The Beckner Family made the loong trip to Missouri for the Thanksgiving Holidays...and let's just say I am thankful that we made it there and back safely and I am thankful for getting to borrow a DVD player and for books on tape!!!
We stopped off in St. Louis first to see Grandpa, Barb, Parker and Kaitlyn and the amazing St. Louis ZOO. We had a great time...even if it was really cold! So Thankful that Barb stayed back to babysit little Bryn!
Had to climb on the beetle...I am thankful that it was not real!
We then, drove over to Kansas City to see lots more family! Uncle Chris and Aunt Andrea came up from Texas...Brynlee loved Uncle Chris...Thankful for an Uncle who will be a wonderful daddy....soon :)!
Over at Great Grandma Baker and Dale's house...Hadley held their cat hostage...she loved it...I am just thankful that the cat did not claw her way out of that hold!
Traveling with little ones is really hard because they miss naps, go to bed late and are just exhausted...so Thankful that Reese got in a little nap one day...she was passed out!
Uncle Dale and Cameron showed us their chickens and the girls loved them...poor chickens were running wild to get away from these little redheads...I am so Thankful that we got to leave the chicken there! :)
The girls and Great Grandma Baker...so Thankful for this lady!
Great Grandma love
I could have taken this picture 3-5 times a day...every day. These two loved sitting at the bar watching Aunt Joyce cook up so many delicious meals. So thankful for Joyce and Mike who hosted our family of 5 and in Jason's words...we ate like Kings...Joyce is a fabulous cook!
See that grin...she is saying how Thankful she is that she started crawling!!!
And...when crawling happens...it opens a whole lot of other things...like trying to get electrical sockets...I told her "no" and she just looked at me and grinned! Thankful for sweet smiles!
Never fear...big sister to the rescue...So thankful that Hadley problem-solved for me...she stood in front of the outlet!
Trying to get a family picture...Reese was not in the mood...that is life with a 4 year old going on 14! I still love this picture...Thankful for this family!
Brynlee playing with Anna and Katie...she is so thankful for them...so are we! It is so nice to have the older kids really loving on and playing with our girls.
Hadley and Reese in heaven with Aunt Joyce! Hadley would have let Aunt Joyce hold her all week if she could have! Once again...so thankful for family who loves on our girls!
The girls with Great Grandma Beckner...I took so many pictures of these 4 together...and seriously this is the best I got! The girls loved seeing Grandma and we are so Thankful for her!
Reese and Hadley with Grandpa, Barb and Kaitlyn. The girls were so excited to stay at Grandpa's house our first and last night! We are more than grateful for our wonderful hosts...and our 4 babysitters! (we wish you lived closer)
The girls with Annie and Chris...we decided to let them have a lot of quality time with the girls to prepare them for their new addition....so excited for them...this summer the girls will have a new cousin! So Thankful for Annie and Chris!
The trip would not have been near as entertaining without Parker and Kaitlyn's dog, Patches! Reese carried him around everywhere...Thankful that he survived, Hadley chased him everywhere...Thankful she survived, and Brynlee just watched him and grinned...Thankful for that!
Love from Grandpa...thankful for his granddaughters
The girls, so thankful for their best buddies, Parker and Kaitlyn!
We had a great trip...we did not get to see all of our family...but we are so thankful for each and every family member and friend that God has put in our lives! Hopefully we can all remember to be thankful 365 days a year...not just one!
