The Rest of Thanksgiving 2017

This post is a hodge podge of pictures from the rest of our Thanksgiving Break. First up is pictures from the Friday before our break began! Hadley doesn't go to school on Fridays, but once a month her teachers host a family activity. Hadley made a little Thanksgiving card to give her teachers when we went {pictured below}. I didn't get any pictures at Hadley's event b/c they were making Thanksgiving crafts, and it was just about all I could do to help Hadley complete her crafts and keep Brady content in his stroller at the same time.

After we finished up in Hadley's class, we headed home for a quick lunch before heading back out for the first grade Thanksgiving Feast. Of course the feast was smack dab in the middle of Brady's naptime, so attending the feast was all kinds of fun with this guy in tow. ;)

 {Excited to be on BREAK! And excited to have the school functions over with--attending these things with a baby in tow is not for the faint of heart!}

 

 

The very next day, I went to go see "I Mom So Hard" with my friend Jessica and a few other moms & teachers from the girls' school. It was SO MUCH FUN!!!!

 



 

 

And last but not least, here are a few more pictures from our time in Williams!

 



And just in case anyone was mistakenly thinking traveling with 3 kiddos is easy, here you go! Brady sleeps pretty well when we travel, but he woke up much earlier than the girls did on this trip. So one morning I took him into the bathroom to play to keep the room quiet so the girls could sleep longer. Then he had a dirty diaper, and of course the diapers & wipes were in where the girls were sleeping, so it was bathtime at 6am! ;)

 

On our drive back to Las Vegas, we stopped and had Thanksgiving lunch at Cracker Barrel. Derek & I were having major deja vu because we spent one Thanksgiving at Cracker Barrel when Derek was working in Jackson, MS during residency when Shelby was about Brady's age now {HERE is that post}. A lot has changed since that Thanksgiving! And after re-reading that post, it's amazing what you remember and what you don't remember! How did I not remember Shelby being that good of a sleeper in a hotel?! The only sleeping in hotel experiences that stick out in my mind from when Shelby was a baby were the bad ones, ha! ;)  I'm so glad we have this blog to record all of these memories!

While our last two Thanksgivings have been far from traditional {last year's was at Disneyland}, I hope these trips we take together are lasting memories for our family!
