Thanksgiving

For Evie's first Thanksgiving we drove to Kearney to spend the weekend with family. It was a nice change from the hassle of holiday air travel out of NYC. We threw everything in the car after Erik got off work and were there in about 5 1/2 hours.

Evie got to see all of her grandparents, great-grandparents, and the Kearney Marlatt's. She made herself at home everywhere we went, exploring all of the new places. She especially liked getting to spend time with her cousin Sammy. We adults don't hold the same fascination for her as other kids do.

We had a traditional turkey dinner at Lindsey's house.

Evie got to meet her Great-Uncle Chris who is home from work in Afghanistan.

We watched the game at Nana & Papa's. The Huskers gave the Buffaloes a beat down.

Nana & Papa have a tradition of taking a picture of Jack each year in the red chair.
The tradition now continues with Evie.
