US Thanksgiving travel

For our dear Canadian readers: US Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday of November. We went to visit Linden's and Jemma's paternal side of the extended family in Rhode Island for the holiday. It was also our last chance to fly free with both girls (as of 21 December, Linden will no longer qualify as a "lap baby"). The flights were relatively pain-free, although things did get a little sticky when Linden wanted to lie on Jemma who was on Lisa's lap






There was also the never-ending 10 minutes when Linden decided she wanted her paternal lap, not her maternal lap - but wasn't able to do the switch because we were in different rows and the plane was taxi-ing around the runway.

Linden still kept up her habit of standing while eating (and preferably standing on something potentially unstable):
