Thanksgiving Trip To Baltimore

Last week we visited some of Eric's family in Baltimore for Thanksgiving. Audrey did great on her first flight across the country. On our second flight from Dallas to Dulles, we were some of the last people to board and as we walked to our seats in the back of the plane, we realized Audrey was making everyone smile as she grinned from ear to ear in her Bjorn. It was like a wave of smiles as we walked down the aisles. Audrey even got to sit in her own seat.
We arrived late Tuesday night (actually early Wednesday morning at 1 am) to George and Stefanie’s house and got to meet week-old Sofia for the first time. We all enjoyed hanging out being aunties and uncles.



On Thursday, George and Stefanie hosted Thanksgiving at their house. Between our family, George's family and friends, there were over 20 people (with enough food for 60.)
Eric's mom (Cedulie) and Step-dad (Luis)

While we were there, we took many walks and I fell in love with leaves. We were so lucky that the leaves had not all fallen before we got there. Here is a slide show of my many leaf pictures:



Friday, we raked leaves for George and Stefanie filling up 34 huge black trash bags of leaves. I almost fell out of love with leaves, but not before falling into them.


We are looking forward to our next trip in January!
