Thanksgiving!

We drove out to Michigan this thanksgiving to have a fun time with Joe's mom and the rest of the family up there. Before we left- Joe climbed the silo at our house and shot some aerial views of our barns.



Then we all hopped in the car for the all night drive out there. Joe's mom will kill me for this pic because it is first thing in the morning- but that was the only time we remembered to take pics at her house.







When we got there- Ella found out that she got a pony for Christmas! It rocks and moves and makes fun sounds while it wiggles its tail and moves its head. She absolutely loves it.




Ella finally got to meet Aunt Loretta and Uncle Travis! We had so much fun at their house- and playing with the cousins. This is Anthony and Uncle Travis.






This is Ella, Anthony and Renee- Renee is eating cheese because when we asked her to say "cheese" - she realized that she really wanted some cheese :)




The trip was really fun and thanksgiving was great. Ella got pretty sick with and upper respiratory thing as soon as we got there- so because it was thanksgiving and my pediatricians answering service was unavailable- we did take a short trip to an ER just to find out that they can't help with anything until she is 4- decongestant wise. But they did suction her all out- so it was worth it- she/we did get some sleep that night because she wasn't gasping all night for air- so I felt a lot better about having gone. Whatever- shes my first kid- I'm allowed to freak out at colds :)




























What is sad is that Joe's Aunt had a heart attack the day after Thanksgiving- She is still unconscious in a hospital in Rochester, NY - its almost been 3 days - but we are hoping and praying for the best.
