Our Thanksgiving Week

Family Time:
Our cousins came up from downstate to enjoy a festive turkey dinner complete with all the trimmings. We ate good food and enjoyed the antics of the children celebrating together. Here we are after watching a parade on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We are going to search for our Christmas tree after the parade. My littlest one is fascinated with her cousins bead necklace he got from the parade.
Pilgrims: We studied the Pilgrims in our homeschool history so we of course we had to make the infamous Pilgrim hats. Don't they look adorable in them??
We also got to see daddy and celebrated his birthday a few weeks late. Here he is getting ready to enjoy his cake and our youngest is snuggling up to him. Just lovin on her daddy. He received lots of snuggle time from the two littlest. They were in his lap constantly and even kidnapped him one night and snuggled all night next to daddy.
I went so far as to throw together this Pilgrim costume for my 6yr old to wear to Awana's. It was theme night and you could dress up as something for Thanksgiving. She made a cute Pilgrim. We had to go to the Library first so my son could do his volunteer time and she wore this to the library. I wondered if people realized it was a costume or thought she was some quaker child. I thought it fitting to end my Thanksgiving post with this picture. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
