This year it was our turn to spend Thanksgiving with my mom. I wanted to go a week early, since a hadn't done my yearly visit yet. So we made arrangements for Aaron to fly down for Thanksgiving, and then ride back with us. I drove the girls in Aaron's BIG red truck down to Idaho. It took me 2 days. About 16 1/2 hours. We made alot of potty stops for Taiya. I was somewhat nervous about this venture. But it actually turned out pretty good. The roads and the girls were thankfully good. We had fun hanging out with Grandma Sheryl. We all got sick for the first week. But by the time everyone else showed up, we were feeling up to socializing. Fun to catch up with everyone. It was amazing to see how fast our Thanksgiving meal was prepared. There were so many to help. Our Thanksgiving Traditions at Grandma Sheryl's include:
- A Great Turkey Dinner
- Lots of Board Games
- A Few Family Runs
- A Clay Pidgeon Shoot
- Volleyball @ the Church Gym
- A Studebaker's Pizza Visit
- And our new tradition - Visiting Dad

I love tradition. It's fun to see what other families do and how similar some things are and different things too....I love getting ideas for new traditions.
I love family traditions it makes things so enjoyable. Looks like you had a great time and way to be brave and travel by yourself for 16.5 hours glad you made it safely sorry you got sick!
