Pre-Thaksgiving times!

Well I guess since it's after midnight as I write this it is technically Thanksgiving:) We've had a great weekend. Last weekend was finished off with a 3rd birthday party for Max's friend Giddeon:) It was big fun:) There was playing,

Max got a lesson in playing cars and trucks with "big boy" Bookie:)

 Presents,

 and of course,

CAKE!!

Esther tied candy to balloons to give the kids. So cute! I will have to steal this idea:)

Crazy Max:)

Happy Birthday Gidders!

Tonight we went to Grandmas to inject the turkey and get it ready to deep fry tomorrow! (well again, technically, today:)

John get's a little too into his work!!

Beer and butter injected, mmmmmm, "This will be the one they will remember me by"

For dinner...

and Grandma had a treat for the kids

Gingerbread house! Mina & Max approve

I helped!:)

There were also gingerbreadmen to decorate!

Mina made Daphne (shocking)

and this one she said is Dada:)-so cute-and the likeness in uncanny:)

I've heard that all good chefs are messy,

so Max must be, like, the best chef ever!:)

Run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!

How'd the house turn out you ask?

Don't ask.
