Thanksgiving on Balsam

For the Thanksgiving holiday we traveled up to Balsam, North Carolina to John's aunt and uncle's mountain house. We had a fantastic time spending time with John's family. Rebecca loved playing with her cousins, especially Greer who is not quite a year older than her. Here are some of the highlights of Rebecca's trip:

playing with cousin Ann's old toys,

watching the big girls draw (Gardnier, Lucy, and Caroline),

drawing by herself,

hula hooping with Caroline,

hula hooping with Greer,

playing games with her Aunt Amy and the cousins,

(Actually, Rebecca was more interested in sticking her finger up her nose during the game and of course John had to get a picture of it.)

and celebrating Aunt Karen's birthday.

Then Rebecca realized that the birthday cake was not for her and we were not singing Happy Birthday to her, so she started to cry and poke out her bottom lip like only she can. So, we relit the candle and sang Happy Birthday to Rebecca.

This is what Greer thought of that, until we lit the candle for her, too.

The kids then exchanged presents.

Rebecca got a baby doll that she loves.

It was a great trip and a wonderful Thanksgiving spent with family.
