That's what my SIL and I call Thanksgiving. It's always a Korean Thanksgiving for the Langley family and we have the best time! This year instead of everyone traveling to NC, we all headed up to Cleveland, OH. It's about a 12 hr drive and I was nervous about how the kids would do. My in-laws and the 4 of us loaded up a rented van and hit the road at 4:30 on Tue afternoon. Brian was driving and we pushed through the night and arrived at 4:30am! The kids slept most of the way and were wonderful! We stayed at cousin Kevin and Trish's house and B was so excited to see his cousins Alyssa and Bailey (we hadn't seen them in 2 years!). Helen, Anna and Mia stayed there as well, so both boys were having a great time with the girls. Our cousins Mike, Young Hwan, and Julie and her boys Cooper (hes only 2 weeks younger than B!) and Cannon (2yrs) came over for lunch and some playtime. It was so awesome to see all of the cousins together!
Thanksgiving day, we headed over to Emo Mona's house for TONS of food! We had some traditional food and lots of Korean food. We ate and ate and ate...it was so nice to have some real Korean food! C ate anything we put in front of him...he'll be eating the spicy kimchee soon! The girls all hung around and played with the kids and spent some good time talking, while the boys were downstairs watching football and playing with some kids (of course I had to slip down there to catch some FB too :). Altogether there were about 25 people, including kids. This was the smallest group I think we've ever had! There's usually at least 20 more people (2yrs ago there were 60 of us at the beach!).
Friday morning we all packed up and headed home. We stopped in Akron to meet up with Uncle Jerry, Aunt Sandy, Emo June and Tommy. We had breakfast at cracker barrel and it was SO nice seeing them! Afterwards we hit the road! We stopped at Tamarack (the best of WV haha!) and walked around and ate dinner (we traditionally stop here on our trips to Ohio). The boys were wonderful again...I couldn't believe it! We made it home around 11:45pm and the boys transferred right to their beds and kept on sleeping. I couldn't imagine our trip going any better. It was wonderful spending time with our family :)
