We were crazy enough to make the 14 hour drive from Raleigh to St. Louis to visit my older brother and his family who just moved there from Oklahoma. My parents, sister, and grandma met us there. To break of the drive we stayed at a hotel and had a swimming party- a little bribery goes a long way...
Carrie was the life of the party in the eyes of the kids. She taught them how to play her ukulele (of course after an AMAZING performance herself- TALENT!!!)
Carrie's moto...
She even took naps with my kids...
As you can see Ashlyn idolizes her aunt, thus the matching clothes.
And is the baby whisperer...
And is the baby whisperer...
Ashlyn never complained when Carrie did her hair- you can see why...
And phase 10 got played endlessly, especially by Morgan and Dylan...
And 5 month old baby Meg was a MAJOR hit with my kids. They argued over who got to hold her. Corbin would have taken her home if he could have...
Then we went down town to go to the Gateway Arch...
We enjoyed the museum and learned a lot...
Waiting to go up in the arch...
In our pods...
All of us at the top...
Looking at the city below on one side and the river and barges on the other...
And of course our 14 hour drive home we had to spice it up with some treats...
Wishing you had a wonderful and meaningful Thanksgiving! We are so grateful we had the chance to see family! (and much, much more of course)

How fun! I always wanted to be an Aunt before I was a mom, so I could be a super cool aunt just like your sister. I'm glad you guys had a great holiday.
