Thanksgiving in Bend, Oregon

We had a fun time visiting Aunt Janet, Uncle Keith, Lexi and Logan in Oregon this Thanksgiving. Aunt Judy, Uncle Bob, Hunter, Paul, Grandma Illeman, my parents, and my brother were all able to fly out too. This was Nate's first trip on a plane and it went pretty smoothly....only one crying session landing in Portland. Overall, Nate loved all of the action and adventure.

Nate napped for much of the flight. I think it was that loud... SHHHHHHH from the plane.
