Just Realized!

So I just realized that I never blogged about our Thanksgiving trip to New Jersey. Normally, I would just move on and blog about my wonderful potty training days but . . . the trip was a lot of fun and the boys had a blast at the beach so . . . here are some pictures of our trip.

Just a little background first. Unlike most families who rotate spending Thanksgiving and Christmas with the different sides of the family, we always spend Thanksgiving with Jesse's family and always spend Christmas with my family. Therefore, it is really important to us to try to see the whole Chupp clan for Thanksgiving. So, Jesse put in a lot of time and effort putting together the trip this year to Seaside Park, NJ. He rented a house big enough for us all to stay in and it was right next to the beach. The temperature was about 40 most of the time we were there so it wasn't too cold to at least spend time looking for shells and throwing them in the ocean.

This is my favorite picture from the trip . . .

Although it took a while to get them to this point. At first, they tried running away as fast as they could.

Great pictures!! I love the one of the boys looking at the ocean. There's just something so sweet about those back pictures. I think it's because it's their better side! ;-)

Great pictures! John couldn't believe how big the boys are. We remember holding them as little babies. Happy early Birthday.
