Thanksgiving and a Birthday

So I'm home and trying

to get everything back

to normal.  This is what I am

up against!  And I am cooking

and hosting Thanksgiving

dinner this year!

 

But I did it!

with the help of my boys

and my snookem.

 

and we were ready for

Thanksgiving!

 

My Dad was in charge of

the turkey.  And yes, that is

our delicious 2014 Thanksgiving

turkey laying in a pile of

pyrex glass right there on

our driveway!

It slid right out and onto

the ground when he opened

his hatch to get it out.

B.U.M.M.E.R!

but we moved on.

I never eat the turkey anyway.

And honestly, I don't think

anyone missed it.

We had lots of

good delicious food!

 

I went Black Friday

shopping with KC.

Actually we went

Thursday and he called

it Gray Thursday shopping.

He's so clever.

 

I got almost all of my

Christmas shopping done

and my house was still

somewhat clean...

so I got to work on

butterfly stuff while

we watched some movies.

 

We also wanted to take

advantage of the long

Thanksgiving weekend and

go ahead and have Cody's

birthday party.  It was very last

minute, but we knew we just

needed to go ahead and get it done.

 

Dinner with the grandparents

was up first.  This kid wanted

enchiladas with mashed potatoes

and gravy and tater tot casserole.

Um No!  Try again.

We settled on pop corn chicken

with tater tot casserole and

a nice big salad.

He was happy with that!

and instead of a cookie

cake from the mall he wanted

my coconut cake!

Weirdo!

It was delicious though.

 

A kid excited about getting

books!  Love it!

 

 

 

He wanted a sleepover

and laser tag.

So that's what we did.

 

It was pretty fun.

All of the boys loved it.

Actually I am not sure who

loved it more...

the boys or KC.

 

He had a great time!
