Thanksgiving 2017

During the week of Thanksgiving we decorated our traditional Thanksgiving Turkey – taking turns writing down things we are particularly grateful for this year.

Drew had a couple fun fall projects in preschool.

The turkey project below is one that Katie also did when she was in Mrs. Hammer’s preschool and we were lucky enough to have Grandma Kesler in town to help Katie put together a turkey worthy of “The Prettiest Turkey Award.”  I’m not a fan of the crafty stuff so I commissioned Carly into helping Drew decorate his turkey.  How fitting that he brought home “The Most Handsome Turkey Award”

Drew also had a fun Thanksgiving Celebration at preschool where he was given a headdress and an Indian name for the day – “Strong Wolf”

We had Thanksgiving dinner at the Baumgartner’s house.  The only picture we got of the cousins was while they were eating pie.

I asked Tami to take a quick picture of my family after dinner that we could use for our Christmas card this year.  We didn’t have any decent pictures with all of us from this year – so here’s one :) These people are my greatest blessings!

After feasting with the Fletcher family we returned home and snuck in a photo with our Thanksgiving pumpkin…

… and then quickly moved onto Christmas.  Abigail was itching to draw names for the kids secret sibling gifts and we completed our first tis the season puzzle while listening to Christmas music and staying up way past bedtime.
