Thanksgiving Week Catch Up....

Thanksgiving celebrations started this week on Wednesday at Jared's Preschool. Each year they make homemade pumpkin pies and invite parents to come taste. They also have a small program of songs the kids have been learning for Thanksgiving. Jared loves popcorn, so he was so happy that was a choice instead of just pumpkin pie...although he did taste it. It was fun to see our once shy boy singing and talking with friends. He is growing up so fast. I can't believe he'll be in Kindergarten next year!

The Turkey Pokey...put your left wing in...

...Put your left drumstick in...

On Thanksgiving day we went to my mom and dad's house for lunch. I had to work the night before and was due at work that afternoon, so Mom agreed to host a quick lunch for our family. Of course we had to take some family pictures.

Mom decided to make a chocolate cream pie this year...we had to get proof so she will never try again...let's just say it didn't quite turn out. The boys drank it from their bowls....hence the spoon!

And lastly, Thanksgiving was also Mom's birthday. So we had to have a little celebration. Jared, Aaron and Tyler made cards and we got her a small gift.

Happy Birthday, Grandma!
