Happy Thanksgiving!

We had Thanksgiving at home this year with just the 4 of us. I did not want to travel to California being so pregnant. We were going to have my brother and his wife over but they decided at the last minute to go to California to visit her sister. I cooked a turkey dinner for the very first time. I didn't really know what I was doing and Daniel asked what I did all those years that my mom cooked turkey dinners... I don't know. I guess I played with my brothers while my little sister helped my mom...

Anyways, our dinner turned out delicious and I spent TWO days cooking for TWO minutes of eating. Parker is in a "no eating dinner" phase and all he ate was half a roll and corn. Staucie ate a little better. She really liked the turkey and kept asking for more bites when Daniel was cutting it up.

This morning Daniel cut up my homemade bread that I made yesterday for the stuffing.

The kiddos.
We colored place mats after nap time. Parker mostly ate animal crackers. Staucie liked the glitter glue and soaked her place mat in it. We didn't even use them because I figured they would be too much of a distraction. It is hard enough to get them to eat. But we had fun making them.

This is me giving Daniel a glare, I guess. He probably said something to deserve it. I was getting ready to put marshmallows on my sweet potatoes. On the fridge you can see the turkeys we made earlier this week. I traced the kids cute little hands for the feathers.

Most of our feast, minus the pies I made and the one serving of mashed potatoes and gravy. Only Daniel eats mashed potatoes because I don't like them and I can't get the kids to eat them. I did make the gravy from the turkey juice for him though.

Meal time!

Happy Thanksgiving!
