Leaving on an airplane..........

..........to celebrate Thanksgiving with Neals family for the first time since we have been together. How sad is that?

After an awesome Royal Bliss show at Port o' Call Thanksgiving Eve we woke up Thanksgiving morning and headed up to Seattle to spend it with Neals family. This was Reileys first time in an airplane, which was fun because he has an obsession of airplanes, my fault for hanging 3 above his changing table. HE DID GREAT! No problems at all other than the 2 seconds of crying right before he fell asleep on his momma as we were landing. Fancy that?

We had Thanksgining at Glenn and Loris with their two boys, Drew and Ian, Neals parents, and some neighboors of Glen and Loris.

Can I just tell you how much I admire Lori. Lori I admire you! What an excellent dinner! (and lunch and breakfast and more food and more food) We had so much fun being with the cousins and staying at the house. Can't wait to do it again!

During our time in Seattle before we headed over the mountain to Neals parents, we went to the Pike Street Market. We love the market. Such fun stuff to see and crazy people to look at. Also had a great Seafood dinner out with the whole fam. Good food but don't want to talk to much about it because I had a screaming tired child I was taking care of and it was a bit streesful.

Headed over to Leavanworth for beer and bratts and to spend some time with Neals parents. If you have never been to Leavenworth WA. Go!!!! Cutest little town ever.

While in Leavanworth we took Rei in to town to see the Christmas lights, he learned how to hum Jingle Bells and we discovered a new obsession in a toy store. He sat and played with a little toy bus for oh 20 minutes and was pissed! Seriously pissed when we took him away from it. So we ended up buying the bus for him. He still hasn't put it down.

Our first night there Neals parents, whome I can't Thank enough for all they have done for us, stayed at home with Rei while me and Neal went to our favorite little beer joint in Leavenworth, Uncle Ulis, had a couple beers and shared a brat?

Flight home was good. Better than we had expected since we had a 3 hour drive from Neals parents to the airport and then had an 1 hour delayed flight due to weather. Poor Rei was ready to be done traveling, but overall was a trooper.

Thanks Middletons for such a memorable Thanksgiving! Canlt wait to see you all agaong soon!
