Thanksgiving 2009

We spent the week of Thanksgiving in St. Louis celebrating with Jim's family. It was our first car trip in the new mini van, or "living room on wheels" as Jim calls it. The girls enjoyed the built in DVD player and the trip wasn't nearly as long as those 11 hour trips back to Ohio from Pennsylvania. Maggie and Claire had a wonderful time exploring all the vintage toys at MawMaw and PawPaw's house, including Daddy's stuffed kitty cat and Aunt Julie's doll house. Our Thanksgiving feast was especially delicious this year and since I'm "eating for two" I certainly indulged! As always, it was wonderful to spend time with family. It dawned on me during the drive home that the next time we're in St. Louis, will likely be with Baby #3 in tow!
