This was our third year having Thanksgiving in Kansas. Having Thanksgiving with my grandparents and cousins has become one of our favorite traditions. We sure love them for having us each year and have such a great time together.
Kylie & Joey
We left for Kansas on Wednesday morning. It was a sunny beautiful drive the whole way and the boys did great. They read books, played with toys and napped the whole way there. Charlie asked "what's that?!" to just about everything and Tony and I had lots of time to talk. It was great!

That night I worked on our contribution to Thanksgiving dinner: a Banana cream and peanut butter banana cream pie--the easiest and best tasting pies I've ever made. Our other contribution was Charlie and Joey as entertainment for the weekend :) It was fun introducing the family to Joey and a year older Charlie! Charlie took a few minutes to warm up and then made himself right at home exploring and playing with the dogs. My dad's family are all dog lovers. My aunt has 3 dogs and Charlie was in heaven (Tony too). Charlie would chase them under the table, throw balls and give them hugs.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
