We went to DC again this year to spend Thanksgiving with Steve's Aunt Gwen, Uncle Brooks, and cousin Nikki. Sara, Bob, and Duncan came this year along with Steve's mom which made things even more fun!!
Here are just 27 of the reasons why we had so much fun...
#1 Toys!!
Aunt Gwen has the best toys according to Cody! And he got right to work playing with them as soon as we got there.
#2 Yummy food 24-7.
We caught Kylee in the pantry more than once!
#3 Hanging out with Uncle Wacko
#4 Using the leaf blower!!
#5 Making a fire in the backyard
#6 Hanging out by the fire
with Sara and Bob and Duncan
#7 S'mores!!
#8 Projects!
Cody's Gingerbread Village looked pretty awesome.
#9 Candy!!
I wonder if spilling the candy from the gingerbread houses was an accident or if it was her way of stuffing as much as she could in her mouth before anybody noticed. This girl has no shame when it comes to eating sugary treats off the floor--just look at that smile...it screams "sugar high!" What a funny little candy monster.
#10 Playing with the vacuum.
That is the nice way of saying Kylee and Cody made a big mess with the candy!
#11 Secret Ingredients!
Well, it's really no secret that there is sour cream in my Sour Cream Apple pie recipe.
See Kylee in the background? Yep, she's eating candy. I guess we didn't hide it well enough because now that I am looking back on all of our pictures I can see Kylee in the background eating candy in quite a few of them!!
#12 Cooking Lessons
Sara and I got a lesson on making Whipped Cream and I showed Gwen how to make our favorite Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.
#13 Sour Cream Apple Pie!!
#14 Going all out for a fancy Thanksgiving meal!
#15 watching a 3D movie in style
#16 More projects!
Cody liked making chocolate covered pretzels with Grandma Tammy too. The only thing missing in this picture is Kylee in the background licking the frosting.
#17 Backyard Zoo
Once again the kids loved watching all of the animals that come to visit and eat a treat: cardinals, blue jays, raccoons, squirrels, and cats.
#18 Touring the Pentagon
#19 Being Proud to be an American!
#20 Wearing Cheetah Girl aprons!
#21 Having fun with Nikki.
She told us our horoscopes and hosted dance parties (which Kylee is a big fan of now)
#22 Drinking fresh strawberry lemonade (thanks Steve!)
#23 Jumping in the leaves
#24 Sitting by the leaves, but not getting too close.
#25 Belly-flopping into the leaves.
#26 Hurdling the leaves (Wow Bob!)
#27 And taking family pictures in the leaves.
Thanks Reese's for a really fun weekend! You guys are always so fun to be with!

Wow-it looks like you guys had an amazing Thanksgiving!!Happy Holidays to all of you!!!
That looks SO fun! I would love to go to DC. I used to want to go to see all the sites but now I want to go to Aunt Gwen and Uncle Wacko's house!
I went to comment, but seeing my name threw me off. I thought, "I haven't seen this post, have I?" I was convinced for a second that I really am losing my precious little mind.
How fun! I've never been to DC, but it looks to me like it was more the people who are there that made the weekend so much fun. Cute pics too.
I am going to have to checkout C's blog for your apple pie recipe...seems like I remember it being there.
