Thanksgiving still remains my favorite holiday.
I love it because it is a simple holiday --
No gifts --no costumes- nothing to hunt for--
A day used to reflect on what we are thankful for-And of course we all have so much to be thankful for. Thought I would spare you a list today.
Highlights of the holiday--
Lounging around our house all day watching the Macy's day parade
Dinner and a family gathering at my Aunt Mary's
AN extreme amount of mash potatoes
Three crazy kids and Mike making a ruckus at my Aunts house- HA HA--
The kids locking each other in the dog kennel
Alex's shoes-- see next entry
Watching the kids interact with Grandpa Sicard
Grandpa Sicard surfing the net with Alex
As usual we ventured out for a little holiday shopping the day after thanksgiving and came up empty handed. Well with the exception of Mike's incredible buy of a girly mans drill and two dog beds.
On Saturday we decorated gingerbread houses- it is a family tradition
What a fun day it was-
Mike went through the adds for the sixteenth time to make sure we didn't miss a good buy-
The kids ate a ton of Candy
Garrett got sick from the candy-- luckily at someone elses house- thanks Carol for taking care of him
Carson made his first gingerbread house all by himself-
Adison ate more candy than anyone
Mandy and Taylor made a gingerbread church-- OH GAG ME LOL it was very cute though
Mandy's cousins joined us for the first year-- They took the competition very seriously-
Garrett and Grace judged the houses and disqualified everyone but themselves
