Trip to NH

We went to NH to visit and join family for Thanksgiving. I know, it has been several weeks since Thanksgiving and this post is fairly late, but hey, better late than never, right?! Anyway, we had a great visit with everyone and a wonderful Thanksgiving day with lots of my Aunts, Uncles & cousins.

Our first stop on our visit was at my parents house, where the boys had fun raking leaves into a big pile to play in. Well, Quincy worked hard raking while Miles played:
But Quincy did most of the playing in the leaves once they were in a big pile:
Then it was on to my brother's house, where the kids got to visit with their cousins, here's Quincy just hanging with Tyler watching him play video games:
And later on in the weekend more family and cousins came to visit, here is Quincy & Maddie riding Jordan:
One highlight of the visit was the afternoon that we went to a secret Santa party. It was on a farm, we took a horse drawn hayride into the middle of the woods where the party was. Here we are on the hayride, a (rare) family pic:

And across from us here is Maddie and Dawn having fun together:
At the Santa party the kids got to meet Santa (in his farm clothes):
And they got to meet several other holiday characters, such as Rudolph, Frosty the snowman, the Gingerbread boy, and the Grinch:
My two boys were a bit apprehensive of just about everyone at the party, they didn't talk to any of them, but eventually they did let them get close and play a bit:(Miles hid behind that cup the entire time the Grinch was touching him!)

And to top it all off, they a pony ride:

We had a wonderful visit with everyone. the boys (and us) were very sad to leave and are still asking when we are going to NH again.
