Home for Thanksgiving

We decided to stay home this year for Thanksgiving to have a break from traveling. It truly is a lot of work to cook everything! I have discovered Pinterest this year and love it. I have gotten so many ideas from that site. We made Turkey heads out of rice krispy treats, pilgrim hats out of cookies, and I found an excellent homemade roll recipe. To change things up a little this year I had asked the kids the day before Thanksgiving what they were thankful for. I typed up a list of everyone's answers and then rolled them up in the rolls. It was kind of fun to open them on Thanksgiving and guess who said what. We are so blessed and have so much to be grateful for. Lately, I have loved listening to Valerie's prayers. She is praying for everyone, from the people who don't have homes to people who are mean. She takes her time and is so sincere in her prayers.


Deviled Eggs - a kid (not mom) favorite!




Uncle Derek came and spent the weekend with us and had Thanksgiving dinner. The kids were very excited to see him. I took Derek Black Friday shopping for his first time. Ashley, Cade, Derek, and myself went to Walmart Thursday evening until about 2 am. I had them scattered all over the store standing in line for things for me. It was nice to have the help and crazy to see how CRAZY some people can get over xbox games! Their night ended there but my night was just beginning. My friend Mel and I stayed up all night and returned the next morning at 9:30 am with plenty of money spent!




We (myself, Derek, Cade, Ashley, Mikayla) managed to hit the slopes for some snowboarding on opening weekend. We all had a good time after we found clothes that fit everyone. Derek was trying to show Ashley that her coat still fit her because it fit him. We had to open a few Christmas gifts early like gloves.


Little Ty wanted to be a participant but instead got to stay home with Dad and put up Christmas lights.
Of course it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without lounging around. The kids made a huge fort with every blanket we owned. It even had separate rooms in it with an air mattress.
