Thanksgiving Prep...

 Cutest little Thanksgiving feast in Emily's Kindergarten classroom - cutie little kiddos!  There was so much incredible food leftover...wish I'd had a doggy-bag!
 After the kids were done, they got out their whiteboards and started writing letters - all around Mitchell.  Let me tell you - this kid never lacks for attention!  He did start to get a bit overwhelmed at this point and we skedaddled!
 That night JJ came to visit for Thanksgiving (okay - we totally begged him to come and he finally caved ;))!  He had to do an extra-credit project for one of his engineering classes, so we all watched as he used heat, water, steam, and a paint can to show some type of force...reason number 674 why I am NOT an engineer!
 Time for scriptures!  Yes, for some reason reading on JJ's phone is so much better than the old paper copies we typically use.  JJ also never lacks for attention or group-time while he is here!
 Annual - leaf cleanup!!!!!
 44 bags later, these two were quite stinky and sore...I needed a picture with the last stick!  What's gonna work?  Teamwork!
 Thursday morning, Ben and Andy went to play football with the guys from church.  JJ helped me get a few things together, then we took the kids to the park to watch the end of the football extravaganza that occurs each Thanksgiving morning - massive amounts of testosterone!  (Yes, I am just a bit bitter because when we lived in Texas, they always let *encouraged* the girls play too...)

 Getting dinner ready...
 Annie was the Suez chef in our little kitchen - we used every space that we had!
 FINALLY!!!!  Oh, it was just so yummy this year.  We even had enough leftovers that the kids were sick of them.  Although, looking at the picture is making me crave turkey...  Happy Thanksgiving!!!
