We were able to fly to Colorado to be with Travis's family like always.
We were planning on just me and the kids going for an entire week and then Travis coming Wednesday after he got out of class but the day before we were suppose to leave Travis changed his mind!
He found out right before that there really wasn't much of a reason for him to stick around for school those 3 days before Thanksgiving so he changed his ticket to come with the rest of us!
(Thank goodness for Southwest!)
I'm so glad he came with us though because I honestly don't know if I could've handled both kids by myself on the flight there.
Raleigh was great. She ate and then slept the whole time.
The problem was Lawson.
It's hard enough to keep a two year old cooped up in a tiny airplane seat for 2.5 hours but it becomes even harder when holding a 3 month old and trying to prevent said baby from waking up.
Anyway...we survived but I was sure glad to have some back up from Travis.
The week was spent doing all our usual Anderson family traditions for Thanksgiving.
Eating (lots!), movies, Black Friday shopping, basketball games, Turkey Bowl, bowling, more eating, and just relaxing and enjoying being all together which only happens once or twice a year.
This year was extra special though because Travis's little brother Nick got engaged...
Hallelujah!
I've been waiting FOUR years for one his brothers to get married and give me a friend and it's finally happened!
We're so excited for Nick and Rachelle!
(Seriously, you have no idea how excited...)
Yay for another girl joining the Anderson family!
Here's a picture of the whole (huge!) family after our Thanksgiving feast!
Don't you love how Lawson is refusing to sit with the rest of the family and be normal for the picture?
Little monkey turd...
(That's what we call him when he's not cooperating very well by the way...)

And here's all the babies that we're born since last Thanksgiving!
Raleigh is a little outnumbered by her boy cousins :)
And way to represent the aunts among all us nieces Aunt Kristi!
It was a great week and of course went by way too fast.
We were a little sad to be going back home but we'll be back in April for a wedding!
Now on to Christmas time...the most wonderful time of the year!
