Nannie, Grandpa, Aunt Amy, Trey and Lily all joined us for Thanksgiving this year. As the top picture demonstrates nicely, Gabe feels he has become a turkey master and is proud of his work;) James has been fixated, for months, about getting to eat an entire turkey leg. I have no idea where it came from, but when the day came he happily ate that whole leg. We made a Thanksgiving tree again this year, we didn't put as much time into it as we should have, but better than no tree. My favorite highlights this year were: Ben- "a machine that can turn the weather to sunny" and James- "Migashun" (read: migration)... way to prioritize kids!
The day after Thanksgiving the kids and I stayed home for a resting day. That evening Grampy and Grammy came to visit for a few days. We spent Saturday morning helping to decorate our church for Christmas and doing a little local shopping. That afternoon Aunt Andrea was able to join us for a Thanksgiving leftovers dinner;)
The other excitement over the weekend was the discovery of the chicken's outdoor "nesting box". Thoughtfully, they chose a spot off of our deck, close to the door so we wouldn't have to walk as far to collect them. James continues to be a bit of a chicken whisperer and will just go out, reach underneath the hen and pull out a hot egg... the hens throw a fit if anyone else even gets near them when laying eggs. As it turns out they are laying lots of eggs...
