We had a fun Thanksgiving this year.
Madeline and Lucas got ready for the big day by making fun crafts like these milk carton turkeys.
This year I made up some thankful turkey bags for each member of our family. They were a lot of fun and I think they might make an appearance every year. Inside each bag we put things that we are thankful for about each person. I really liked writing them. It made me really appreciate my little family.
Thanksgiving morning was kind of a lazy affair. The kidlets hung around in their jammies while I cooked our dinner and daddy went and played football.
I can't remember exactly why she is so "sad" in this picture....
The turkey headbands made it out for another year.
Baby Jonas on his first Thanksgiving. He looks so happy. ha ha.
I love this picture because it reminds me so much of my Grandpa and Grandma White. I have spent countless Thanksgivings at my grandparents house and my Grandma ALWAYS made this jell-o and my Grandpa ALWAYS stuck his fingers in everything before it was time to eat. Good memories.
Oreo turkeys. Madeline helped me make them.
It was just us for Thanksgiving and we had enough food for a crowd. I brined a turkey, we had mashed potatoes and gravy, jell-o, homemade stuffing, homemade rolls, and pie.
The sad thing about our dinner was that I spent all morning making it and when it was done we only had about ten minutes to enjoy it. Jimmy had to go serve the soldiers at the DFAC so we ate really fast and loaded up in the car and headed over there. At least we were together. We came home and enjoyed a little bit of this....
I am so thankful for my beautiful family. We have been so blessed. We are so thankful that this year we are together. In the Army you never really know when you will be apart on holidays and it has made me feel so grateful for the holidays that we are together.
Happy Thanksgiving!
