What a Week!

Just tell me when to blow! (That's peanut butter frosting BTW!)

Rides on the 4-wheeler.

The cousins reading together, and crushing Papa!
Personality!!!!! (Laney Hooper)
You got me what for my birthday? (This after Papa told him he accidently got him Barbie Legos)

Really, it was quite a week! The kids and I left last Friday as soon as Claire was out of school for Gram and Poppy's. We celebrated Thanksgiving with Unkie and Staci, and Uncle Frank that weekend. Uncle Frank fried a turkey for our culinary pleasure, and all the fixings were set out. The kiddos were excited about this whole tradition, until they had to sit down and eat. Anyway, we also celebrated Landon's birthday with presents, "angel cake" (angel food) and ice cream. He hit the jackpot and was really excited about his "Big City Slider Maker" (as seen on TV!). We of course had those for dinner one night. We also made a trip to Abilene to the candy factory and played on the four wheeler while we were their house. Wednesday evening we went to Wichita to Nana and Papa's house. They had been in Missouri and brought Geoff back with them. We celebrated Thanksgiving with Ling, Hoopy, Lucy and Laney. Turkey hash was the main menu item, with mashed potatoes to boot! The kids played with their cousins the majority of the weekend, and enjoyed time at the Hooper house as well. Landon got to celebrate his birthday again, and had sliders...again! He was in heaven! We came home Sunday to face the daily grind again. At least until Christmas...
Thanks to everyone for the hospitality, food, gifts and cheer!
