Thanksgiving Out West

This past week we celebrated Thanksgiving with Morgan's family in Dublin, California. Here is a photo of the thanksgiving table.

Our hosts, Jenny Lynn and Gabriel (Morgan's cousin and her husband).

Of course, getting to the festivities in a timely manner meant flying. This was Lena's first plane trip (and only her second time out of Illinois) and she did great on all accounts. Here are Morgan and Lena before take-off in Chicago.

Paul and Lena catching up on some sleep in the hotel room while Morgan and her mom play games.

Morgan's uncle Jack was one of many family members Lena got to meet on this trip. We especially got a kick out of hearing Jenny Lynn's silly songs that she made up for Lena ("Jenny Lynn is the best word, maybe it'll be my first word".

On Sunday night the three of us ventured into San Francisco and had a wonderful time visiting with Paul's extended family. Here are Morgan, Lena, and Sol (Paul's uncle) before dinner at aunt Jennifer's apartment.

Morgan and Lena at a park near our hotel this morning.

Paul and Lena in the same park sitting by the fountain.

Jenny Lynn, Jenny Lynn

She is my favorite cou-sin
Yes she is, yes she is

Jenny Lynn Jenny Lynn - my first word might be Jenny Lynn
If she lived out here is probably would be :) :)

Stripes are long and straight
I light to wear stripes!
They are better than plaid

So glad you guys came out! Miss you already!
Love,
Jenny
