the weather was certainly not our friend this trip. dave powered through 12 long hours of rain and fog to get us there. thank you baby. (and 14 hours of rain/snow/sleet and ice to get us home!)
we made it with only 45 minutes to gulp down some dinner and change our clothes before emily's big dance night. she did an amazing job and blew us all away with her talent and poise on that stage. aubrey was so cute in the audience...each time a new act began she would say (rather loudly)..."is emily up there? is that emily? right there? is that her?:)" thank goodness the people in front of us had little ones of their own.
as usual, i spent way more time soakin up the love then standing behind the camera. but that's ok.
aubrey followed jessi around the whole time.
it was so sweet.
emily had a second performance at the tree lighting ceremony...we missed her in this shot.
::we will always remember::
silly yo mamma jokes and michael's infectious laugh
aubrey feeding charley ice
epic fail youtube videos
michael and the girls up till midnight almost every night
the movie free birds....super cute!!!
emily's choreography to footloose
jessi reading to aubrey and playing dolls with her...and riding everywhere in the car with her too
thanks so much for the best "pretend thanksgiving" ever.
we miss and love you guys and can't wait to see you again in may.
Cindy, Maryland looked like a blast. There's nothing like getting together with your cousins!!! So glad you all have the patience for a 14 hour drive. I've only done 6 hours to Washington DC and that's our limit in the car with kids. I want to go back to DC but keep telling Scott that there must be a short commuter flight? Right? Wish I had a dose of "I love car trips" in me. We're an exact two hours to NYC, two hours to Boston, and two hours to our favorite spot in Maine. So I guess I'm spoiled, or maybe just not adventurous like you! :) Oh, and we're trying a 'new two hours' this coming weekend to a sweet little town in New Hampshire. Does that count as a road trip? Seriously, so glad you went, saw the show, had fun with family, and made it back home safely! xoxo tara
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! I like the gingerbread houses :). It must have been nice to be with family on/around Thanksgiving! :)
ReplyDeleteThe pics showed that you had a great time. The gingerbread houses were soooo cute. Glad you safely made the trip and got to see Emily dance.
