Thanksgiving 2016

The holidays were a little easier this year, now that we live in Kansas. We aren't used to loading up both kids (neither of whom enjoy long car rides) so it was still a little stressful but probably less stressful than a plane ride. Probably. 

Thanksgiving week started with a fun class the Prairie Park Nature Center. 

The teacher of the Wild Explorers class has pet turkeys and brought in two to meet the kids! It was a very busy class, complete with a local news team. Cedric wasn't as shy around the tom as I thought he'd be. After the most of the kids went to start the craft Cedric hung back to have some one on one time with the turkey. 


I did eventually get him to do the craft :)


This year it was the Podany's turn to have Thanksgiving so we headed to Leawood for the day. Clara slept the way there and cried the full hour on the way home. Cedric enjoyed the iPad and didn't nap all day. Needless to say, the day after Thanksgiving was a bit of a mess. 


Clara wore her brother's pants (because they were so cute the first time around) and a new shirt. She then had an outfit change to a cute dress that her Grandma bought her. She is cute in anything :). I had a bow but it looks like I never put it on. I'm not doing well with the girly accessories. 


It seems most of my photos focused on it being Clara's first Thanksgiving. Cedric did a lot of running around and playing. It's easier to photograph a baby that just sits and looks at you. Cedric isn't into smiling nicely for the camera. 

So here is Clara and Daddy


Clara and Grandma


Clara and the turkey

 Clara and Great - Grandma, Cedric and Anne, Cedric may get cropped out of this one. 



And Clara and Mommy back at home



I didn't get a photo of Clara and Chris but he did hold her for a while and they watched TV together. We had a relaxing day but had to leave early as there was a winter storm headed our way. We made it home before the roads got icy but Bob did have to stay home from work on Friday. Good for Mommy as the kids were not in a happy mood.
