Thanksgiving 2011

Thankful, Thankful, Thankful!




Family is what I am most thankful for. Here is a fun shot of some of us on our after Thanksgiving walk. This is the first opportunity I had to use my new camera!




Jade had never had a whole piece of pumpkin pie to herself before. She started out very daintily with a fork, but soon that was way too slow. She just picked the whole piece right up and shoved it in to devour the pumpkiny sweet goodness!



Grandma had a fun idea to make turkeys with Oreos, candy corn, and other yummy ingredients. Jade thoroughly enjoyed herself and her favorite part was eating all the turkey parts! I love that she is finally at the stage where she has an attention span to do crafts like this! She was so attentive and loved every minute of it!





This is Grandma's beautiful turkey!



Grandma & Jade with their turkey...



Baby Doll! She had a blast that day with all of her family loving her!





The yummy meal....I have to say it was one of the tastiest Thanksgiving meals I have ever had. Thanks to my wonderful family, thanks to Mom for teaching us all how to cook!






Jade, Cole, Troy and Ben played a little Rock Band...





And then it was time for a walk to help digest our big meal! It started out with a race...


Cole vs. Jade!




Then there was some swinging... once we started though she did not want to stop!



And she even got her aunt and uncle to keep swinging her almost the whole walk!





Ben tore off a "weed" and Jade called it her "fluffy" and carried it around like a magic wand and did some sweeping with it. That is now the cleanest pathway you will ever see!




Finally, Grandpa helped Jade feed the ducks, she kept trying to feed them rocks!





A view of the beautiful sunset at the pond. The perfect ending to a perfect day with family. I am so thankful for my family and all that we have been blessed with.
