Thanksgiving Trip to Michigan


On Thanksgiving Day, all three of us flew to Michigan to visit family and check up on Grandma Six who had back surgery. I have to recommend traveling on the actual morning of Thanksgiving is the way to go with children. There was no one in any of the airports, including Chicago O'Hara. William was fascinated with the 'extra big escalators'.
The highlight of any trip to Michigan for William is hanging out with his awesome 'big' cousins. William is all smiles with them around.
Daddy and William enjoying a Vitale's Pizza (Mommy on the other hand doesn't understand what the excitement is for this greasy disgusting pizza is all about).
William giving Grandpa Scratchy his annual nutcracker for his collection. This was the first year that William was fascinated by the nutcrackers (he preferred using his finger instead of a nut, though).
William thought he was as cool as Grandma Six was with his antlers on.
Aunt Kate and Mommy took William to the mall to sit on Santa's lap with little expectation that he would get within 10 feet of Santa. However, wonders never cease. William was initaily shy then he marched over and sat on Santa's lap and asked him about how his reindeers were doing (Daddy had prompted him to do this before we left for the mall). If you are wondering how the reindeers were...They are great.
William loves his Aunt CAKE!!!!
Grandma Six decided to make a store bought gingerbread house with William and Mark.... It is amazing that there was any candy put on the house as most of it went into the boys' tummies.
This is what playing with family does to a little one.... wipes him out!!!!!
