We enjoyed several Thanksgivings starting with the school
versions. Elizabeth had a nice lunch at
her school that Mom and Dad got to attend.
She wowed the other parents with all of the vegetables that she
ate. It was her kind of meal! Ben’s class had a picnic and small program
the next week. Dad was out of town, but
Mom took Subway and enjoyed the singing and performance before enjoying a
classroom picnic with the other classmates.
It was so fun to see how hard the kiddos had worked on their songs and
routines. The parents even got to
participate in one of the songs! Mom’s
family celebrated before Thanksgiving.
The kids enjoyed a “country” Thanksgiving complete with learning to rope
and driving a tractor! Ben also learned
to jump rope and Elizabeth enjoyed all of the animals. It was a great time to be together. On “real” Thanksgiving we headed up to
Lawrence to visit Grandpa Larry, Grandma Elaine and Uncle Adam. The kids brought supplies to make a fruit
turkey and enjoyed decorating Grandma’s tree.
We had another great dinner and even enjoyed homemade farm rolls –
yum!! We had a sweet visit in Kansas and
came home Friday afternoon to have some time at home during the weekend to
start decorating and enjoy a couple of days off at our house. The kids enjoyed all of the celebrations and
travels and eagerly await being together at Christmas time again!
