I'm glad I'm not a Turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
They'll stuff you and bake you and then they will taste you!
I'm glad I'm not a turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
At home the kids made these cute turkey hats. Mommy is a pro at that accordion fold but the kids did good gluing and panting.
At one point, the Pilsbury dough boy was the spotlighted balloon. Keri asked who it was and Sophie explained, "He is white and had blue eyes, and fixes tires." Seems she had confused the the Michelin Man for the Dough Boy.
The afternoon was spent at the Garvin home watching football and just hanging out. It was nice down time and the kids played well with Kenzie.
Back at home, our Thanksgiving feast was influenced by fast food this year. We made turkey burgers dressed with a spicy cranberry pepper compote, caramelized onion. lettuce and mayo on a multi grain bun. On the side we served up sweet potato "fries" and washed it all down with a spiced pumpkin milk shake. Easy, kind of traditional, kind of fun! Neal made a nice pumpkin pie for dessert. We, as parents call it a feast, but Sophie has informed us that there should be a lot of people there, so it wasn't.
It is a wooden, hand-painted nativity set for the kids to get their hands on, play with, and love on. For a couple of years she has been wanting them to have a set of their own so they could come to love the true Christmas story in their own way. The nativities we had were not made for little, sticky fingers. Of course, we will be sure to see the "Superman" Christ child zoom past the shepherds, and Mary dancing and rockin' out with the Magi but the important thing is that they will come to love the creche as their own and the Savior as their own some day.
Happy Thanksgiving!
