This is going to feel like my monthly phone dump and it probably should go there, but I wanted to have a separate post for Vegas. Here's Roo ready to head off on his first flight. How it is possible that he is one and hasn't flown before now blows my mind. E had flown 8 times in her first year. (Granted Jakob was working for an airline at the time and Roo was born on the brink of a pandemic.)

Ready to go to Las Vegas!
Duke had to cart around this turkey with him over the holiday and write about what he did over Thanksgiving break (since we took them out of school.) It was a fun way to document some more adventures (as if I need help with that haha.)
there was puzzle building, and not just puzzle building but racing as they built. They crazy kids would time themselves and man, they are good!
I've said it once and I'll say it again. For me the grand adventures are amazing. They are a BIG deal and where a lot of memories come from. however, I feel like the small moments are where relationships are formed. Where you help clean potatoes, laugh over stories, race to build puzzles. That is where the magic happens.
Roo and Dory.
My goal next trip is to take more candid photos of Mom and Dad doing things together. Here they are peeling apple just laughing over stories as they chat away. I love watching them.
Gramma set up tents which were SO FUN! There was a girls tent and a boys tent and they would often be found playing in their little tents.
Man, I was THIIIIIIIIS close to up and cancelling our entire trip. I was so scared of everyone getting sick and traveling and I am SO GLAD that we decided to go. This trip was good for my soul and even better for my children. It felt so good to be home!
