Thanksgiving Parties!

What a fun Thanksgiving weekend! Whenever we would go somewhere I would tell Sawyer that we were going to a Thanksgiving party; he loved the idea! On Thanksgiving day Daddy had to work all day but Warren and Marti Carter (my second cousin) invited us over to their house along with Mie Mie and Papa. We had a lot of fun watching the Green Bay Packers beat the Detroit Lions! Then it was eating a delicious meal that Marti made for us.

Marti knows how to win the hearts of little ones; she let Sawyer and Mason lick the beaters clean after she made homemade whip cream for our pies.

Sawyer had no problem making himself feel at home. Although I think Aunt Kathryn enjoyed the little snuggle time just as much as Sawyer did!


On Saturday we headed out for another Thanksgiving party at Mie Mie and Papa's house. Daddy was only there for a little bit right before the party started because was able to go to a Wisconsin Badger game who in the end beat Penn State. The kids all sat around one table; 8 kids under the age of 7 actually went really well.


Mie Mie had lots of crafts for everyone to do. They first made turkeys out of apples and candy. Then it was gluing popcorn on a picture of corn and there was also gingerbread and snowman to decorate. Sawyer was pretty proud of his finished turkey and made sure that we did not forget to take it home.



Mason thought it was a much better idea to eat his turkey than to decorate it with candy!



Amber showed me her new iPad and Sawyer and I fell in love right away! We ended up having to set the timer so that everyone could take turns. Here we are all playing the doctor game together; which was Sawyer, Lexie and Ava's favorite game.


It was a fun filled day then ended with having to say good bye to our cousins until next time!
