For Thanksgiving this year we headed to Long Beach.
Jared’s parents are serving a mission there and most of Jared’s siblings were going to visit as well.
We had a 2 room suite in our hotel which was perfect for Luke. It made naptime and bedtime a breeze! Plus, Jared and I could stay up later and watch movies. Going to bed at the same time Luke does (7:30pm) doesn’t make for a fun vacation for us.
It was a jam packed weekend.
We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific, ate yummy Thanksgiving dinner, fed the ducks, played at the beach and took Luke to Seaworld for his 2 year birthday celebration.
I missed Ruby the whole time. This holiday was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
Maybe it was because we weren’t planning on going to Long Beach because we thought we would be home snuggling a newborn.
I also really wanted to go decorate her grave, but we are too far away right now.
I will be able to for Christmas.
However, even though it was hard it was nice to be busy and surrounded by loving family.
I'm glad you guys had a good time. We went to that aquarium when Ryan was just over one. It would be so much more fun now. :) I love the beach this time of year. The picture of you and Luke and Ruby's name is just precious.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you VERY often. I'm glad you were able to get away for Thanksgiving...looks like it was a good time.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it through the holiday. I am looking forward to decorating Teagan's grave when we go home for Christmas. I really like Ruby's name in the sand and Luke is such an adorable boy. hugs.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lot of fun. I am sure the holidays are not easy. The picture in the sand was a good idea. I am glad you can go home for Christmas and visit Ruby's grave.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was lots of fun! Glad you could be surrounded by family and kept busy.
