I Love Pie! - Happy Thanksgiving!

Getting ready for Thanksgiving is fun,
and the kids make it even more so.
I really enjoy crafting with them,
and it's extra nice to hear what they are thankful for
as we make things together.

Mmmmm....cornucopia snack mix

aka - bugles and runts

the only kind of turkey sandwiches my kids eat...

the cheese ones shaped like turkeys

We made obligatory handprint turkeys,

and picked 4 things we are thankful for to write on the feathers

(Caleb thought the waddles were tongues, and said his turkey needed a blue tongue)

What We're Thankful For:

Ashlynn: Balloons, Food, toys, and milk

Caleb: Daddy, Aunt Harjot and her baby, toy room, and moving to NJ

Marigold: warm clothes, our playroom, holidays, and eternal families

Me: My family, the Gospel, heating, and the beauty of the Earth

As promised, here is a pic of our completed leaf pile...

some are missing, having fallen victim to Ashlynn,

but we read a lot of books!!

Our new book bulletin is already up, 

check back next week to see it :)

In our family, the day before Thanksgiving is Pie Day.

We made 14 this year, not all of which are pictured below:

3 apple, 4 pumpkin, 2 Chocolate Oreo, 1 Key Lime, 1 Coconut Cream,
1 Cherry, 1 Carrot, and 1 Sweet Potato with Maple Meringue...
My brother CJ also made a Pecan Pie
(the kids made the name cards to label the pies)

Thanksgiving is always great,

but it was so much fun to work on the meal 

with my Mom and Sister in law, Harjot.

We had 13 adults, and 7 kids for dinner...

it was the definition of the more, the merrier :)

The food was so good, and there were lots of leftovers,
which is my favorite part of the holiday.



Decorating for Christmas began the day after,
we had so much fun working together to get the house ready!
Here's a sneak peek - she's too cute!
