My 5 year old son, Will, drew this turkey picture and also wrote a little recipe of how to cook a Thanksgiving turkey. Here is his recipe:
"I would get the turkey from the turkey farm. Then kill it. Then you cook it on the grill, I would put ham on the turkey before you cook it. Cook for 55 seconds. Then you eat it"
Hmm.. not sure if that will work or not, but you have to admit its pretty funny!! Hope all of you have a wonderful holiday! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving Week!
1. Geoff's and my anniversary was Sunday the 18th, I know I posted about it last week, but since it fell on a Sunday, I can post about it again... plus the pictures that were taken of us "kissing under the clock," (a fund-raiser for The Salvation Army) came back this week and I wanted to share them with you!
2. This school year's second quarter mid-term grades were handed out, and Shaylee's grades have really improved since the first quarter grades were handed out!
3. Our Thanksgiving was a little different this year. We joined my mom, step-dad, grandparents, brother, and niece at a local casino's buffet for dinner. In addition to all of the traditional Thanksgiving fixins, they had all you can eat crab legs, and more desserts than I have ever seen. The food was delish. After for fun, some of the adults ventured into the casino, we were pretty lucky--my husband won $33.04 playing nickle slots, and my step dad (who treated all 10 of us to the meal) won enough money playing black jack to pay for the dinner!! It was a good Thanksgiving, the only downside was--no leftovers.
4. I couldn't resist hitting up at least one of the major stores for Black Friday shopping, there was nothing particular I needed to go hunt down, but Target had $8 waffle makers, and I have been wanting a waffle maker for a long time so I went. I ran into a couple of friends, and was entertained by the craziness. I picked up my waffle maker and a few gifts. This was also the first Black Friday that I had to work (at a retail place no less) but the rush of customers and selling adorable accessories and dresses all day was super fun... people really came out to support the store and it was the best Black Friday that the store has had.
5. Saturday night, we decorated our Christmas tree! The kids were actually sweet to each other. We watched Elf and ate fresh-baked m&m cookies. I think this is our best Christmas tree yet!
Happy Thanksgiving! Today my family will be spending Thanksgiving a little differently by having our dinner at a local casino's buffet, it is said to have amazing food and all you can eat crab legs along with all of the traditional Thanksgiving fixings. I am thankful for my mom and step-dad for treating us to this meal, I am excited to try something different.
