Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we decided to do the long drive to Texas. We drove to Kansas on Friday when Jeff got off work (got there at 1 AM), drove to Texas on Monday, drove back to Kansas the Friday after Thanksgiving, and drove home on Sunday. We were all done with being in the car by the time we got home. The kids actually did pretty good, and we all had lots of fun.

On a side note, Alyssa got her second tooth the Tuesday we were in Texas, so she wasn't the most pleasant baby in the world. She did however sleep through the night every night but the first 3 while we were gone!!!

They both were awake A LOT in the car, but every now and then the kids took a nap.
Dallin had fun riding Great Grandpa's bike. Jeff had fun too...:)

The kids had a blast playing with balloons at Grandpa's new house.
We went to a couple of parks while we were there. It was a little too hot and humid :)
On the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, 30 of my family members went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant!! It was yummy and fun to see everyone. We had a whole room for the family! Poor Uncle Ryan helped keep Dallin in control.
Then we took some family pictures.

On Thanksgiving all the men went and played golf on the golf course my dad's cousin owns. Then we joined them and had dinner at the cottage there. Before dinner was ready we took the kids out. Dallin got to hit a few balls, but his favorite thing to do was DRIVE the golf cart. He could even drive by himself if he stood up.
After the yummy dinner and before the big Texas and A&M game, we had our own bonfire. It was actually pretty chilly for Texas Thanksgiving night.
When we went back to Kansas, Jeff's sister and her family were there. Dallin loves playing with Kendra, and although they are loud, they get along great! Alyssa and Ella are so cute together too!
