For Thanksgiving my mom flew out from LA, and we all gathered at my Aunts house in Denver. It was a full house, 16 people total, but it was a lovely meal, and we all stuffed ourselves good!
My mom was here for a week, but being from sea level, our altitude is too much for her, so we stayed down in Denver instead. We did some holiday shopping and snacked on left-overs, but mostly we lounged around and visited with family. My mom hadn't seen Jordyn in 17 months, so she had fun getting to know her again.
She also hadn't seen snow in 20 years, so it was nice to have a little winter dusting for her. Jordyn kept calling her "mom" (probably because thats what i call her), and my mom thought that was cool. She also chuckled every time Jordyn showed attitude...reminding me that i was just as bad, and that revenge was sweet! doh!
Jordyn also enjoyed the company of another little trouble maker...Parker :) Here they are stealing a kiss...aren't they cute!
I must admit it was tough having Jordyn out of her element, and off schedule for a week...tempers did flare a bit, and folks got cranky...but it wouldn't be the holidays if we didn't show a little of our true selves to one another. It was still a beautiful visit...but i am glad to be home and sleeping in my own bed! There really is no place like home :)
Hope you all had a safe and happy turkey day!
Now...lets get back to those holiday projects!!!

Hi Lisa thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Darling pictures. Sounds like a great time was had by all.
I had never seen my Jordan until last week. He can have a bit of an attitude sometimes too. We all found that amusing, chip off the old block. Although his dad swears he was an angel at that age. LOL

Um... I'm certainly older than Jordyn, but I get a little cranky after a week with my family too ;) That said, I *am* looking forward to seeing them at Christmas!
That is a darling little red outfit. So cute.
