thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving for our family was a bit different this year. Unfortunately, Chris's back has been acting up and he didn't think he could endure a 3+ hour car ride.  This year we took a 'divide and conquer' approach -- my family for me and Nate, Chris's family for him.

I definitely think that our Alabama trip was a good warm for this one. Nate did great in the car coming and going, slept well in the hotel, and I think he had a lot of fun seeing all of our relatives.  I have so much to be thankful for this year: an amazing baby boy who is so sweet and funny that words cannot adequately express, a husband who is a terrific father and keeps me on my toes, a family that is always there for me and loves me unconditionally, and good friends to talk about it all with. Yup, I'm a pretty lucky girl!

Here are some pictures to help recount the trip that Nate and I made :)
