Thanksgiving in KS - Thursday

It's THANKSGIVING DAY!!!!  Keeping with tradition, we spent Thanksgiving Day with family at Uncle LH and Aunt Thais's house.  When we got married, Heidi was maybe 5 years old?  Now she's a senior in HS and spent the morning playing baseball with our 4 year old (who absolutely adores her!)

I think Barrett's thinking was more in line with mine....."IT'S COLD!!!!"  The high today was 32 degrees...so we didn't stay outside for very long.

The temperature in LH's garage is a different story.  He has his detached garage so well insulated that even though it was 11 degrees outside...it was still a balmy 62 inside the garage!  He let the boys spend some time "going for a drive" (pretend) in his Corvette.

Before too long we headed back inside to snack (we always seem to snack most of the day...at least until it's time for the big feast).  Brody and Kelly were having a race to see who could eat all the M&M's out of the snack mix.

 

I'm definitely not a food photographer...but don't these pies look yummy?!?!

Grandma asked for a kiss...

and Grandpa gave some smart remark instead...

After we finished cleaning up from the feast, I went downstairs to find Brody sitting on the couch by Heidi (surprise, surprise).  Thais said that she'd been sitting by Heidi and Brody asked her to move over because he couldn't fit between Thais and Heidi and he needed to sit by Heidi!  (Did I mention this morning Brody ate breakfast, got dressed, and then sat outside Heidi's door waiting for her to get up and get dressed?  He and Barrett sat there Indian style just staring at the door for the longest time.  It was hilarious!)

Before bed Mark read a few books to the boys.  What a great way to end a fun day!
