Thanksgiving Weekend

This year Daniel's cousin, Kristen, picked up the Thanksgiving dinner party since last year was her mother, Aunt Sharon's, final dinner. We left in the morning and headed to Pappy's house in New Jersey so we could take a break and feed Trafton some lunch. Then we got back in the car and drove up to New York with Pappy. Trafton was a wonderful traveling baby the whole way. He didn't sleep like we thought he would, but he didn't fuss at all either.

Then we spent the day relaxing at Pappy's house on Friday and at night Daniel and I went out to see our favorite band, Railroad Earth, play the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg. It might have been the best RRE show ever. They were really incredible and they played "Real Love." We have probably seen them close to or over 50 times, but only ever seen them play that song one time before. It was wonderful!

The feast was delicious!

The whole family

Trafton had a great time wandering around the outside of Pappy's house. The weather was beautiful and there were so many places to explore.

Of course we had to take some time to see Aunt Courtney's horse, Fire.

Trafton wasn't too interested in Harley (I think he's gotten too big for Trafton).

He's trying to tell Harley to stay away from the stick he found.

Railroad Earth

They encored with a Rolling Stones cover song.

After the show at the Sherman, Cabinet was playing an after party at the Sarah Street Grill just a few doors down.

A couple of songs into their performance, Railroad Earth's fiddle player, Tim Carbone sat in for a few tunes.

What a great night!
