Thanksgiving

We drove up to Oregon for Thanksgiving to visit Jeremy's family. Jeremy's parents and grandpa live there, along with Julie (sister) and her family. Jodi (sister) and her family joined us from LA, but we all missed Jen (sister) and her family this year.

Lincoln did a great job driving up to Oregon (an 11 hour trip). He slept most of the way since we drove through the night. We reached Eugene, OR, and found a Target parking lot since Jeremy needed a quick power nap. We took Lincoln out of his carseat and he was so excited to camp out in the van. It took him a while to calm down and let us get some sleep. His excitement and silliness that night was one of the first highlights of our trip... Even in the most unlikely situations he brings us so much joy.

We had a great time celebrating Lincoln's first Thanksgiving. He adores his cousins and so do we. The kids (8 of the 11 cousins) all had a great time playing. We love watching them grow up, and it should be fun to see how they all interact as they get older.

(Pictured above in order by age are Alison, Megan, Hannah, Gracie, Molly, Luke, Jacob, and Lincoln.... from 13 to 1!!!!)

We made sure we got a great picture of the four generations of Brown family men. Great Grandpa was happy to finally meet Lincoln.

We were very Thankful for a great week with family and can't wait to see them again soon.
