Wild Thanksgiving Weekend

We spent Thanksgiving in South Dakota visiting Josh's family. Of course, in planning for a long weekend, we didn't pack enough baby food or the camera! Luckily Josh's cousin Sara is an amazing photographer and caught a few of Jolie (I hope she doesn't mind me stealing them!)

Jolie had lots of fun playing with her second cousins Kaydyn (almost two years), Henry (almost one year) and Bryson (two months). And she even hung out with her Grandpa Buechler and he taught her to play some cards! (this has been an on-going battle with Jolie as she kept being a little stinker whenever her Grandpa Buechler tried to play with her) so this was a HUGE accomplishment!

We got to see her Great Aunt Cindy and Uncle Kevin, and Josh's cousins Travis and Amber, Sara and Austin and Tyrel. We also saw Grandma and Grandpa Buechler, Ali, Great Grandma and Grandpa Buechler and Great Grandma and Grandpa Pedersen--whoa! Jolie did great even though she came down with an ear infection (thank goodness Aunt Cindy was able to check her out and call in a prescription for her--made the rest of the trip much more enjoyable!)








We went to the new Children's Museum in Brookings and IT IS AMAZING! Jolie definitely was not feeling too good when we were there so she wasn't up for trying much, be if you ever get the chance to check it out-we highly recommend it! We are already excited to go back once Jolie gets a little bigger!

So after 14 hours in the car, one puppy chase down in South Dakota, a cracked windshield, one ear infection--we made it home! We were very thankful that we didn't see any snow to interfere with our travel plans and were so happy we got to see everyone!

Thanks for the pictures Sara--you are amazing!
We also met up with Petey again on Sunday and were all 'Reunited and it feels so good!' And yes, I believe I did hear the music playing in the background as we slow motioned ran to each other--haha! He had so much fun playing with Murphy and meeting Nelly in Wood River, but I think the little guy was ready to come home as he's been sleeping since we got him!
