And We Gave Thanks

Our Thanksgiving trip to Denver was a smashing success! Jadyn was a pleasant airplane passenger and got along famously with her new friends, Enzo and Maxine. She played a little Nerf football with the Enzo and friends on Thanksgiving, shrieking with delight when she was able to scoop up a fumble and run it across the room for a touchdown. We even had her spiking the ball after a score! Maxine's room was a treasure trove of fun things to explore, and she was most interested in hitting play on Maxine's CD player, so she could dance to Jackson 5's Greatest Hits. A kitchen drawer of cups and straws was also worth checking out.

Who could resist riding the big stuffed animals? Not these girls!

The Thanksgiving feast was fantastic, as usual.

The next day we went for a hike at Bluff Lake.



We also visited with former neighbors who now live in Boulder. One room in their house was set up for various gymnastic like activities, which Jadyn enjoyed immensely.




Thanks to our hosts for a great vacation -- we escaped the freezing temperatures and snow in Seattle for bright sun and lots of love and friendship! Jadyn used the opportunity to expand her vocabulary each day, push her physical limits trying to keep up with the older kids, and explore her unique sense of style.

Hope your Thanksgiving was just as bright!
