This year we went to Indiana to have Thanksgiving with my mom's family. My mom's family is so large that for a holiday like this we are too big to fit in someone's house, so like every year for the last I don't know how many years we were in a church fellowship hall, this time my aunt's church. Had great food, the little kids had fun with all the toys and the big kids played football outside. The funnest part of the Thanksgiving getaway was that we got to stay at a hotel, but the weird part is that it was in our hometown. I say weird because usually when we go to Indiana we stay with family, well this time because it was a holiday, our extended family had family staying with them and because our immediate family is large now (it was me and my family, my sister and her family and mom and dad, 10 total) we didn't really have anywhere to stay, so we decided to get a suite at the Essenhaus Inn, which has been there all through my growing up years and a so VERY touristy place that we never thought we'd stay there...but this time we did...and it was so fun!! The suite was awesome, it was actually three separate rooms. It had a bedroom then a living room with a kitchenette and then another bedroom. And three bathrooms, yes three!! We stayed there on Thanksgiving night and my brother Todd and his family came to hang out with us. They had a full size indoor pool, a kiddie pool and a hot tub...soooo nice. Like I said it felt weird at first but then we got over it! HAHA! I can't believe it but I hardly took any pictures at all the whole weekend, but here are some cute pictures of Kolton (my nephew) and Karina laying on the bed in the hotel...

About three years ago we started going there for my family's Christmas. Its so nice there and yes it does feel a little weird but the pools are great aren't they? Glad you guys had fun and wish we could have seen you guys.
Oh, how fun, Carla!I know what you mean about getting to stay in a hotel - like a little mini vacation. 3 bathrooms, whoa.
Your little one reminds me of mine in some of these pictures - it must be those huge brown eyes and gorgeous dark curly hair.
