As with all Thanksgivings we have much to be grateful for this year. In addition to our many blessings, Steven gets regular holiday time off and we have family within a short traveling distance. It's so wonderful.
We headed to Kansas City on Wednesday evening and didn't have to return until Sunday night. Four days with their cousins was a dream for the Ballard kiddos. We ate, played tons of games, ate some more, played at parks, ran tons outside with our "adopted" dog, then came back and ate even more. We also had the chance to drive through an amazing park with more Christmas lights and exhibits then I've seen in my entire life time. It was truly beautiful and the kids went crazy for it. On Saturday we dropped by the theatre and watched Disney's "Tangled", which was adorable and is now my favorite Disney show. It was a long weekend filled with family, food, and fun. What more could you ask for!
