Ok, a little back up here to thanksgiving of last year. We packed up and headed to great aunt H's apartment in ny. This year, my mom's whole family came for dinner so there were going to be a lot more people. And I told my mom that she could announce that I was pregnant! Which she was more than happy to do, She had known since about 6 weeks because she had come to visit and I was throwing up everywhere, so we had told her.
Anywho, our journey was fraught with disaster. Only an hour into our drive big guy had mercifully fallen asleep but only to be awakened when I had to stop because I was getting a speeding ticket! Then he was awake and asked every five minutes if we were going to see gmom dino. It was a long car ride... made even longer because we got caught in two huge traffic jams. The same ride the year before took twice as long, Four hours. With a 3 year old. Sigh. They ate appetizers without us but we finally made it!
Everyone except big guy ate and enjoyed their time together. big guy watched tv on the giant flatscreen. We left shortly after dinner to go to our swanky hotel. We slept in luxury once again. The next morning we met with gmom dino and pop pop at great aunt H's apartment for bagels and coffee. Following lots of hugs, we went to the big toys r us and did some pre-x-mas shopping, Then we stopped to have lunch with the rest of my mom's family at an italian restaurant. we had quite the feast but then big guy lost his noodle, so left for home, but of course stopped to get some real nyc bagels, which we ate for dinner!
