Turkey day

This year we spent Thanksgiving in VA with Grandma Nat and Granddaddy Chuck. We considered flying but ultimately decided to make the 10 hour drive instead. It turned out just as well given the storm that hit the East coast that week. On the way down though, we decided to get a hotel room and take a break. This was something of an event in itself - Ashton loved the hotel!! He had so much fun jumping on the bed, watching tv and having a breakfast picnic.

Thanksgiving day was full of family fun and yummy food.  Ashton got to hang out with his cousins, Eric and Caden, and they happily shared their favorite trucks and cars and even introduced him to an iPad.  We also took a trip to the VA Children's Museum, which was great, and checked out the new play center at the mall one day. 

Best of all though, Ashton got to spend lots of time with his grandparents, Uncle Chris and even Grandpa Leonard.

Getting settled into the hotel - note the time!  That's AM....
