Turkey Day

I had such a fabulous Canadian Thanksgiving...I could have probably called it good, but we geared up for some more Turkey and another day to remember all we have to be grateful for.

The day started off with a Turkey bowl, Tyson played the quarter back...and had a great time.Lydia thinks every football game is OU football and for 2 hours Daddy was on the team. She was a great little cheerleader on the sidelines.

This was the first time she has been cold and could communicate about it. It was 38 degree's out. She really didn't know what to think. But I told her, "Isn't it fun being cold?" and she just kept saying "Brrr....cold outside, brrr....cold outside!"

We were put in charge of the Turkey once more....and Tyson is becoming quite the expert at carving. Andy had a few helpful tips for him too. The turkey is super easy, but I think the most stressful.

We celebrated with the Pattersons, the Sorensen's, the Davidson's & the Jensen's. It turned out to be a lovely day, Lydia napped all afternoon while I was helping prepare food. We ate and then played games, visited, had dessert and even put on an impromptu family talent show.

It was a true {Friends} thanksgiving: we had 3 different kind of potatoes & and a cheese cake ended up on the floor. That seriously has to be one of my favorite episodes when Chandler & Rachel eat it right off the ground. Ha ha. We luckily didn't have to do that, Chantel brought back-up.

Mmmmm... Glad you had a great Thanksgiving. So, question for you Laura. How the heck do you get Lydia to stay still and not pull her barrettes out and stuff to do her hair so cute. I know she is like 7 or 8 months older then Brynlee, but i swear that her hair has always been so cutely done. I dunno maybe I just have a stubborn child...

Looks like a great Thanksgiving! I like the picture of all the kids where Lydia looks like she is doing the "Thriller" dance! Also, I love watching kids grow up and all the new things they learn, how funny that it was the first time she could communicate cold!
