Happy Turkey Day!

My inlaws' house was on the Tour of Homes this year for Christmas (which meant it was decorated to the nines and OFF LIMITS to curious, playful, dirty little hands...hahah!) and my brother-in-law and his wife had just moved to a new place, so Thanksgiving was held at our house this year. It ended up just being Jay's mom and dad who came over, but it was a nice get together. It also felt good to be able to host the festivities, too.


Truett & I baked turkey cookies using his hand as the 'cookie cutter'.

The fruits of his labor....YUMMY! Gramma, Truett & Emma enjoying some down time We also celebrated with my family on Thanksgiving Day. We had family from out of town come in for the week. Truett and Emma LOVED spending time with my younger cousins and Jay and I LOVED having someone around to entertain our kiddos!

My friend, Summer, posted about the holidays and mentioned the 'generation tables' at dinner. We still have the 'grown up table' and the 'kid table' at my house. Here are some of my favorite 'kid table' members. :)

Emma Madison made placecards for each of us at the dinner table. Little did we know, but there was also a game involved. If you found something special with your placecard (ie: Jay's included a toy cowboy hat), then you won a chocolate coin as a special treat!It was so much fun hanging out and spending time with our families. We are all so blessed and have so much to be thankful for! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
