So we were nervous about being the "crying baby" family of plane trip horror stories. To set ourselves up for success on the busiest travel weekend, we decided to take a very early flight. This meant getting up in the middle of the night, but it also meant that Eli slept all the way through the car ride, the check-in process, most of the flight, the check-out process and most of the car ride to my mom's house. Nicely done Eli! When he was awake, he behaved like a gentleman. The first day we just hung out with Grammy Linda and Uncle Declan. This was Declan's first chance to meet Eli and we were glad to spend so much time with him, especially since he is going to Iraq for a year with the Army in a few weeks. We split Thanksgiving with Grandpa Steve/Nana Smitty and with the Jensen clan.
#1 ~ snoozing over the Rocky Mountains ...
#2 ~ Eli, Grammy Linda and Declan. I was glad to finally see these two boys together, as Eli often makes faces that remind me of my brother
#3 ~ Eli with Smitty's grandkids Sarah and Daniel. This will be a good one for nostalgia when they're all much bigger.
#4 ~ Eli meets his Grandpa Steve
#5 ~ Eli with the Dillman side: Smitty, Steve, V and Declan
