A Very Beni Thanksgiving!

We had a busy Thanksgiving week! We had the carpets professionally cleaned, and while I love fresh carpets...


I don't so much enjoy reloading the rooms!

The cats definitely enjoyed the empty room though!

We've been wanting to paint for quite some time now, so we thought maybe we should go ahead and do it while we already had the room unloaded. Jared spent a couple of days painting, and here is the result! Fresh carpets, fresh paint, rearranged room, halls are decked...

Under all of that is a turkey! Jared had to rig the roaster so that the turkey was completely submerged in the brine.

Here's our feast!

And the dogs got their own little Thanksgiving meal!

We braved the cold on Thanksgiving and went down to the Plaza for the official lighting ceremony.


There are always celebrities there to flip the switch. I don't really know who these guys are. They play for the Chiefs.



When the fireworks were done, we turned around to leave, and THIS was behind us!

Walking the streets of the Plaza, heading back to the warm car!
