England Day 2: Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace

      What a difference a day makes. On our second day in England, Connor was finally back to his normal self and we were all ready to explore London! We picked up breakfast {donuts and yogurt} and lunch {sandwiches and snacks} at the grocery store and piled it into the stroller. We ate our breakfast as we walked to the tube station since we were running a little late.

 Playing before we leave our flat.

England Day 1: London

     One place that I have always wanted to visit is London. Being that we live in Europe and are only a 2 1/2 hour plane ride away, it's been on our list of places to see while we are living here.Over the long Thanksgiving weekend we were able to check this destination off our list! 

    The trip started off to a bad start. The morning of {Thanksgiving Day -11/26} we left our house at about 6am. Not even 10 minutes into the drive and Connor started throwing up in the car. We pulled over, changed his clothes, and got back on the road. I didn't think much of it until 20 minutes later when it happened again and I realized that Connor caught the stomach bug Aaron had a couple days before. He got sick just about every 20-30 minutes until we got on the plane. We were nervous they weren't going to let us on the plane, but nobody said anything to us.

Waiting at the airport. He had these bursts of energy in between getting sick.

Hoho The Elf

     We had a special visitor from the North Pole cook up a delicious breakfast for us this morning. When Connor saw his new elf and all the food surrounding him, he was so excited! He immediately put a muffin, donut, mini pancake, slice of bacon, and apple slice on his plate with the biggest smile on his face. 

Christmas Book Countdown

    Hello December! We are very happy that you are here! This year we are super happy to be starting a new tradition: a Christmas book countdown. Over the last month I have been adding to our existing collection so that we could have 24 books to read every night until Christmas morning. On Christmas morning we will read one final book, The Christmas Baby by Marion Dane Bauer.

Thanksgiving 2015

Happy Thanksgiving,

 From our Family to yours!
