We had a really fun Thanksgiving. I spent most the day on wednesday in the kitchen preparing for the big feast. The kids were a big help too. Ryan was at work so it was up to me and the kids to get things ready. Our menu included: Turkey , mashed potatoes, yams, green bean casserole, peach jello salad, rolls, stuffing and for an appetizer we had a cheeseball and a veggie tray. For dessert we had a peanut butter pie for the kids and a pumkin pie for Ryan and I. We have enough food to last us a week, that is if we can stand to eat leftovers for that long. It was such a great day. We played games and just enjoyed being together. I have so much to be thanful for!! I have been blessed in so many ways. I am so very thankful for my kids. I am so thankful that they are all happy and healthy. I don't know what I did to ever deserve them. They give me purpose in life and teach me more than I will ever be able to teach them. I am thankful for a devoted husband who will do whatever it takes to provide for his family. I am thankful for his constant love. I am thankful for my parents and siblings that I think about and miss everyday!! I am thankful to have a warm home to live in and live in such a beautiful part of the country. I am Thankful, so very Thankful for so much more but you see, my time is limited when blogging with 4 little kids. So I need to finish while Preston sleeps and the other 3 watch Frosty the snowman.
Madi, Emma and Cody set a Turkey trap to see if they could catch a Turkey. They decorated the box and left bread crumbs all around. It was close, They almost caught one but he left a note and treat and then escaped.
Don't you like Codys shoes? He was in to big of a hurry to go upstairs and grab his shoes so he grabbed Ryans basketball shoes since they were sitting by the door.
Now, these 2 girls I found wandering the streets holding a sign that said "will work for food" so I gave them each a "greenscapes" shirt (courtesy of Uncle Matt) and put them to work in the kitchen. They are cutting veggies for the cheeseball. They did such a good job I decided to put them in the shower, brush their hair and keep them as my own. They clean up nice :)
