For turkey day we took a road trip all the way down to Lodi, CA with our little guy and my sister and brother-in-law, Dana and Cliff to spend the Holiday with Mike's side of the family. This was our first holiday that we got to spend with them and it was very special. My wonderful mother-in-law graciously accepted us into her home and provided a wonderful turkey dinner. It was wonderful to get to spend more time with Pat, my mother-in-law, Cliff, my father-in-law, and Mike's sisters, Julie and Lori since we hardly get to see them being so far away. Jacob again loved hanging out with his little 6 year old cousin Alexa who entertained him to no end. Alexa also entertained me by allowing me to play with her hair and cuddle constantly. It was nice getting my little girl fix since Jacob is go go go. While it wasn't the entire Hanks clan it was so special to gather as many people as we did around the dinner table to give thanks. I'm so glad that it worked out that Cliff and Dana could come down with us and I pray that we're able to visit again soon. Thank you Pat for all your hospitality.
