Thanksgiving

We had so much fun traveling back to Nebraska for Thanksgiving! We got to see lots of family, the kids traveled really well (thanks to Diego), and Ryker fell in love. We spent Thursday at the lakehouse eating tons of delicious food and playing games. Friday we traveled to Hastings to see Waid play basketball. (and of couse we squeezed in some swimming!) Saturday was more swimming and another Hastings College basketball game before traveling back to Pop's and Mimi's again. Waid played awesome! We are so proud of him and really enjoy watching him play! Sunday we rested up before making the trip back to Denver.

Ryker fell in love with Leslie. I've never seen him behave the way he did with her. He went right up to her and hugged her and wouldn't let go. He hasn't seen her for about a year so he must have been stunned by her beauty. It was so cute the way he kept going back to her throughout the day! I tried to capture a picture of him smooching her, but after about 20 attempts became frustrated. Mal captured the only picture of him actually kissing her, but I think the rest are super cute, also, and tell the story of his first crush.

My one regret of the weekend: no family picture!
