Happy Thanksgiving!

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving we headed up to Rochester to spend time with the Dinse side of the family. Natalie fell asleep right at her regular 7:30 PM bedtime, but woke up as soon as we arrived at Grandma and Grandpa's. Luckily, they were happy to entertain her for a little bit before we headed to bed. On Thanksgiving, Cole and Brittany, Heather and Audrey joined us for dinner. Much to Kaija's disappointment, Natalie was a bit overwhelmed with all the people and refused to eat turkey and mashed potatoes. Anyone who knows our little girl - she likes to eat! On Friday, Kaija's Aunt Marlene and Uncle Bob came for a visit. It was great to see them and they brought Natalie the cutest book - "Princess Baby"! On Saturday, Kaija had an afternoon out with Donna, Heather and Audrey to see "The Nutcracker". It was nice to get into the holiday spirit and get some adult time. After a quick pizza dinner back at the house we packed up the car and were off to Virginia again. Natalie fell asleep before we left Rochester, which led to a long night when we returned home, but at least we had Sunday to recover. We're looking forward to seeing Grandma and Grandpa D again at Christmas in Ashburn!
