Thanksgiving in New York

Loren, Katelynne, Cody and myself flew to New York to spend Thanksgiving with the kids on the east coast. The visit was short but everyone was so glad to be together. Sarah, Joe and Zeke came from Ohio, Ashlie & Matt from North Carolina, then of course Matt, Jaime, Mya and Emily live in New York.
