For Thanksgiving we all piled into our van for an exciting trip to the southern Oregon coast! We visited my parents at their place for a few days. The drive there wasn't too bad...we ended up staying the night in a hotel. But the drive back was a bit torturous...more for me than anyone else. :) We really enjoyed spending time with my parents and seeing all of the new improvements on their house there.




Before we left Alia and I made turkey sugar cookies. She got to decorate them and really had a lot of fun. They were yummy, too!




Here's my dad with the yummy turkey! Can you see the stuffing bulging out of it? YUM YUM! Jason helped out by mashing the potatoes...and my mom made the rest of the yummy food. Pumpkin pie...hmm...




Before we left we took a jont to the beach to look for rocks. We all bundled up and made the trek. The kids loved walking on the beach and picking up the rocks. Elijah especially enjoyed running AWAY from us. :)





This is a park of a tree that washed up onto the beach. It was really neat...so we snapped a picture.





Our little family walking along the beach. Cute, aren't we?
