Thanksgiving

This post is a bit late, but certainly no less special for us. We spent Thanksgiving in Idaho with Aaron's family and had a wonderful week. Cousins were a main source of fun, and Great-Aunt Ginnie was indispensable. Rhys hardly noticed Daddy and Mommy were around what with Grandma, Grandpa, cousin Kylah and Aunt Ginnie keeping him entertained. Aunt Ginnie went home on Thursday evening, and Friday morning the first words out of Rhys's mouth were, "Where's Aunt Ginnie?" He kept asking for her throughout the day. 'Tis the season: we are so grateful for all of Aaron's family!

We even managed to get in a good hike at the Little City of Rocks. Rhys is a spectacular hiker and he and Daddy did some rock scrambling, too. Alanna (in the pack on my back) slept through the climbing we did.
