This year is technically a year to spend Thanksgiving with Christy's family. But her brother and his family were not arriving in town until Thursday night. So we were able to travel a few hours to visit Sam's family. We were less than two miles from our house when we were in a small traffic incident. We were parked at a light when a furniture delivery truck in front of us started to back up because they were out in the intersection and the light had changed. We could not get the car in reverse and backed up in time so they hit us. There was no major damage, just a few scrapes and the bumper is out of alignment. It was a bummer and put us about 30 minutes behind schedule.
Wednesday night we were the only one at Grammy and Grandad's house so there was a lot of grandparent time. Usually there are 5 grand kids so this was a special treat. Katherine had fun building a tower with Grandad (or she says daddad).
Then she had fun climbing into the wagon that the Lego's come in. 
She kept wanting to be pulled in the wagon. Finally we showed her how to pull her baby and that was better.
Grammy bought her a baby carrier for her baby doll. It is similar to the one that mommy used to carry her. It was pretty cute.
On Thursday Uncle Ryan, Aunt Carissa and Cousin Ty arrived for lunch. Ty is 5 months older than Katherine. They usually are with the other grand kids and it is general chaos so it was fun for them to only have the two of them to play. They got along very well and there were no struggles with sharing toys!
Grammy and Grandad set up a card table for the kids and even ate with them so that the parents could have a more peaceful Thanksgiving meal. That was nice.
We left an hour or two after lunch to head back home to see Christy's family for Thanksgiving part 2. Stay tuned for photos of that adventure.
