We spent our Thanksgiving in Conneaut with Pat's family. We decided that it would be best to do the five-hour drive early in the day rather than in the evening after work, and I think we made a good decision. We were able to make the trip with just one stop north of Columbus - long enough to feed Max, get Leah a snack, change some diapers and get a coffee refill. We were even able to get a nap out of both Leah and Max after we arrived! Rick treated Pat and I to an afternoon at the American Legion while Nana and Connie watched Leah and Max, and a delicious dinner was waiting for us when we got home. Then the unexpected happened. Leah got sick - twice. Leah has never thrown up, and of course her first time had to happen in her bed in the middle of the night. She was a real trooper though - we had her on a bland diet throughout turkey day, and she never argued about it. After watching the Macy's Parade, Dayna, Paul and Taylor arrived, and later Aunt Cork, Rick and Kim. We enjoyed catching up with everyone over turkey, stuffing, potatoes - and of course, pie! We even celebrated Nana's 91st birthday with cake! Pictures include Leah sitting at the bar with cousin Taylor and my little 18-pound turkey - Max sitting on his own!
