Thanksgivng!

Our Thanksgiving week was great! We were able to spend the weekend before Thanksgiving in Columbia, Mo with Cori's family. We got to watch Cara play two basketball games, hard to believe she is already a Junior. Then we drove back to Louisville so we could get ready for the Leis Family's visit.

At Stephens Park (Columbia, Mo)

Kelly, Connie, Cara, Matt (Cara's boyfriend), and Grandma Emma Rene all made the trip out to Louisville. This was our last holiday in our house before the big move to South Carolina, so it was kind of bitter sweet.

We were able to share some quality time with Cori's family. We were able to take everyone to the University of Louisville football game. It was pretty chilly by Kentucky standards, but everyone seemed to enjoy the game even though the Cards lost. On Thursday, we created a Thanksgiving Feast! Everyone contributed to the meal and as always there was more than enough food. David just ate the last of the Turkey this week (2 weeks later) and said it still tasted good! We took a drive of the Kentucky countryside and stopped at Makers Mark Bourbon Distillery. We enjoyed a tour of the grounds and even got a taste at the end. We all got the chance to dip a bottle of bourbon in the red wax (their signature) for a keepsake! We enjoyed showing everyone around the place we have called home for the last 4 (almost) years. We have a lot of great memories of our time in Kentucky and will always have a special place for it in our hearts.

In the warehouse. Trying to get a bit of the "Angel's Share"

The Angel Share is what the bourbon aroma is referred to. It's the small amounts of bourbon is lost out of each barrel through their process.
