Thanksgiving #1
Coffee Filter Turkeys! Thomas brought this idea home from school and the kids went to town! They decided to make one for each person at the dinner Wednesday night. Each turkey had a unique "feather" design and a special set of "accessories" (as T was calling them). Not pictured here, but my personal favorite, was Uncle Jeff's with camoflage feathers and a giant rifle because he likes to hunt. Aslo among the favorites were Great grandma Guylene's with a rhinestone necklace and earings because she loves and wears lots of beautiful jewelry and Aunt Tammy's with a special lipsticked beak because Lauren sees her as the queen of glamour and beauty! All of the baby turkeys had little baby themed stickers on them. I was so proud of them for puting so much thought into each one. Newcomer, Jesse (Lexi's boyfriend) even got one with a basketball drawn on it at the last minute!! Way to go TLC!
I need a lesson on how to put pictures in the right order on the blog...surely it can't be hard. Anyway, here's L and C starting to enjoy their meal in hopes of getting to eat the chocolate Turkey that was on everyones plate.
Happy Thanksgiving morning everyone! Actually this was Wednesday morning, but we decided to celebrate over two days this year.
We headed over to for the Grady Thanksgiving where the kids met their new cousin Grace Olivia (7weeks) for the first time. My brother made it a point to announce that she had slept 10hours the night before....WHAT??!!! None of my kids slept 10hours the night before! :(
