Thanksgiving in Mahomet

For Thanksgiving we went on an adventure to both Grandparents homes.  It was a long drive to Mahomet, but Kensi did awesome! It definitely took us a lot longer with a baby, with numerous stops - and longer stops, but it was well worth the drive to visit Gigi and Grandpa Jim in Mahomet.  Unfortunately, our trip was cut a bit shorter than planned because of Kensi's ear infection and her having to get a shot Wednesday morning, but we were still able to celebrate Thanksgiving with family.  It has been at least 4 years since we have made the trip to Mahomet, so it was much needed. Plus we were able to introduce Kensi to all the animals! She got to meet Denny and Genie, Kyle's parents horses! 

When we arrived on Wednesday, Jill had Thanksgiving dinner all prepared! It was so nice to be able to arrive to a yummy meal and just relax.  Then on actual Thanksgiving we just ate leftovers and hung out. Kyle and I actually went to a movie and Gigi and Grandpa Jim watched Kensi.  It was the first movie we have been to together in over 8 months! That afternoon we went to the barn to see the horses. Kensi was able to 'ride' sweet Genie, ride a tracker with Grandpa and climb around on the hay bails. 

She is so beautiful

Cheese!

Gigi and Grandpa got Kensi a PONY! :At first she wasn't a fan, but eventually warmed up to it.  She loved bouncing up and down. 

Riding her first horsey!

She was a bit confused at first but after a few minutes she began petting/pulling Genie's mane.  Gigi will have her riding horses in no time I'm sure!

Denny - the white horse - and Genie.  Genie is 33 years old and the sweetest and calmest horse.

Very interested in the hay...

Kensi could barely move with all the layers I had her bundled up in!

It was really special to be able to go to Mahomet for Thanksgiving except one thing was missing - AUNT KELLI! We missed having her with us but we were able to facetime for awhile so that helped a little bit.  Hopefully next year we can have Thanksgiving together with all of the Rogers :)
