Thanksgiving in Missouri

We headed up to Missouri this year for Thanksgiving!  I will say that flying (and only a 50 minute flight) to St. Louis beats driving!   It allows us to have more time with family and less time with everyone sick of being in the car!  Thankful for airplanes!  We spent a day in St. Louis with Grandpa, Barb, Parker and Kaitlyn.  The girls LOVE their time with all of them...and are quick to tell Jason and I to leave them alone!  

After a day in St. Louis we drove over to Kansas City to celebrate with the entire family!  We stayed with Aunt Joyce and she had a HUGE surprise for the girls.  She had transformed their basement into a fairy princess dreamland!  The girls spent most of every moment trying on dresses, putting on jewelry and dancing.

Some of the wild dancing

A little dance time with Daddy!  Our girls LOVE to dance with him and he makes sure to make them feel like a princess.  What a gift!

Just a sneak peak at the amazing dress-up selection
Intense jewelry making with Aunt Joyce, she truly thought of everything.
We headed over to Aunt Sharon farm to see more family and had a wonderful time.  
Grandma Shirla, Grandpa Dennis and the grandkids.
Uncle Chris with Nolan and Hadley!  I am not sure what Nolan thought of the girls...but they think he is amazing and I am pretty sure Brynlee thinks he is her toy.
Another big highlight getting to be on Sharon's horse!  They laid on her and rubbed her and talked about her for days after!

We had a wonderful time and our only regret as always is that we don't live closer to be able to see everyone as much!  But, we are thankful to have such incredible family to love on us and our girls!
