Thanksgiving

Staci and Tony had a family dinner at their house. Tony BBQ some steaks, which were amazing! And Staci made some fabulous salads. We had a great time.

Grandpa playing with Rocco
Rocco... who was just fixed the day before, but you couldn't even tell. He was a bundle of energy. It sure didn't slow him down.
Taylor
The stare down between Rocco and Connor... I think they're both looking forward to Connor getting old enough for them to play together. Also in the picture is Tony, Shawn and Staci.



Jason, Connor and I drove to Kelso to spend Thanksgiving at his sister, Sue's. This was our first real trip with Connor.... and first car ride over 1 hour. He did excellent! We drove to his sister, Frann's house in Issaqua (4 1/2 hours) Wednesday, then drove to Sue's house in Kelso (3 hours with traffic) Thursday, then drove back to Frann's (2 hours) Friday, then drove home (4 1/2 hours) Saturday. Connor slept the entire time he was in the car!

Game time! It's a Charette tradition to play board games after dinner. We had sooo much fun playing "Imagine Iff" and "Apples to Apples"

lunch with Jason's best friend, Lee and his wife, Debra
Saturday morning we brought Connor in to wake Aunt Frann up, but found Miah curled up with her head on the pillow and covers up to her nose and couldn't resist taking a picture...

Tantie Frann, Connor and her kids- Miah and Ferra. Connor just loved her girls! He can't wait to go back and visit Aunt Frann's Zoo again! LOL He also loved watching her 2 fish... and her 2 cats. Hmmm 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 fish and 2 best friends next door with 2 dogs. =)

Frann and her best friend and next door neighbor, Rob. We had a lot of fun hanging out with Frann and Rob. Connor thinks Tantie Frann and Rob should take a road trip to Medical Lake to visit us now! =)
One last baby massage before we hit the road... you can't tell from the picture, but Connor is drooling and coo'ing all over her pant leg. He loves his back massages from his Tantie Frann!
Thanks for letting us stay with you Frann!
