We stayed put for this Thanksgiving. I made mini Thanksgiving meal all week to get a little taste without having to cook it all in one day. Especially since my kids don't eat that much, and my hubby can only eat so much:)
I try a new turkey every year to make with the kids. This year was a cupcake with recess. Might be my favorite one so far. The kids love to help out in the kitchen.
The finished work.
Leah's Turkey.
Goose showed me his and then ate all the toppings off. I'm surprised they stayed on for a picture!
All the turkey's together.
The kids helped me put up the Christmas tree. Even though we pulled the Christmas stuff out first thing in the morning, it wasn't done until after the kids went to bed. For being a day off, it turned out to be super busy!
We rented a redbox and on our way to return it we saw a homeless lady. Back at the house, as we were eating dinner, Jer suggested taking some of our meal back to her. The kids couldn't eat fast enough and filled a plate full to take to her and each wanted to bring her one of the turkey cupcakes they had made. I sometimes feel like I am screwing up as a mom and pray constantly that my kids turnout okay. It's times like this that I am grateful for their little spirits that the Lord has entrusted me with and the example of unconditional love that they have. They each bring so much joy into my life. It's hard being a mom, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

The day ended with a little rough housing with dad.
And some sleeping giant!
