We had the joy of spending Thanksgiving in Kansas this year as we switch between families every other year. This year is Thanksgiving with the Sloop's and Christmas with the Johnson's and next year it will be reversed!
We had such a great time hanging out with everyone and visiting. We stayed for a good long time, 7 days! We flew into Kansas city instead of driving this year, it was sooooo much better. We played lots of games together and ate lot of great home cooked meals! Can you believe it or not, I'm 4 months prego and I went and played in the ward turkey bowl AND scored a touch down... my Thanksgiving could not have started off any better!
We were able to get our pictures taken while we were in town and boy did they turn our cute. Colton was crying the entire time because he wanted to run around in the grass and leafs instead of being held... but once my entire family started singing (with their teeth clinched) he was really quiet. There are 4 things that he loves in life so far... Basketball on the TV.... playing with any sort of ball outside.... shoes (couldn't imagin where he gets that from) and MUSIC.
When we were leaving Kansas to go back to Arizona I will never forget what happened... Felise Navidad (Christmas song) came on the radio and everything about that song reminded me of Arizona, it made me realize that its ok to have Christmas with palm trees and it be 80 degrees.... and the other thing that happened was when I was sitting in the airport (it was super early in the morning) and I was stairing out into space and realized it was snowing! I got to witness my favorite thing in the world.... the 1st snow of the season (for Kansas). Since then I have really been content and haven't even had the need to put the christmas lights out on the house this year. Haha.
We hope everyone enjoys this holiday season!
With love,
The Johnson's
