Happy Thanksgiving 2011

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Andrea and Chucks house.  I forgot my camera, but here is a picture of our Thankful Turkey.  Each day we each wrote something we were thankful for on a feather for our thankful turkey.     Thanksgiving was delicious.  The kids had the time of there life playing with all of there cousins.  They love going to Aunt Andrea's and Uncle chucks house.    Chad took the kids home around 8 to put them in bed and I hung out with my sister and planned my black Friday shopping.  Andrea, Marshal and I went to Target this year.  We came out of the store a half hour after it opened with everything on our list.  I was home in bed at 1am.  It was awesome. 

Thankful Turkey's

Our Thankful Turkey's were a hit this year.  Easton and Gretchen both loved doing it and it was fun to see what they were thankful for each day.
