Thanksgiving

At first, Thanksgiving was going to be just Cole and I and Cade. No other family. No real dinner. So we were really excited when plans worked out to go meet Shanna and Matthew in Colorado for Thanksgiving. We were in Pagosa Springs, CO and it was gorgeous! It snowed on Thanksgiving and Cole was loving being back in the Mountains. We really didn't do a whole lot other than hang out and spend time with Shanna and Matthew. The boys played a lot of video games and Shan and I did a lot of card making. And both parties were perfectly content.

Cade was throughly confused at who his real mama was. Whenever I was not around he would want to go to Shan. He would hang on her leg, go to her when he was sad, snuggle with her-everything he does to me and will not do to Cole. Whether he thought it was his mom or whether it was the next best thing-we are not sure. But it was funny to watch! Cade was not the only one confused. More often than not, Shan and I would randomly dress alike. And since we all had to share a small space and were always in close proximity, the husbands had to double check before making any type of move!

We had tons of fun and Shan and I made a great semi-homemade dinner. It was really nice to be around family for Thanksgiving and it was so fun to see Cade play with his Aunt and Uncle!
Here are some snippets from the trip.

We had quite the drive. Whenever we would stop Cade would get so excited. He knew he could get out of the carseat for a bit. Who wouldn't?!

On the way home, we were passing through the mountains in Colorado and Cole spotted this ram trotting down the mountain. Way cool.
