Thanksgiving this year has been fabulous. Allison hasn't had school all week and I've taken several days off, too. Which means lots of craft time, sewing time & piano practice (Christmas music!). The girls made the turkey kits Grammie sent on Tuesday night.
We started our actual Thanksgiving with our annual tradition of running in the Little Gobblers Turkey Trot race. This year Heidi was old enough to race, too. She was excited! And very bundled up!
We saw the Hoffmans at the race, too!
We actually stuck around this year - the girls had to go in to collect their participant medals (with prizes) and then they entered their bib #s in a drawing.....Heidi was the 2nd number called....and she walked out with a tray of brownies & pumpkin cream cheese bars from Great Harvest....there was no way she was going to grab bread when that was there! Allison's number was called much later and she ended up with a loaf of cinnamon chip bread!
The girls all had Thanksgiving crafts from school around things they are thankful for. I needed to record them! For Allison it was - Family, Friends, Toilet, Food & Church. She specifically would point out she needed to be thankful for toilets because 'hundreds of people in the world' don't have them.
Heidi was thankful for 'My Allison.' Warms my heart!
And Bekah wrote an essay. Thankful for Family, Friends & Jesus.
We had dinner with the Wagner family. These three have so much fun playing together!
And the whole crew! (I'm thankful Mark is patient enough to teach me and reteach me how to use the self-timer on my camera! :)).
