I'm usually a homebody when it comes to breaks, but this year I decided to start it off with a road trip. I also figured the next week I'd be stir crazy and would have wished I would have gone somewhere. The kids and I first headed to Ravenna for breakfast at my Aunt's, we (Aunt, cousin, kids, mom and myself) then all headed to my grandparent's house to get it all cleaned up for Christmas.
Aunt Christie made Landon his very own giant cookie!
Avery LOVED her french toast as always.
That morning when we got to the bakery we had heard that Paul Beranek had passed away. He absolutely loved my Aunt's pastries. There were many of his games we attended and many times he would stop and talk to Landon when we were at the bakery. Such an awesome guy who will greatly be missed.
Getting the tree all decorated for Christmas.
That evening we then headed to Lexington to stay the night. The next morning my dad had to work in Hays so we all decided to tag along with him. My mom, the kids and I bummed around town and went to the dinosaur museum while my dad worked. It had been two years since we've been there so it was fun to hit up our favorite spots.
Lucy wasn't too sure about me and the two strange little people. She definitely needs to be around kids more.
She eventually loved on Avery.
Then there is Dozer who is so chill.
There was a new shop in downtown Hays that I ABSOLUTELY loved. If you ever watch Fixer Upper, it reminded me of all the neat things she buys. I could have spent hundreds of dollars in there.
Of course we had to hit up Taco Grande for lunch!
The large mechanical dinosaur was under the weather. The first thing Landon said when he saw it was "phew, what a relief!" He still isn't too sure about it.
Avery loved Papa's office kitty.
Can't leave town without a snoball!
On the way home there was an amazing Christmas light display in Holdredge. Their entire front yard, backyard and house was lit up.
