Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was really special. All of my mom's family came to Colorado and we stayed in this ridiculously nice cabin in Breckenridge. It was so incredible beautiful and there was plenty of space for everyone. We had a great time eating, talking, baking, eating, snowboarding, playing ping pong, eating, sleeping and playing foosball. 

The first night that we were there we had Juliet in a pack n play in our room and Abby in a pack n play in the closet right across from our room. About 12 Abby woke up crying so I brought her in bed with me. She was being so noisy and she woke up Juliet. As Juliet is waking up Abby says "Shh Juliet I sleeping!" She was doing everything except for sleeping. So we put Abby back in her bed and then tried to get Juliet to go back to sleep. I got so tired waiting for Jules to go back to sleep that we grabbed some extra pillows and blankets and laid down in the hallway right next to our nice beds. Just as Juliet had gone back to sleep and we were getting ready to go back to bed, Abby woke up again. We couldn't take her back in the same room as Juliet again. So the three of us slept in the hallway on the floor. It was really funny. Luckily we figured it out and everyone slept much better the rest of the week. 



The day after Thanksgiving we were able to go snowboarding. My aunts and grandma were nice enough to watch Juliet and Abby so that we could go. It was a blast! We went to the Loveland ski resort and it was beautiful. The snow was actually really awesome, we were worried since it was so early in the season. I only fell once and it was on the bunny hill go figure. It was so fun to be there with all of my family and Kyle.



On Thanksgiving day we had our Christmas gift exchange so all of the cousins could see each other open their gifts. My mom got Juliet a little baby doll. Juliet's reaction to that doll was one the highlights of the trip. She was in love. She kept kissing it and hugging it. She would rock it and pack its back. Everyone just cracking up over her. It was the sweetest thing. She will be a good big sister...someday.

It was the perfect trip. Abby had so much fun with all of the kids. We were all so sad when it was over.
