Thanksgiving in Chehalis

~~~ SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR THIS YEAR ~~~

The snow started to melt and on the morning of Thanksgiving we were able to get out of our neighborhood (after 5 days of being cooped up inside) and take the trip to Chehalis. This was our first mini road trip since Janie's arrival and we had some apprehension about traveling with a newborn and a recently potty trained child in the inclement weather on a holiday weekend, but the trip went far better than we expected!

When we arrived, Grandma and Grandpa Stevens were really excited to see the girls. And Clara was really excited to go in and play with all of Grandma and Grandpa's toys! Soon Taylor arrived and after lots of hugs, they both enjoyed the toys together.

Big Hugs!

Grandma and Grandpa Swanson - I was thrilled to capture this tender moment between the two of them. They truly are an exceptional couple!

Grandma Jan bought all of her grandkids Christmas PJ's and we decided it would be cute to get a photo of them all together. What a feat that turned out to be!

These are the best shots we got...

Even with all of the kiddo chaos, we all had a wonderful day together and are reminded of just how much we have to be thankful for. A healthy, happy, loving family is the best blessing of all!
