Thanksgiving Favorites!

Well, gobble, gobble, gobble! It's only 2 more days until Turkey Day -- when we sit around the table with friends and family to eat and talk and tell the same stories we tell every year! The guys watch football and the girls clean the kitchen and laugh together. I love it.

I'm so glad you joined today for the first Tuesday of our FAVORITES PARTY! Today I can't wait to hear about your Thanksgiving favorite!


One of my favorite Thanksgiving things.....
Little Pilgrims & Turkey Crafts
Is there anything more adorable than little kids dressed up like Pilgrims? Hardly! This little pilgrim is my Kid Two a couple of years ago. Look how sweet [and innocent] he appears to be.
...
I attended his 1st Grade Thanksgiving Feast where we ate all kinds of finger foods that had been breathed on and handled by nineteen first graders...mmmmm. My favorite was his "hand turkey" on which he had written all the things for which he was thankful: God, Love, Mom, Dad, Brother. I'll bet the original pilgrims had a similar list.
...
I couldn't get him to agree to the costume this year for nostalgia. Selfish little pilgrim...

I remember those days! Seems like yesterday, but my boys are almost 22 and 20.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

That's one cute pilgrim. I like the crafts, too. I'm just not sure what to do with all of them. I swear it's a turkey craft per day.

I hate the FEAST DAY!!! This year we ate "chicken strips" and mac and cheese. It was all spread out on a table cafeteria style for the kids to sneeze on before filling their plates. Oh my barf.

That is one good looking pilgrim.

Hey, Kid! Enjoyed your Blog buddies! Every one of them had great stories to tell. Wish I didn't have a job so I could spend more time reading their blogs. Oh wait, I need to be careful what I ask for! Anyway, as always, I've enjoyed your writings! Look forward to seeing you guys Thursday. We will see if we can come up with a NEW Thanksgiving tradition this year. Maybe let the guys sit around and watch football while the women clean up the kitchen. Wait, I think we've already set that tradition in stone!!
Love ya!

I still have the pine cone turkey my kids made. Those are, indeed, precious things.

Well, better late than never. (I'm definitly not one of the over achievers.) I finally have my post up.

And very cute pilgrim. I think I can remember doing something like that (except a bonnet?) when I was that age.
