Thanksgiving Road Trip

We made the trip back to Nebraska at Thanksgiving--it was a long haul which took us two days, but we made it safe and sound!  Marin is a great rider--she's easily entertained by chewing gum (nonstop) and watching shows on the DVD player.  Sloan is another story.  He slept for about 7 minutes of our 12 hour driving day and 3 minutes the next day.  :/

We did a little Black Friday shopping with the girls.  

Footy pjs for Hannah?  I forgot how giggly teenage girls can be!

We got to see my Grandma Ruthie on her 94th birthday!  She's an amazing woman.
Marin sang her a few songs including 'Happy Birthday' & 'Jesus Loves Me' and Grandma just beamed.  
 

Both of my grandmas are at the same retirement center, so it's easy to see both of them in the same day!  Marin just loves Grandma Lene.  She always gets to have a special treat when we visit--popcorn and ice cream!  

Marin got to 'feed the boys' in the Johnny Tractor which never disappoints!

This little kitty named Simone was a favorite.  She was a snuggly little cat that Marin really enjoyed.

There were some shenanigans on an exercise ball.

There were lots of goofy cousin pictures.  

A few monkey-fingers were exchanged between these two Cumberland monkeys!

A little dancing and running around with cousins at Happy Hollow in Omaha.

Snuggles with Nana.

We celebrated Thanksgiving with the Sonderman clan in Omaha.  Grandma Dorothy loved to see all of the little ones running around having fun together!  It's always so fun to catch up with Jason's cousins, aunts & uncles!  

We left Nebraska on the Saturday after Thanksgiving so we wouldn't be stuck in lots of traffic and we made it all the way in one day--15 hours!
We enjoyed seeing everyone and certainly have so much to be thankful for!
