Thanksgiving Kansas-style

This year we had Nimz Thanksgiving (my family switches the holidays every year which is a great plan because we always know where we are going!) This was Lincoln's first road trip and he did great for the 7 hour car ride. He slept most of the way except to eat once in Gunthrie, OK but once we got to Sandy and Kevin's (at 3 am) he was wide AWAKE all night. Oh well, Shane and I got to sleep the next night.



Lincoln got loads of attention with lots of cuddling. I think he is going through withdrawals now that we are back at home and not holding him 24/7!



Miss Em got to hold Lincoln first thing in the morning....check out her morning hair, very cute!

Great Grandma Bostick meets her newest grandson

Aunt Shannon and Uncle Dustin got in their time with him

Another of Em and Lincoln....holding Lincoln was a bride we used to get her to shower or take her medicine...seemed to work!

We had a mini photo shoot with the family by the pond. I had wanted to take Shane and I's Christmas card picture but I am not too pleased with what I got. We also took a few whole family pictures, which I think turned out better.

Happy Boy!
We played Chickenfoot one night and Lincoln was talking and laughing with Aunt Pam....it was pretty cute!
On Friday, we ventured out to Wakeneey, KS to visit the other set of great grandparents (Kevin's parents). Grandma Nimz was pretty smitten by Lincoln and I think he felt the same way about her.
4 generations of Nimz....Lincoln can get a glimpse to what he will look like in the years to come!
On our way home, we stopped in Wichita to see Dustin and Shannon's new house and got to visit with Todd (one of Shane's college buddies) and his wife Kim. (Sorry Kim no pictures with you...guess you guys will need to come to TX!)

Well that was our Thanksgiving, pretty relaxing with lots of family. Lincoln did great with the change and now we are getting back to "normal".

  2. My cousins, aunt, uncle, and lots of our family is from Kansas and still lives there...grew up going to Wichita and other cities around there. :) Kansas is a GREAT place to have family. :)
    Your little turkey is precious!
