Wayment Family: Thanksgiving Break

I know this is a month late but better late then never, right? (And I still have summer pict to do so it is kind of early! )

We went to my parents for Thanksgiving this year. We flew home on Friday stopping in Denver. Our plane was delayed in Denver (big surprise there) but only for a half hour. This however was enough time for an injury. Eliza, Parker and Mac were taking a walk to get rid of some energy. They stopped in an empty area and Mac let them run around. Parker went under the chairs and Eliza ran for the escalator. Mac made the choice (right one I might add) to leave Parker and run after Eliza. She was starting to step on the moving sidewalks (going the wrong way). Of course when she stepped on it knocked her down and her fingers started to go under the end. This is when Mac arrived and picked her up. 1/2 second later and she probably would not have any fingers or hand for that matter. Luckily it was just really nasty cuts and missing skin (nothing compared to what it could have been). It was pretty gross to look at. We got her taken care of and it was time to board the plane. That was Friday.

Saturday we helped my parents with some yard work and Mac got to watch the BYU/ UTAH game at my dad's work. We also had Stroud's chicken (if you are ever in KC you need to try it the mash potatoes and chicken noodle soup are to die for).

Sunday was church and FHE. Parker warmed right up to my parents this time. He was so excited that Papa and him matched at church. They both had on vest, button up shirts, black shoes and corduroy pants.

Mackenzee and Parker helped my sister make our treat (brownie cupcakes).

I think Parker got more on his face then in the pan.

Monday Mac fixed my parents kitchen sink faucet. It took a little longer then expected. That night we went to my sisters basketball game.

Tuesday my grandparents came in town. It was great that my kids got to spend some time with them. That night we went to my brothers basketball game. We also got to eat at the Chinese restaurant that I like by my house (thanks Alicia).

Wednesday I started the preparations. We made jello and some of the pies. Mac, Parker, my Granddad and Daren (my brother) went to the College Basketball Experience and Hall of Fame. They said it was a blast.

Look he can dunk and he is only 2!!!

Thursday my two aunts and their families came. Mackenzee made a new best friend, my cousin Haley. This is them in front of the Rainbow Jell-O I made.

Of course we ate and ate and ate. That is what the day is for right?
The food.

My cute Grandparents. I love this picture of them!

After dinner we drove by the new temple site for the Kansas City Temple. I am so excited for it to be built!!! My dad, mom, me, sister (Courtney) and aunt (Nan). It was a little chilly.

We also visited our friends the "Kieffers" (all but Liz). We did forget to get a picture and we even brought our camera! Parker fell asleep soon after we arrived. Mackenzee was amazingly quiet. It was great to visit with them though.

When we got back we had pie and then Parker and Mackenzee made cookie turkeys while the big kids went to the movies and then shopping at midnight (it ended up being not worth it they said and came home shortly after midnight.) The adults hung out and just laughed about the good old times :)

Friday we had a great breakfast dish that my aunt made using none other then Mr. Dells potatoes. Which she brought from Indiana!

I went to my dads store and helped set up some Christmas displays and check out the things he has up there. Mackenzee went shopping with my cousin Haley . She came home with sparkly Hello Kitty shoes and wont take them off.

I did a tiny bit of shopping. I went to Target with my sister to help her get my kids presents so I could bring them on the plane. We left that night and were able to get an earlier flight out of San Diego, our connecting city. We all crashed as soon as we got home. It was a great holiday, fun, relaxing and hanging out with family what more can we ask for? Okay maybe Brit and Jake (they are in China) but other then that it was great.
