Thanksgiving

We all went up to PA to spend Thanksgiving with Mimi and Popi. We went to Grandmom Harbold's to celebrate the day with lots of family. Aunt Jill and Uncle Mike even came down from north Jersey to be with everyone! Caitlynn had a great time trying to hit a turtle pinata that Aunt Margie put together for all the little ones. She even bought Caitlynn a Santa pop-up book! The guys raked leaves as usual and Caitlynn helped out this year. She mostly enjoyed helping Popi push the leaves in little piles with a shovel. Unfortunately, Caitlynn ended up getting a little fever and belly ache and we came home on Saturday so we missed the big Harbold gathering. We're sad that we didn't get to see some of the other family members but hope to see them all real soon!

Boulder, CO

Caitlynn is quite the traveler! She just returned from a trip to Boulder, CO to visit Gigi. She hasn't seen her since she was 4 months old so we felt this trip was way overdue! Everyone flew out to CO except Laura (she was just to pregnant to go). Caitlynn was great on the 3 1/2 hours plane ride. Ryan had help keeping her entertained from Mimi, Popi, and Uncle Rusty. Aunt Jill was already out there visiting their cousin Aspen. Gigi enjoyed spending the weekend with Caitlynn. It was a short trip but a lot of fun was had by all!

Trip to NJ

We just returned from a busy weekend in NJ. Uncle Andrew and Aunt Kitty were up from NC and Caitlynn loved spending extra time with them! On Saturday, she went to the Philadelphia Zoo with them, Uncle Richie and Mommy. She got to see a real Giraffe for the first time but thought seeing all the snakes was the best! Caitlynn had a great time checking out all the animals and even went for a ride on a train with Uncle Richie! He even let her pick out her own stuffed animal, she got a little monkey which she carried around with me all weekend long. On Sunday, we went to a luncheon to celebrate Adalean's baptism. She is Caitlynn's first cousin on Mommy's side of the family. Caitlynn was well behaved at the restaurant, of course, and loved running back and forth between the tables. It was a jam packed weekend of visiting with the family but we all had a great time seeing everybody and can't wait for the next family function!
