Double Thanksgiving is awesome!

We were able to be together on Thanksgiving and it was glorious.  I had ordered a turkey from a farm that we buy eggs and chicken from at the farmer's market before realizing that we would be gong to a friends house for the holiday.  We decided that since we were going to their house after nap, we could still do Thanksgiving in the morning just with us.  Yes please!  We had all the things we love and were able to get the turkey carved and stock going by 1pm- awesome indeed.

I love Emma's face in this picture <3

Just before my mom left the girls painted some little ceramic turkeys that we found in the Target dollar section.  They had fun painting them and we used them as our centerpiece for our family Thanksgiving meal.  They will be going into storage with our autumn decorations.  I really never thought I would be a "decoration" person but the kids love it so much that I think I'm converting.  Just need to do some purging so we can store things in less of a "random boxes overflowing and stacked in a way that they topple over and create a total disaster" kind of way that we are currently keeping things.  It will happen.  I'm confident.

On a side note, I will likely taking a bit of a hiatus in the next couple of weeks while I complete my course.  Big project due + spending my time blogging = grade I won't be happy with.  Will be back soon.
