Thanksgiving in Maryland!

I just realized that I forgot to post about our fabulous trip to Maryland for Thanksgiving!  Everything was wonderful.  Candice was a great hostess as always and Maryland was just absolutely beautiful.  Lily THOROUGHLY enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner to say the least.  She is an amazing eater and will eat anything and everything you put in front of her, just like her daddy.  She loved it! 

As you all know, Lil was supposed to be here on Thanksgiving Day last year, but decided she was waiting till all the leftovers ran out, so this was her first Thanksgiving.

Also, Hallelujah, Dave was back in the states this year to fry up a turkey right!  Last year, Dave was on deployment and we had a few issues with the turkey frying.  Nothing big, Brandon just dropped the turkey a foot above the hot grease because he couldn't find one of the pieces to the turkey fryer and then Mrs. Jerry almost fell in the fryer...seriously, like fell a foot away from the fryer.  Thankfully, Dave was back for it this year to take over and the peanut gallery stayed inside far FAR away from the fryer!  :)

The day after Thanksgiving, we decided to take a ride up to Hershey, PA (3 hrs away) to go to the Christmas in CandyLand up there.

That probably will never happen again.  First of all, omg, it was absolutely freezing.  I think it was 30 degrees or something like that.  Second of all, it wasn't NEARLY as amazing as it sounded on their website.  Now granted, I would love to visit Hershey again to go to the museum and to go to the Chocolate World (factory tour), but the park was not worth it at all.   The Santa was ok, but they have a better Santa set up at the Galleria.  Santa and "his reindeer" are almost a mile away from each other and this did not make for a happy southern girl when you have to walk from one side of the park to the other with a freezing cold baby.  No me gusta.

Anywho, Hershey wouldn't be THAT bad if you did it in the spring and had time to visit the other things around town, but forget the park.  It was pretty bad.
It was a wonderful visit though.  I LOVE IT when the kids are able to play together.  Lily just lights up when she is around other kids her age and she absolutely adores her cousins.  I love getting videos and pictures of them together.  These are just moments you can't get back. 
 Here is a video I love from the week there.  :)
