We were blessed to be able to spend Thanksgiving with all but one member of the Headlee family. We all made our way up to the farm in Bancroft for a 36-hour Thanksgiving/Christmas whirlwind. As our family gets bigger (adding a girlfriend and more grandkids to the mix), it's harder and harder to get everyone together, and it's even harder for all of us to get any sleep while we're there (five grandkids under five is tough!). But it's so worth it!
Here's Mom and Dad with their "granddarlings," as Mom calls them. We bribed them all to be still with candy canes (and a carrot for Eli). Micah went to town on that candy cane. In the two or three minutes that we were taking pictures, he ate it down to the U-shape. Sheesh. L to R: Cady (age 4--Kellen's), Natalie (Age 3--Eric's), Micah (2), Kenny (1--Eric's), and Eli (7 months).
Kellen decided that we all needed to go to a Husker game together, so we bought our tickets, put on our red (and our layers), and went to Lincoln for the UNL-C.U. game on Friday after Thanksgiving. Of course, we had to go watch the band warm up in front of Westbrook. Here's my dad the Band-Man watching and loving it:
And some pics from the game. Love Kenna's hat!
This random old guy behind us gave Josh a hard time for wearing a Broncos hat. Like the Huskers and the Broncos are rivals or something, geesh. It was COLD. Hats of any kind were necessary.
And not one day, but two of the days we were together, Kenna and I dressed very similarly. So we took a pic. Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters.....
Ahh, I love my family. Can't wait for the holidays in 2014 or so when the stars might align so we can all be together again.....
P.S. In April and May, we'll get two more grandbabies. Jenny and Elizabeth are both pregnant! Woo-hoo!
