This past Thanksgiving we spent the long-weekend in Oklahoma City with Paul's brother Peter and his family.

It would be our first time meeting Baby Iylee, not yet 4 weeks old at the time of our visit. She was a doll!

Abby holding her newest cousin.  Iylee is a champion sleeper.

Abby and Annette huddled in Annette's room.  These two spent hour upon hours playing on their own (Kayleigh joined them occasionally).

Kayleigh struggling to throw a ball quick enough for the overly anxious Ayla.

The girls gathering ingredients (pond scum) for a potion.

Grandma mixed a batch of her special hot cocoa.  Abby and Annette both were tremendously helpful.



And during down-times, the girls watched movies on the iPads...


...and we cuddled with the kitty cats.  Jezebel was the most needy of a lap.

On the last day, we finally let Kayleigh hold Iylee for a brief time.  She was thrilled!

Note: Hickory smoked turkeys are delicious!
