Thanksgiving and Drew Preston's Birthday

Thanksgiving was so much fun this year! We had (starting at the left, bottom) Edsel, Tucker, Drew Preston, Grandmother, Robyn, Poppy, Sully, Ellie, Grannie and Craig. Very fun day.


Pre-turkey frisbee.




















Thanksgiving entertainment.






The boys read a funny list of Thanksgiving "you might be a redneck ifs....."






The table!












Bread dough rising!






My mom and the kids made these adorable turkey cookies.





The Thanksgiving snoozers.







Knitting with grandmothers.





Thanksgiving squash!





Drew Preston and Ellie made pilgrim dioramas for Thanksgiving. They were so clever! This is DP's fence, to keep the deer out of the garden. Ellie's corn is shown from seed to grown plant. She even "planted" her seeds with fish to help them grow, just like the Indians showed the pilgrims.














Drew Preston's 11th Birthday. His friend Grayson spent the nite, we had no school (my kids say, we don't get some federal holidays off from school but we get birthdays!!!), and he got fun presents and brownies as a cake.




We tend to really let go when we sing the birthday song......
















The warriors. Drew Preston got airsoft guns for his birthday and the battles have been raging.





As part of Drew Preston's birthday celebration we asked lots of families to come have an ultimate frisbee game at a park in our neighborhood one Sat. am. The weather was cool and crisp, a little windy for frisbee and except for the sore muscles, everyone seemed to have a great time.





We got some red rags to tie on since all the kids were about the same size and didn't know who was on what team. It helped a lot!





Wait for it, wait for it....





Ninja frisbee.





The "strollers". We have decided it would be great fun to do this every Sat. am. The kids can play and the girls can stroll and get some exercise!
