Thanksgiving 2011

 Lots o' Thanksgiving pictures ahead!  But, you know... that's what I do!  

 We continued our annual tradition of making cookie turkey hands.  Only this year, Mommy thought it would be a good idea to bake the cookies with the candy corn already on!  Not a great idea.  I didn't get a picture, but the poor birds' beaks were a puddle of orange after a few minutes.  

That's OK, I went ahead and added fresh beaks!   And no help from me this year, so you can see the amazing artwork they did!

Micah didn't waste time, and pretty much ate his before it was decorated.

Josh was more careful and really put thought into it.  He's growing up!

 On Thanksgiving Day, we celebrated Grandma's birthday too.  Here's Malia about to help her blow out her birthday candle.

 Regan kept cracking up at this picture of Micah.  She loves taking those super close-ups!

 A picture of Regan?  How did that get in there?

Aww, some of the cousins.  When did they get so big?  Seriously, these used to be the little guys at the parties!

And a lovely face from Malia!  She's inherited my expressive face - such fun :)

My favorite part about Thanksgiving this year was that we took time to read at least 2 -3 Thanksgiving or Fall books each night.  One of my favorites was "Give Thanks For Each Day."  This was such a sweet book that the kids really enjoyed.  

Now I'm ready for December 1st and the Christmas countdown!
