Another Thanksgiving, another day traveling. The boys all did relatively well, despite the fact that they were in car seats and strange houses from 9 a.m. this morning until 9 p.m. tonight.
Sawyer had a much better day, with very little screaming (unlike last year's all day scream fest). We were better prepared, I think, with toys and distractions. Xander did well too, if you discount the fact that he climbed on absolutely everything he could think of (all day long) and tried to push a television on the floor at our second stop (Josh's extended family)!
Connor, perhaps, came out best of all. He talked non-stop to Mommy and Daddy on the drive to our first destination (my extended family) and then got to ride home with Grandma and Grandpa back to the lake with his cousins Austin and Kyndal, who he loves to play with. He did miss out on our second stop, but will see that group again at Christmas time in a few weeks.
Once again, he's our "have suitcase, will travel" child. He loves to get out and go. And as much as we love him, we love that he enjoys spending time with his extended family and gets that one-on-one attention that's so hard to come by at home with two little brothers.
Despite the traveling and the tired kids and the two parents still not feeling all that great, it was another good family holiday with so much to be thankful for.
