This year we took the train to Wilmington DE to spend Thanksgiving with Grandma Debbie and Poppy. Aunt Beth traveled with us. Actually we spent 9 days with Aunt Beth – thanks for putting up with us and being such an awesome Aunt, Beth.

Cheery on the train. Ally did not sleep a wink but watched 3 movies and a TV show and did not complain once about how long it was. We were delayed out side of NYC and the train ride ended up taking about 8 hours!
But once we got there Ally was ready for games – Spot It was the before bed game while I unpacked and got us settled in. Then Grandma read books before sleep time.
In the morning Ally worked on crafts with Grandma and Poppy – they colored, and did a sticker book together.
Then Aunt Beth helped with a food project – making Pilgrim hats with a marshmallow dipped in chocolate and placed on an upside down fudge-stripe cookie.
They came out really cute!
Ally had fun playing games with everyone. And she received some great birthday gifts from Aunt Pam (a pot-holder kit) and a great book about a train ride.
A family picture before dinner, and yes Ally ate some turkey, tried the stuffing and was thrilled to eat some raw spinach.
After dinner we played a family trivia game. Aunt Beth and Ally were a team. Can you guess the only family member to ride a camel? Answer was Ally.

We brought Ally’s new bug aspirator! Poppy sucked up 2 bugs for Ally, after searching the yard high and low for some.
Then it was my turn to give it a go.
We did have success in catching 1 specimen but we set it free before we went inside.
Ally and Aunt Pam. What a great picture of the 2 of them!

It was a very nice Holiday and was wonderful to see so many relatives.
