This Thanksgiving we were able to fly over to Nebraska to spend the holidays with Gabe's parents. It was Ashlyn's first time flying. I was a little worried but she did really good. She pretty much slept the whole time. We were the first to get there, but over the next two days all of Gabe's siblings flew in. It was fun to be there with his whole family. And their apartment was so beautifully decorated for the holidays. Gabe's mom is very talented in putting together her home and all her holiday decor. So here is her beautiful Christmas tree, with cute little present for us all underneath!!!
Ashlyn with her cousin Jaycee! LOL... little Ashlyn looks a little scared. She has quite a few funny little faces. One of these days I am going to put together a blog.... "The many faces of Ashlyn"!
When everyone arrived we all went to downtown Omaha and walked around. You know we used to make fun of his parents for choosing to move to Nebraska, but it wasn't as po' dunk as I was thinking. Although, Mark (Gabe's dad) did pick us up at the airport in his carhartt jacket and hat, which is very "po' dunk"! Nebraska is very flat, but I thought there was a lot of Charm to that city.
Cute Jaycee with Grandma Ray!
Later that night we went to dinner at Old Chicago Pizza.
This was Ashlyn's first time meeting her Aunt Carly!
"Daddy, what are you doing, he's going to eat me"!!! What a cute little girl I love her so much!
We had a lot of fun this vacation. While we were there we did a little shopping. Mostly we went to the pawn shops. I swear that is among Gabe's favorite stores. We also went to the movie Blind Side, with Sandra Bullock. What a great movie. It was one of my favorite movies with her in it. Then after the movie we walked around the little shopping town. It was filled with people as they were having the big tree lighting ceremony, the day after thanksgiving. It was really great. Pretty much the rest of our vacation we hung out at the house watching movies and eating 24/7! I gained at least 5 whole pounds this trip, YIKES! At least I had fun doing it. Can't wait for Christmas:)
