We headed out for the Thanksgiving holiday a week early to take advantage of visiting friends near DC and attending a PSU game at FedEx Field. We flew out of Michigan (Tally's 3rd flight!) on Friday and landed in Baltimore, where we met some college friends and their little girl Sammy for lunch. Sammy just turned one this past weekend and is such a cutie! {insert better-Mommy pictures here}
While visiting, Matt & Shannon were so kind and babysat Miss T all day Saturday so Mommy and Daddy could go watch Penn State (from a luxury suite). Don't ask - we're lucky ##&!*s and will likely never have that chance again! {insert wishful pictures here}
Talia and Marcus got along wonderfully the entire visit and T was said to leave.
Late Monday night, we packed up the car and drove to Nana & Poppy's, arriving at 1AM. You wouldn't have known it was the middle of the night though - Talia ran around the downstairs upon arrival...... much to Mommy and Daddy's dismay. Tuesday was a jam-packed day of visiting with family. Talia had the chance to see both Meme and her Great-Grandma and Grandpa in the same day!!! {insert better-Mommy pictures here}
On Wednesday morning, we packed up the car again and drove to Aunt Ann and Uncle Dan's! They moved to Bellefonte this past summer and we were so lucky to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with the Tripps and Grandma & Pappy (and Lucy, Gordon, and Bella). Little Miss Madelyn was all smiles and we miss her already. The girls were so cute and we look forward to many more holidays together! Unfortunately, it seems we were so busy we forgot to get out the camera since the following are the best shots we got - or, maybe high-tech Maddy erased them:)? {insert better-Mommy pictures here}
Amid all of the holiday fun, we drove downtown to State College to spend an hour or two with Aunt Kathy, Uncle Mike, and Talia's second cousins! We took over the downstairs of Irving's....
And, of course, no visit to State College is complete without a picture with the Lion Shrine. Remember the last time Talia visited (March 2010?). Does she look different?
