Thanksgiving Break

Monday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving break, we were just preparing for our departure to take place on Wednesday morning for Shelley and Steve's house.
Wednesday we left our home at 5:45am and picked up dad. We were off by 6am.
We got to Shelley's around 1:15pm. It was great. Sydney was a trooper and for some reason it slipped our mind to changed her diaper on the way down, so her seat was slightly damp when we got there. Poor girl.
We made a quick trip to Trader Joe's in Redlands with Brigitte and got our sparkling drinks for dinner. We love the Clementine sparkling drink they have. Tastes just like orange soda.
Thursday there was a ton of baking and cooking all day long. Nick, Gabe's brother, arrived and catching up was way fun. 
Dinner was awesome! Gabe and I made bread for dinner and green beans. There was turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, corn pudding? and deviled eggs. There was pumkin pie, apple pie, and a oreo cookies and cream pie, and chocolate delight. I broke my rule once and had a little chocolate delight. It was oh so yummy and my sister in law Melissa made it! Thanks Melissa!
Friday we went to the Apple Cider and Apple Butter Festival up in Oak Glenn I think it was, near Shelley's house. We walked around and some of us bought a few things and then we took some pictures. I think they turned out great!
