Thanksgiving Day

The dads and kids headed out to the park on Thanksgiving morning so the moms could get and early start on cooking our big dinner. We had fun playing together in the park, and even had our own Thanksgiving Day football game!

There were quite a few fumbles when we began, but we eventually got the hang of it!

Time to head home to Thanksgiving dinner!

Mor-Mor helped us all make special “turkey” cookies to celebrate the day…

Emily & Julia helped set the table…

Daddy made the gravy…

Aunt Jenna & Mommy made the dinner…

Uncle Aaron carved the bird!

We missed having Grandpa Dave with us, but he sent us an awesome fruit arrangement to celebrate the day!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! What a wonderful day to celebrate with family!

The tooth fairy made a stop at our house!

The first morning I woke up at my cousins house, I had a whole apple as a snack, and Mommy & Daddy noticed that my bottom tooth was starting to get a little loose! I was SO excited, and even though my cousins kept telling me that it could take a long time for it to fall out, I couldn’t stop wiggling it & hoping I would lose it sooner than later! Finally, after dinner, Alayna helped me get up the courage to just yank it out! I was so excited about it, that I didn’t even mind all of the blood!

My cousins let me use their tooth fairy box to keep my tooth in, and the tooth fairy found me all the way in Michigan! She left me a note and 100 pennies! I’m rich!

The best part about losing my tooth, is finding all kinds of things to fill the space in my gums! My favorite is drinking through a straw!

The Critter Barn

On the day before Thanksgiving, it was a beautiful day, so our cousins took us to their favorite petting farm, called “The Critter Barn”. We were actually able to pet or hold EVERYTHING there! Ben was a little nervous around the animals, the girls LOVED holding the bunnies, and the turkeys were just glad they were there and not in someone’s freezer!
