Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow, time sure has flown and we have been very busy.  This Thanksgiving we were blessed to spend a long weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The kids had fun riding their tractors, playing on the play set and taking walks with Grandpa.  We had our Thanksgiving Dinner at Aunt Leslie and Uncle Steve's house the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  The boys made some great turkeys that were used as decorations for the table.
While waiting for dinner, Benny, Timmy, Brad, Uncle Steve, Aunt Leslie, Aunt Jill and Grandpa went to visit the local fire station (Uncle Steve is a volunteer fire fighter!).  On the way back from the fire station they stopped at a park.

Here is Timmy pushing Aunt Jenny and Benny on the merry-go-round.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Brad had the day off and we were planning a quiet meal at home. My how plans can change. Around 10am Thanksgiving day some church friends of ours (who happen to live in our development) invited us over to their house for dinner. Luckily I had not started our meal yet. I did however make bread so we had to wait for that to be done and then we rushed over there. The meal and company were wonderful. Benny had a great time playing with their girls. Especially when they brought out their Thomas Trains. It was nice to be among friends for the holiday. It was especially nice because Brad took the next 3 days off and we did some wonderful things as a family.

Hansome Benny ready for church. He did better this time. He didn't fall asleep during the sermon.

Daddy taking Benny for a ride in one of Grandpa's wagons. Last time Benny was more interested in pushing the wagon. This time I think he liked riding in it.


Here is Benny chasing one of Grandma and Grandpa's cats.

Brad was able to get the week after Thanksgiving off this year so we decided to go back to visit my family in Illinois. It was very cold there, and it only rained about one day. Benny had fun running around outside chasing the cats. Grandpa had put away his big tractor for the year, but Benny helped him drive his little tractor. We had a great meal at my sister and brother-in-law's house the Friday after Thanksgiving. We even went and saw Christmas lights. We squeezed in a short trip to Kentucky to see my Aunt Connie and Uncle Tim as well as my cousins and their significant others. It was nice to spend time with family and let Benny get to know his relatives.
