The entire family flew to Tulsa just after Thanksgiving! We spent about a week and a half and were able to also go to cousin Jordan & Trent's wedding on December 1st!
We had Thanksgiving dinner Friday early evening after we arrived. We got to see lots of family during the trip and also visited the Tulsa Zoo! Maddie also got to do some shopping and we also got to see Santa!
Maddie had lots of energy after our flight from Chicago landed. She was running back and forth in the terminal while waiting for Joseph to get our luggage.
We had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving Day at home! We played in the morning until Pau Pau and Uncle Jeff came over for Thanksgiving lunch. We took it easy as we were going to leave the next morning for a week and a half visit to Tulsa to visit family!
James loves his big sister Maddie!
So thankful for these two!
I love this picture! Taken before dinner. Maddie reading quietly on the couch while James naps.
We celebrated Thanksgiving at home in Chicago this year as we were in Tulsa earlier this month (and also the travel cost would have been expensive).
While Joseph prepared the turkey, I took Maddie over to Dean Park to spend some time outside. Dean Park is also right next to the grocery story and we had to pick up a few things.
Maddie loves Dean Park as there are So Many Sticks! She loves to pick up sticks and put them in piles. I will sit on the swing and she will bring me stick after stick! She did not want to leave, but it was getting cold, so I told her to give me twenty more sticks and then we would go to the store. We counted them one by one and at 20 she was ready to leave.
We came home, had lunch and Maddie went down for her nap. Joseph and I cooked everything else for our Thanksgiving dinner. We did not take many photos during dinner, but the couple I took are below.
We spent Thanksgiving weekend in Tulsa! We also had a belated 1st birthday party as well at The Incredible Pizza Company. We had a fun busy weekend and it was great seeing family. The last time we were in Tulsa was in May, and Maddie had not even started crawling yet! She was fully walking at this visit! Here are some pictures from our visit and lots from Maddie's birthday party. Maddie got lots of presents, and ate lots of pizza and cake!
