Thanksgiving

So this post is a little late considering that it is officially December but better late than never right! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year and have so much to be thankful for. For the first time ever we actually spent thanksgiving in Kansas City and Ryan’s family came down to celebrate. It was fun to get to host everyone at our house and the weather was amazing! Jenny helped me cook so the only big thing I was really in charge of was the turkey which we kind of failed at lol. Of course you shouldn’t expect much for your first time right :). For some reason our turkey took much longer than expected to cook so it wasn’t even ready for lunch which was a bummer but we had plenty for turkey sandwiches at dinner. Next time we know better to have it done early than late. The boys loved getting to play with their cousins and we got to spend quite a bit of time outside on Thursday since it was so nice and got some good pictures. We even got a picture of Ryan’s parents with all the grandkids which might have been a first ever.

Friday we played indoors and then headed down to the plaza to walk around and see all the lights which the kids loved. Saturday morning we had coffee and donuts with Derek and Jenny before they headed back up to Iowa and we had some chill time before my family headed down on Sunday. My cousin organized a fun outing to the Chiefs game so my aunt Renae and cousin Rachel headed up from Oklahoma, my cousin Megan and husband headed down from Des Moines and then both my sisters came down as well. My parents got stuck with watching all the kids :). It was wonderful football weather for being the end of November and although the Chiefs didn’t win we had a great time catching up with everyone. It has been way too long since I’ve seen those girls. Overall it was a wonderful weekend and we were sad to see it end.
