Thanksgiving better late than never

As usual three cooks, untold hours cooking, and 20 minuets after we sat down its over!

Drew's parents brought games for the kids to play. It never ceases to amaze me how creative they are!

The first game the kids had to find 20 pieces of paper each that had been hidden in the yard. Each child had a paper bag with some kind of picture on it and the kids had to find their papers. One of the pictures had the word "prize" on the back they had to find that one to be able to claim their prize.

GAME 4

Grandaddy aka as Mac Daddy put an orange in the leg of pantie hose and tied it around the kids waist. They then had to use hip action to swing the orange into another orange that was on the floor and get across the finish line. This was a timed game ( of course in Grandparent world there are no losers!)

Justin was the first to go

Ava was a riot to watch boy she sure can use those hips!

Finally Chase got to go he was the fastest I almost didn't get any photos of him he did it so fast!

Uncle Max and Justin no words needed just look at their faces it say it all "Here comes trouble!"

We hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving. I am so thankful that we live so close to family and are able to spend time with them. We have been blessed this year with many friends old and new in our lives and are looking forward to spending more time with them this next year.

You're Done

Owls

Ornaments are a Thanksgiving tradition in our family. Usually they are part of the table decor and each person gets one to take home. I found these at this Etsy shop and thought they would be great for our family this year. To bad Thanksgiving isn't at my house this year. I may just have to buy them and save them for another time, but that would require several things first I would have to remember that I bought them and then I would have to remember where I put them.
