Thanksgiving with Ashley

We headed up to New Hope, Pennsylvania to enjoy Thanksgiving with Ashley with her Mom, Vivian, and boyfriend, JP.  It was quite a whirlwind trip because it came right on the heels of our Florida trip, but it was worth it for sure.  

Road trip snuggle.

We stayed in a hotel the night before Thanksgiving.  Upon arriving at our hotel, the kids were unimpressed.  Ramsey asked, "um, where do I go to get to the living room."  And later from Beck, "does our hotel room even have a couch?"

But, then they started jumping from bed to bed and couldn't stop laughing.


The appetizers--I was obsessed with this.  

The kids sidled up to the appetizers for sure.

The indoor hammock was a hit.

Our beauty.

With the thought I've been thinking...

Games in the basement.


Girl talk.  There's a real understanding here.

JP, Matt, and Viv enjoying the delicious meal.

LADIES!

Workin' in the kitchen.

Yum...dessert.  We brought treats from Silva's and a pie (clearly Beck was in charge of them).  I managed to not cook anything, which was pretty ridiculous considering how much Ashley did.  Notice the 17-week pregnant buddha belly :)

I took the kids to a charming children's museum while Viv and Matt went antiquing.  

The kids are into taking pictures these days.  Ramsey took this picture.

And this one.

Beck took this one.

The museum was small, which I loved, and the exhibits were fun.

Beck is so into cars, trucks, and legos.

Zooming his car down the ramp.

Digging in the "dirt."


The kids followed this moose around the whole time he was out.  
The moose had to go into hiding, that was the only way to escape (Beck especially).  

There was a train with a full pantry and food service...





And a post office...


This was one of Matt's finds while antiquing--it's a 1960s gumball machine hologram ring.  

On the way home, we stopped by the Eskelsens to visit.  Beck fell asleep in the car on the way and slept on their couch through most of the visit.  Happy Thanksgiving!
