We had a great thanksgiving this year!
For dinner, it was just Jim, Rylee and myself, but you
would have thought I was having an entire extended family
over. I cooked enough to fill alot of people. After we ate,
Zac, CJ and the boys arrived.
Tagg played with some dinosaurs while the adults
and older kids played a quick game of "9's".
It was not long and Mackenzie and Blakeley got
here and then we started on our new thanksgiving
tradition. (thanks to Stacy) We made some
count down to christmas calendars.
The kids got right to work on the decorating and
labeling the calendars with the numbers.
Tagg got a little bit of help from his dad.
Rylee was being really creative.
Good thing that Rylee is old enough to do this on
his own cause this is where his dad was after dinner.
Tagg loved the stickers that we had.
Rylee colored his numbers very creatively
Tagg ended up on top of the table in order to reach
his artwork.(I really think that he was reaching for
an extra piece of candy)
Blakeley pondering over what do to to her calendar
next. Kenzie I think is helping her with the sticky
dots that held on the candy.
I really think that we all had a good time.
Rylee with his finished product.
Tagg and Zac with their creation, complete with
chocolate face and chocolate fingerprints....
Treyson did a fine job on his.
Blakeley with her masterpiece....
Blakeley had a little accident with a "GO-GURT"
If you look close enough it is in her hair, on her
face and all over her shirt....
We had a great thanksgiving and I think that we
have started a new tradition. Thanks to all that
helped with the Christmas Countdown Calendars.
It made This Grandma very happy!!!
Now for the rest of the story. We are having our
carpet reattached into our master bedroom closet
and in order to do that and have the bedroom carpet
restretched and cleaned we had to move out into
the garage for a few nights. Yes we are sleeping
in our garage.....It will only be for a few nights and
it really is not too bad....Had to post pics so that
the girls at work would believe me.....Doesn't look
too bad, just looks like we are hoarders.....
HOPE EVERYONE HAD A VERY NICE THANKSGIVING.
I know I have a lot to be thankful for.....
