We had a great week in Indiana and Wisconsin with Ben’s parents, siblings, and extended family. It was great to spend time with his part of the family that we don’t get to see very often.

Benji and Kiah got along great - all of the kids did.

Packer loved playing trains while we were there!

Ben made this pie using a real pumpkin! He was quite the baker this trip.

Ben's mom hanging out in the kitchen with him while he baked.

Hanging out with Micah in Indiana!! They just loved PLAYING.

Grandpa took Wednesday off from work and brought out the Electric Train to entertain the grandkids.

Ben with his apple pie! I must say that this truly was the BEST apple pie that I have ever eaten! and the best pie of our Thanksgiving Feast. Hands Down.

Cali was a mama's girl the whole time. Everyone wanted to play with her but she had a hard time warming up to it all.

Our last day - In Wisonsin at Ben's brothers house - Benji enjoying some more cousin time.

Micah turned 3 while we were there!

Here's Ben chatting with his sister and dicussing Ninja's or something with the oldest neice and nephew.

We really had a fun trip. Benji and Packer thought the airplane was pretty neat. Flying with 3 young ones wasn’t easy but we managed and survived and we learned that if you buy tickets for 2 people with the same name they will give away one of your seats and make checking in difficult! Thanksgiving dinner was in Wisconsin with Ben’s Grandmother. She takes us all to her country club so we didn’t cook or clean, we just enjoyed the food and the company and the Packer game of course. We spent Thanksgiving day with Grandma and some of Ben’s aunts and uncles and siblings. I caught a cold and Benji and Cali caught the pink eye that was going around – so we took it easy today and will jump back into real life in a few hours when Monday morning gets here and my alarm goes off for me to go running… ughh I shouldn’t have eaten so much pie!
