Thanksgiving Rundown

We just returned from completing our 11 hour circle tour of southeast, central, and northeast Nebraska. We spent Wednesday through Saturday with K's folks, including Thanksgiving at her aunt's and uncle's. Kenson enjoyed singing with Uncle Jared and decorating a few turkey cookies as well as his first taste of turkey.

Uncle Jared rescued Kenson from the monotony of making turkeys; I'm not exactly sure what this was other than "let Kenson do whatever he wants."

We took the turkeys we crafted from food boxes to give to Grandma, Grandpa, and Grandma 2. On Friday, after we gave all of our turkeys away, Grandma 2 came to visit. As soon as she walked in the door, Kenson said "Where's your turkey? At home?" Not even a hello, how ya doing.


Kenson also enjoyed my cousin's very pregnant Yorkshire terrier, Molly who has apparently been gallavanting around with a Boston terrier. We were hoping for a Thanksgiving miracle, well, because we're weird and wouldn't having puppies while you were enjoying Thanksgiving with your family be memorable, especially for a first Thanksgiving? But alas, Molly waited until we left. She is now a 3 puppy Mama. (And I'm guessing those puppies will be available so if you're wanting a little house dog, I'll hook you up!)


Saturday, we headed to D's grandma's where we enjoyed supper, a good night's rest, and then her normal treat, Village Inn. Gotta get her great grandson some pancakes...and syrup. When the waitress asked him what he was going to have, he quickly told her "Syrup." That's really how he is with breakfast items. Oatmeal, eggs, pancakes...it's gotta have syrup. We ordered him chocolate chip pancakes which he had had on another trip but for some reason, this time, the chocolate syrup was not okay. He wanted the maple. And given our traveling adventures and how close we were to melt down, we let him. Can you say sugar overload? Beats a screaming crying child in the middle of a crowded resturant.


Anyway, we're home now and thankful for the family we were able to visit.

Sounds like a long busy Thanksgiving break - glad you had a good time with family. For future reference, most breakfast-type restaurants have sugar-free syrup. Kaylen could never tell the difference - looks the same, and must taste similar.
