Thanksgiving 2014

 Happy Turkey Day!  We made it a day-long celebration at Mimi and Papa's house this year with all the Masons.  We had a nice light lunch, including our fruit turkey, and then a day of playing with Samara!

Andy had a fun activity for us - he had collected pecan nuts and we cracked them open to make candied pecans.  The kids had a great time whacking the nuts with mallets - I think this kept them occupied longer than anything else.

We also made Native American costumes - probably more work for the parents - but the kids looked really cute!

Here's Claire checking the status of the turkey.  We had a delicious meal - all of Mom's specialties and then Andy and I brought a few sides to go along.  Maybe one day my kids will appreciate the wonderful food????  They tried a few bites here and there, but mostly "feasted" on grapes and rolls.
