Thanksgiving in NJ

We went to NJ for Thanksgiving this year. It was a long drive and we always need a day or two to get back to a normal schedule. Mimi had a tough time with naps....and had fallen asleep on Daddy's lap!
We love Grandma and Grandpa's fireplace...so warm and cozy!
And Grandpa read us books...
And Mimi was a great help to Grandma Mary preparing the turkey and all the sides!
While visiting our cousins we ran into Santa Claus! Mimi was not willing to sit with him.
We also got to take a train ride on an old train...I loved it!
And Santa visited us on the train. Danny and I posed for a picture and then told Santa what we want for Christmas...I hope he brings it!
I loved the train ride!
The Christmas Express...
We ended our couple of days there with a very special treat from Grandma Mary...and here is what was left of it after we finished!

Good-Bye Ripken

We had to say good-bye to Ripken tonight. He was getting old and sick and we know he is going to a better place. We love you Ripken and we miss you.
