Going Green for Thanksgiving!

We spent our Thanksgiving in the beautiful state of Washington! Boy do I miss all of that green, every Christmas they play a song on the radio that says:
If you take away the presents
Why, they still will have a dream
For Christmas in the Northwest
Is a gift God wrapped in green
It's a pretty cheesy song, but totally true!
We had a blast visiting with family, playing the Wii and doing a little Christmas shopping. Unfortunately Mike was pretty sick with a cold and I was just a little sick so we didn't have the energy to do everything that we had planned. But we still had fun and Lilly LOVED playing with her cousin Owen and meeting the new baby Gwyneth (she's a year old now!) and is sooooo cute and has such a fun personality.
Lilly really enjoyed her time spent with her Grandma & Grandpa C. she charmed her grandparents into reading her books, playing Zoo and all sorts of shenanagans :) Who can say no to Lilly :)
The hardest part about visiting with family is having to say goodbye. I totally love my in-laws and miss them tons, it was so hard to say goodbye. Lilly and Owen gave lots of hugs and Owen almost started to cry, so of course I almost started to cry. It was sad, but we will come back to visit again and hopefully it wont be a year and half wait until the next time. I will try and post some pictures soon. We've been dealing with a plumbing issue on our house so hopefully once that is resolved I will have some time to do fun things.
