California Turkey!

This year, we ventured down to San Jose for a fun Thanksgiving. It was really only a 48 hour trip, but we packed alot into it! We stayed with my cousin Aditi and her family, and Sonia and her cousin Ananya who is exactly the same age had their first sleepover. Neal started to feel left out since he didn't get to play with the "big kids" all that much, but he had lots of fun with his sweet little cousin Amisha.

 

 

We started with a VERY early morning flight...usually not a bad idea since the kids are terrific flyers, but this turned out to be a bad idea. A 4am wake up, no naps and hyper kids - ahhh, the holidays. We started out by going to the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum. Our intent was to wear out the kids, but there was so much fun stuff to do - that didn't really work. Next we went to my Dodamma's house for a delicious lunch and spent the day with her and Mohan Uncle. Then we headed to Aditi's house to settle in. It was so great to see the kids get to spend time with their cousins and become inseparable. It was amazing! Thanksgiving was at the Mohan casa in Cupertino, which brought many friends and family (many of whom I hadn't seen in years). And the weather was amazing - I think it was near 70 degrees, a nice change from rainy Seattle!

 

 

 This photo pretty much sums up how exhausted the kids were after thier fun filled visit to CA! (though truthfully, this was taken right in the middle of the Thanksgiving Day festivities!)
