Recap of Thanksgiving

Here's a recap of our time in Kansas over Thanksgiving. We were especially thankful that neither of the boys got sick (well at least not 'til the end) while we were there. It seems like in the past when we go on trips, one of them has gotten sick; like strep or hand-foot-mouth disease-type sick. :( 

The boys had fun playing with cousins...

   

With Grandma (and Grandpa too)...

And friends...

I also got to catch up w/ old college friends...

Even the "grand-dogs" had fun...

We had a good time over all. And our car trip went off w/ out a hitch. Traveling 8+ hours in a Volvo station wagon with 2 kiddos and a dog went better than I had played out in my head. I guess if you expect the worse, then it can only look up from there! :)

Breeson had been anticipating going to his grandparents house for several weeks prior to Thanksgiving. So it was fun building it up. He would count down every week until the week of he realized, "there's not even 1 week left?!". He always has so much fun on my parents "farm". There's go carts, big tree house w/ sandbox, and lots of cousins to play with. Besides being spoiled by Grandparents too. We were there for almost a week & a half, so he got plenty of play time in.

We got to see a lot of family on this trip (again, it helps when your kids aren't sick!). So we a had a cousin get-together, where there were around 40 of us: cousins, spouses and kiddos. And we were still missing a lot of people! Then on my dad's side of the family we played a never ending game of Phase 10. Won't make that mistake again. But the food was delish so we ate to our hears, and stomachs content.

Unfortunately we don't get to go back at Christmas. But we always look forward to going to Kansas when we can.
