We are behind as always lately in posting this, but here are some pictures and memories from our families Thanksgiving this year and Evie's very 1st Thanksgiving.
The photos below are from a quick photo session I had with the kids in their Thanksgiving shirts in the morning during the Thanksgiving Day Parade. I finally got one of them smiling and looking at the camera, but these other pictures I thought were worth featuring too. Silly kids! :)
The winner - success (both kids smiling and looking at the camera)!
You can see the parade in the background here. :)
During Thanksgiving Day we also got the chance to make hand turkeys. It was so fun to be able to do an activity with Evan for the holidays. I love being able to teach him new things.
Here are Evie and Jim waiting and watching us do the hand turkeys. Aren't they so cute?
The final product, along with a picture Evan also did in his MOPPETS class during MOPS. I am a proud Mama!
That evening we headed over to my Grandma's house for Thanksgiving. Here is the beautiful table before dinner.
When we first arrived Grandma and Grandpa Thompson had set us this cool train track for Evan to play with before dinner. He was having a great time with Daddy playing.
Final food preparations in the kitchen with my mom, brother and Debra.
Dad was hanging out with Evie.
Me and my honey posing with some of the yummy food.
After dinner the kids got to do some more coloring with Daddy and Aunt Debra.
My Grandma and Mom posing pretty after the delicious meal! Thanks to everyone for all the hard work and great feast- especially to Grandma for hosting.
After dinner, we had a real special treat, celebrating my Mom's Birthday! Evan was especially excited and couldn't wait to sing happy birthday to Grandma as well as dive into the cake. Yummy!
It was the perfect ending to our Thanksgiving Day. We did have one minor set back, we all had colds- not ideal, but doable. Such is the life of having little ones and lots of germs. :)
