Happy Thanksgiving to you...

from our one little, two little, three little Indians!


The kids made their own costumes. Hannah's even had a pictorial story on hers, something about an Indian at war in the forest.

I think Isaac is excited someone trusted him with fabric markers. :)

I can not take credit for this craft. It was all thanks to my amazing Aunt Cindy. Speaking of, here she is holding Drew.

I also owe my cousin, Erica, thanks for helping out with the crafts and the kids as well!

We fried a turkey after putting it in brine it overnight. We had all the traditional stuff, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, green beans, a spiral ham, potato salad, rolls, gravy, and four pies to choose from.

Thankful Indians at the kids' table before dinner...

Don't forget our Aggie boys ready for the game!


Before dinner, my uncle had everyone read a scripture or poem around the fire pit. It was a perfectly beautiful crisp day. The girls did a great job reading the poems they were given, and Isaac said his poem he had memorized that didn't relate to Thanksgiving so that he could be included. Drew slept through the family bonding like a champ, all cozy and safely inside. (This immobile phase is awesome for napping anywhere without having to drag a pack-n-play everywhere we go.)

The company was excellent, the food was delicious, and the day was perfect. Thank you, God, for all our many blessings.
