Thanksgiving

A belated post to Joel and Heidi to THANK them for another great Thanksgiving at their house, and for putting up with all 6 Kinney's + 2 dogs (a huge thanks for letting that happen!).  Heidi and I even got a little bit of Black Friday shopping in!  And we got pics of the kids for christmas cards, and didn't even need our coats outside because it was almost 60 degrees!  Very nice.

Happy Birthday Benny!

It was Ben's 12th birthday yesterday, and he spent it at home on the couch, with strep throat.  He still had a pretty good birthday, even though he didn't feel well.  Thanks to everyone for all of the neat birthday stuff and cards and cash...he's one of those really appreciative kids that loves everything he gets, so he really thanks you all <3 ! 

And Ben decided that sucking on a cup would be a good idea.  Yeah, big bruise on the chin as a result.
