great little helper for mommy when her baby brother/sister comes along in April!

UNO!

Off to Shedd's Aquarium - they don't call Chi-town the windy city for nothin'!



Watching a 4D Dora movie at the Aquarium - - what fun!

Some cousin love!

We had a great time staying in Chicago for the weekend...but we had to leave on Sunday for Grand Rapids for Thanksgiving week at Papa's house.
