Flying with 2, Thanksgiving, and Steve's Wedding...

My older brother Steve got married on November 28th to his love in the Oakland Temple. We were grateful to be able to go and be apart of the celebration! But in order for us to go, we had to travel with 2 small children! We knew that Teigan would be fine because he still sleeps so much--although, just the extra necessities that come with a newborn can be quite the hassle! We also knew we'd have to get pretty creative to keep little Ethan entertained on the airplane. Luckily, the flight wasn't full and Ethan was able to sit in his own seat even though we didn't pay for one. He surprised us with how calm and easily entertained he was!! We had absolutely no problems on the flight there or back! We flew out on Thanksgiving Day and met the rest of my family later in the afternoon. We waited a little too long before going to dinner, and since it was Thanksgiving nothing was open! So our Thanksgiving feast consisted of Whopper Jrs. and french fries! Which, to be honest, is all the same to me anyway. It was just fun to be with the entire family.

Friday was Steve's big day. They are a beautiful couple and we are excited to have Brittanie in our family!

We left early, early Saturday morning--it was such a quick trip for us! I'm just glad to be going to Colorado for Christmas because it just wasn't enough time with the family! Ethan absolutely adores his Papa (he asked, "where's papa?" the entire week before the wedding and hasn't stopped asking about Papa since we've been home) and loves his Uncle Scott and Uncle Jared to pieces. Grandma spoils Ethan way too much and he knows how to work her! :-) And Aunt Kristen is Ethan's favorite book reader. Ethan misses his Uncle Jordan (on his mission) terribly-and talks about him ALL the time! Of course, Teigan got passed around too! My grandparents were able to come as well, so it was nice for Ethan and Teigan to spend time with their great-grandparents!

I cant believe you came to Oakland and didnt call me! I understand it was a quick trip. I love flights that arent full because Maelyn does so much better. Your family is beautiful!
