Family Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving, we journeyed to New Jersey to be with the Stones.

Emerson went on his first plane ride. Mom and Dad learned that going through security with a baby and a dog (Brisquette traveled in style in her bright yellow carrier, below) is no easy feat.


Grandma Lori couldn't get enough. Eric is happy to be an uncle.


The Thanksgiving table, before the feast.


We created a Stone family first: a "mashed potato bar." The suggested recipes were named for the Republican presidential candidates.


Proud Grandpa.


Emerson's other Grandpa, Carl, visited from California to take part in Emerson's baby blessing.



Eric made sure Brisquette didn't feel left out while everyone was admiring the baby.


Emerson is Grandma Stone's 12th great-grandchild.


We also had a chance to do a little sightseeing. This picture is from a small, overgrown cemetery near the Stones' house, with graves dating back to the 1800s. Spooky!
