Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we traveled to St. Louis to be with Grammy and Poppa, Uncle Ben and Aunt Erin, and Great Grandma. We also got to see the Dalbey Family and Emma was able to play with Preston. It was a wonderful time with family and Emma enjoyed helping. She helped Poppa with dishes and helped Grammy with baking Julekaga and cookies. It was so fun to share so many traditions with Emma and new experiences. She was just wonderful in the car and while we were there. Thanks for a wonderful visit, Grammy and Poppa!

Helping Poppa wash the dishes. I can only hope she enjoys it this much in a few years!
