We headed to Sacramento on Tuesday to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with my family. I have never seen the airports so dead in all of my life. The planes were not full, there were no lines to stand in, I am still shocked by it. Sacramento was actually quite pretty. Seeing the colorful leaves with crispy weather was nice. My sister Lindsay hosted a Lobster feast on Wednesday night with some family friends. (Normally we have lobsters on Christmas Eve, but since we won't be with my family, we did it the night before Thanksgiving.) It was delicious! Caleb actually tried some and liked it. He nearly ate the entire bowl of fruit salad and I thought he might burst. I do not know how his little belly can hold so much food! He was so cute offering some fruit to his friend Claire, or should I say playing trickery. When Caleb offers someone a bite to eat and then quickly snatches it away, we like to call that trickery. It is so funny, yet disappointing for those on the receiving end. Claire was a bit perplexed as to why she was tasting some fruit, but never got to eat it!
My sister revealed Caleb's costume for Thanksgiving.......he was going to be our t
urkey! At first I had flashbacks of Halloween and how he wasn't too excited to be dressed as a monkey, but he loved this turkey costume! He waddled around the room flapping his wings. He was the cutest turkey I had ever seen! Aunt Lindsay is the best! She wanted Thanksgiving to be celebrated like the Pilgrims and Indians so we each had a festive hat to wear. You have to love her creativity!Caleb didn't sleep tremendously well while we were away, not sure if it was the time difference or surroundings. Perhaps the Elvis suite we stayed in was a bit too much for his liking. We had missed the holidays with my family the past few years because travel has just been too expensive. Perhaps that is why the airport was so vacant. Once you have a new family member in the picture, you have to make holidays work. This year was special because I actually saw tears in my sister's eyes as we were leaving, which immediately made me cry too! I am so thankful for the time with my family this past week.

Glad you had a fun trip!!
I'm assuming the picture of Caleb dressed as the turkey is with your sister? I like her. She had a costume for Caleb and fun hats for everyone else. My kind of gal! And Nathan didn't sleep well a couple of months ago in Virginia, I think it has something to do with being in an unfamiliar environment. Glad you had such a nice Thanksgiving!
