We had a good thanksgiving and I was fortunate enough to have my mom in town this year.....we didn't do a whole lot, baking, parade watching, and stuffing our faces, it was a casual laid back day and no one was mad about it.
The kids did some ooohhhing and ahhhhing as Dad let them watch the unveiling of the bird......
There was a lot of slapping of meat and tugging at skin as the kids thought it was so cool to feel how cold he was and the texture of the loose floppy skin (braver than I - as the thought kinda makes my stomach turn as I type this) - Don't worry guests, all hands were washed prior to assaulting the bird.
We were visited by Pilgrims and said what we were thankful for......Brooke was thankful for candy and Brady was thankful for "COWS" (of course he was......)
We feasted on good eats made from the little ones who came over on the Mayflower.....
As much as it didn't seem like I slowed down any - It was great not even step foot outside that day and spend an entirely lazy day at home with the family!
Then at 8:01 the next morning let the chaos begin.......let us stand in line at Kohl's for 45 minutes, let us proceed to pull out every xmas decoration and have it up by that afternoon, let us look through every toy catalog known to man that comes to our house literally every day, let us spend the day at the outlets shopping for -me, I mean Christmas presents for others, let us get infuriated with inadequate seasonal workers at Walmart, fa la la la la........ la la la la la.............The kids got into the spirit too .....
Brady helped decorate the tree and is infatuated with all Chris "sports" themed ornaments.....
Brooke decided to forgo the garland this year and decorate her room with baseball cards.... A new treasure that they found in one of Dad's "collector" boxes......
Then the kids got to go see a real live reindeer......
Tis the season it has arrived........
