a rochester thanksgiving

the same year travis and i moved to boston my brother, eric and his wife, katie moved to rochester, new york. we spent our first thanksgiving as east coasters together at their place and have made it a tradition ever since! we have really enjoyed spending our last few thanksgivings with them. we were talking this last week about our first thanksgiving and how it was only us 4 plus annie, who was one at the time. this year we added 3 extra kids to the party!

we had a great week hanging out, playing with cousins, enjoying the first snow of the season, going to the museum of play, and, what we christensens do best, eating!! speaking of, i was in charge of packing up the car to be ready for the trip. don't worry, i made sure we had all of the food we needed (wanted) but forgot my camera! so, these pictures are thanks to eric and katie!


they have a great basement full of toys, a ball pit and slide, and a swing! we spent some quality time down there!

checking out the first snow

something you may not know about travis is that he's pretty goofy. don't believe me?

the whole group minus katie

enjoying some pie

one of the highlights of the trip was to meet cute baby megan. i held her any chance i had! she is such a good baby!

at the musuem of play:

ha! i thought this was a funny picture!


cameron, calvin and annie. this was the funniest bath calvin has ever had! they kept looking at each other and then would crack up laughing...so funny.

thanks eric and katie!!!

I can't believe how much Calvin looks like a little boy now! I guess haircuts will do that to a kid.
