Happy Turkey Day!!!

The four of us had a small but wonderful Thanksgiving that we celebrated together in our home.  We made all the traditional Thanksgiving foods and because it was just us we were able to enjoy the leftovers.
It all started a couple nights before Thanksgiving.  This was when the kids made their own playdough.  They had so much fun picking their own colors and making their own dough.  I have to say that it has already had a lot of use!!!  The kids love it (especially Kyle!!!)
That night the kids had fun dressing up as superheros and eating cold cereal for dinner.  (Can you blame me???  For next two days I was going to be cooking and didn't feel like making anything that night!)
This year Makayla watched the whole parade.  Of course her favorite part was Santa.  Kyle loved it too (the Santa part.)  He is just figuring out this year what Christmas is and he loves it.  He asks every night if Santa is coming.  Makayla asked if the santa in the parade was the real Santa and we decided it is.  This is his last appearance before heading back to the North Pole to make our presents!
The kids enjoyed helping out making the food this year.  Makayla helped with the sweet potato casserole...
and Kyle helped daddy with the stuffing.
Makayla set the table with the NICE dishes!!!
Lunch took a little longer than planned and poor Kyle was SO hungry!!!
Finally it was time.  We ate...
and ate...
and ate!!!  It was the best Thanksgiving ever!
