Turkey Day.

This year my sister and her hubby hosted Thanksgiving at their new home. It was a nice, relaxing evening, with lots of yummy food and many, many laughs. It was also Carter's first Thanksgiving :)

Here's his cute face mid babble.

Braden and I made lots of Turkey crafts this month. Thanksgiving morning we made Turkey hats with feathers. One for him and of course, one for Joce.

Check me out!

This is half of our table.

Joce really wanted to blow out the candle. Her and Braden were arguing about it until finally one of them snuck up and blew it out .

Mom and Carter. My usually happy baby made this awful whiny sound most of the night, ahh.

Me and the hub.Check out that turkey, it was sooo yummy.

The Shako's pose next to their first turkey ever! With Em.
The grandma's hanging out with the kiddos. Grandma Arlene had Santa Pez' for them.

The kids coloring for a bit. And yes, that is my almost three year old boy with a paci, sigh. It's my fault.
And then the construction of the gingerbread house began.....And i'll just begin by saying that there were five adults all "helping" to put this together and none of us managed to read the directions....ahem.

The kids were helping with the construction...

Um, there was this huge blizzard...

And there was so much snow that the roof and walls of our house began to cave in....

And there were many attempts to keep this house together.

The Shako siblings did not want to quit. And that's A with her sad face.

Turns out that the house was supposed to sit and dry for an hour before the rest of the decorations went on..who knew??

No worries, our evening ended much happier than our house!
