This year we traveled to Madison, Wisconsin to spend Thanksgiving with Jason's family. All of his siblings, their spouses, and children were able to come so it made for a fun-filled weekend. Jackson found immense joy in our hotel bathroom. He loves to unroll rolls of toilet paper. He is not a good traveler so Jason and I found ourselves up at 12:45 a.m. the Friday after Thanksgiving roaming the hotel halls and winding up downstairs in the lobby. Jackson made friends with the hotel clerk working the graveyard shift. Jackson even helped him behind the desk find his cleaning products and help assist customers. About 3 a.m., Jason and I decided to go for a drive in hopes to get Jackson to fall asleep and let me do a little Black Friday shopping. Well, the drive worked. Jackson fell asleep - finally - and I spent the next few hours shopping with my cute mother-in-law Sally. We had a blast! Friday we had family pictures (Jackson screamed the whole time), ate more food, and enjoyed family time. Friday night Jackson slept better, though we were up bright and early again to assist the hotel clerk with his duties. That clerk deserves a gold star for his kindness and patience with us. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are so thankful for all of our many blessings.
