Happy Thanksgiving

 Happy Thanksgiving!  Oliver and Mommy had fun being with family today!

Waylon, growing, growing, growing!

Cutest picture ever!

He is growing one for Movember, you can learn more about it here.
(Mommy has some friends participating too!  Its definitely for a good cause.)


Ready for dinner!

Playing!  

Playing some more!

We made "The Story of Thanksgiving" bracelets.

Here is the story and the colors you need.  Mommy tries to do this with Oliver every year, so he remembers why we celebrate Thanksgiving.

THANKSGIVING RETELLING BRACELET
Use these colored beads to retell the story of the first Thanksgiving.
First brown bead represents the Pilgrims leaving England for religious freedom
Next white bead represents the sails on the Mayflower
3 blue beads for the long trip over the ocean
1 green for when they spy land
3 white (or clear glitter) for the snow during the long winter
1 green for the arrival of spring
1 tan for the Native Americans who helped the Pilgrims
4 beads for the foods served at the first Thanksgiving
1 red for cranberries,
1 yellow for corn
1 brown for turkey
1 orange for pumpkins




Bracelet making.

Fun.  

Mommy's bracelet.


Playing with Waylon!

Can you tell Waylon was popular tonight?


Roughhousing.  It went a little too far
and Oliver came running to Mommy crying.
They stopped pretty quick when Mommy asked
Oliver if he was ready for desert.

Sweetness.

More Sweetness.


Yum.

Yum again!  




We had a nice time!  Lots of playing, eating turkey, playing and baking!  Happy Happy Thanksgiving!  

Oliver is back with his Daddy until tomorrow!  See you soon little man!
