Thanksgiving


Our little turkey

Swinging with Auntie Sarah

Gobble gobble

Spinning on the swing getting dizzy

The table set ready to eat our Thanksgiving dinner

Ethan modeling his turkey hat he made at preschool


Yum pumpkin pie

Forget silverware....let me just dig in

Mollie skipped the pie and went straight for the ready whip

Mac playing with his Lego's

What a motley crew. Don't you just love Ethan's scrunched nose and Mia's face

They only picture that everyone was looking at the camera. Ethan, Mollie, Mac, Mia & Tommy Joe

Tommy Joe really liked Mia's turkey bow

We hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Unfortunately Steve had to work until 5:oopm:( We got up and all had breakfast together before he had to leave. Amy, Ethan & Mia found their spots to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It is a family tradition (at least for Amy...in Canada they don't have thanksgiving day parades) and Ethan & Mia love watching the marching bands. Ethan had his cymbals out banging away. Mia's instrument of choice was the maracas. After the parade we went to Amy's parents house for Thanksgiving dinner. Ethan & Mia had a ball playing with Uncle Scott & Auntie Sarah before dinner. We had a wonderful dinner complete with all the fixings. After pumpkin pie all of the cousins decided they were going to put on a "Dancing with the Stars" show for us. Mollie had Mia's blanket and was using it as a cape doing the pasa doble. After the show we tried to get some family pictures before everyone headed home. It was a wonderful day to reflect on what we are really thankful for. We realize how blessed we are to have our children home with us. Our God is so good and we are so thankful for everything he gives us.
