Thanksgiving Recap

Having a whole week off at Thanksgiving time is the best thing ever! We had lots of snow - so that made it so much fun for the kids. We had a snow play date at our house with cousins to start off the fun week!

We made these yummy, festive Pilgrim Hat cookies and guzzled the hot chocolate of course!

On Thanksgiving Day we enjoyed our normal traditions: Mom cooking up the favorite family recipes, Dad playing in the Turkey bowl with our branch, having a soak in the hot tub . . .

And Makenna busy making crafts! She is our little crafter and got to spend much of her break from school creating and crafting (mostly Christmas gifts) - she's just so talented!

It was fun to get a little inspiration from the "Button Girl" book
since her new passion is buttons!

Unfortunately I took "O" pictures of our beautiful Thanksgiving spread - but believe me it was big and it was delicious! After dinner I entertained the kids with some fun music and dancing games and then they wanted to perform! I think our favorite was Turkey in the Straw - with our two turkeys (Porter and Josh) in the middle!

The end of the week we hunted for a Christmas tree, went to the Christmas Parade, and just enjoyed playing games and spending time together!
I am SOOOO Thankful for so many things - but I'm definitely the most thankful for my crazy amazing family! I LOVE YOU!
