We had a great Thanksgiving this year. Our day started with the reappearance of our Elf on the Shelf, Besh. He had heard that our kids were big Lego fans, so he brought them a Lego Advent calendar. As you can imagine, the kids were thrilled! Next we ran our Turkey Trot race, then put up our Christmas tree and decorations and made our Thanksgiving dinner. WE kept it fairly simple since there were just us three adults and two kids who don't like most of the traditional Thanksgiving fare. We had turkey, dressing and brussels sprouts and Jason made fancy mini molten chocolate cakes for dessert.
The kids helped with some festive turkey projects that made our table look amazing.
I know its hard to read, but we did our annual Thankfulness Tree project. I think we are on year 4 of this one. I love it and will continue to do it as long as they will let me!
Ok, so this wasn't exactly on Thanksgiving Day, but we are now on year 3 of performing in the dance studios production of the Nutcracker that happens the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. This year Alia was a Gingersnap! It was a pretty big deal because she got to be one of the little girls that hides under Mother Ginger's skirt in the beginning of the number. She is already looking forward to next year's performance and has her eye on the roles of either Snow Angel or Mouse!
