Early T-Giving Part 1

We got to enjoy an impromptu trip back home to Chicago thanks to a business trip B had! Yay! I spent some miles to pay for my ticket, B's ticket was paid for, and his work also picked up the tab on the rental car. WOO! It was a short trip compared to my trip back in September, but we made the most of it and got to see lots of family. :)

The flight in on Friday was on time and we even got to bring the car seat on board. Caiden was a little restless and squirmy on the flight, but overall he was a pretty good boy. After collecting our luggage and car, we set off for my Mom's place in Huntley. My brother Dave met us at the door and promptly took Caiden inside and entertained him while we dragged all our stuff in. Mom had some yummy pizza waiting for us when we got there, and we all greedily devoured the food.

On Saturday, we squeezed in a quick visit with Jim & Sharon and enjoyed some delicious fresh baked cookies! Not long after we got back to my Mom's the family started trickling in for our early Thanksgiving celebration. It has been many years since we've gotten to celebrate T-giving with the family, so it was really nice to share a nice meal with everyone. We almost even got to see the Beckers, but sadly they were on too tight a schedule to make it out our way.

We had a great time hanging out with the family and as usual the evening was over way too quickly. Luckily we'll be back for Christmas in a month! :D
