T-day!

I hope all ya'll have as wonderful of a Thanksgiving as we did! Our family tradition? We go to John's Mom's house and deep fry a Turkey! Yummy! The boys get the oil started

and then we set the table

 and work on a little craft

Thankful turkey napkin rings:)

Margie made the cutest Happy Thanksgiving sign! I want one!

Then it's time for the main event

the spectators were happy

We all got to hang out a bit:)

Now the moment of truth

Great job honey! It must be the beer and butter marinade!

 Carvin' time. Save the neck for me Clark.

Max was camping out at the table (shocking:)

Who's ready to eat?!

Yeah we know YOU are buddy!

Even Nubi got a plate!:) It was gooooooooood! Grandma always gets a special dessert

Hey buddy, do you want to eat your cupcake?

you need to eat one more bean.

Not even for this?

Have it your way! no cupcake for our stubborn boy! How bout you Mina?

She knows the good stuff:) Then we go around the table and say what we are Thankful for. Everything was going great... until we got to Max. "What are you Thankful for buddy?" He sat and thought for a minute and then said, "Nofing!" Oh man! That about sums up Max:) How can you hate on Thanksgiving?! Leave it to our little man! But we love him so....

Poor John has to do the clean up

Then our good friends the Susterichs' stopped by for some neck hugs:)

and for the finale, we go through the sale papers and make out Christmas lists to share. And to pick our secret stocking Santa:) I'm not telling who I got! The aftermath...

Just after we got back home my folks showed up for the weekend:) Look what my mom brought with her

One for Mina

One for Max

So cute! Do you think the kids liked them?

Um, yeah

and they knew just where to put them:)

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!
