Thanksgiving 2014

Look at this sweet girls trying to give me two thumbs up for Thanksgiving! And that smile!! I just love this busy two-year-old!
 Bree is sporting the traditional turkey hair bow that my friend, Amber, made. The youngest always gets to wear it, so it looks like this is Bree last year with the honor!
 Look at those holes in Sadie's mouth! We were watching AFV the other day and they had a montage video clip of kids getting their teeth pulled out, and Sadie had a look of terror on her face!! She had mini-freak-outs with each tooth I pulled!
 We had Thanksgiving for the first time at the Stewart's new beautiful home. The kids were running all around the house and burning so much energy. It was great to have so much room for everyone to spread out. The food was delicious of course! I made cranberry fluff and martian barf (two jello salads I grew up having).
My girls are obsessed with their girl cousins! If only they lived closer by!
 Maddy was in charge (whether she liked it or not) of these two. Bree and Jaylee mauled and loved on Maddy all weekend long. Check out all that blonde hair!
 The theater room got a lot of use, as did the ping pong table.
 Nothing like lounging on Daddy after a big meal.
 I'll let the rest of the pictures do the talking.
 All the kids cleaned up and ready for church.  We were lucky enough to have Brian's parents in our ward the last few months, until the ward split last week. The girls were so worried that Papa and Grandma weren't going to be their grandparents anymore. They are still confused about the whole split thing. Brian was called as the executive secretary, and I am crossing my fingers that I get to be the ward greeter!

I'll write all about Thanksgiving on Sunday probably, but for now here are the pics!

So Much to Give Thanks For!

This is the third year of doing the chalkboard thanksgiving board. It is always fun to see what the girls want to put up there.
The girls helped make some cranberry fluff for the dinner that night. Most of it stayed in the bowl. Can I just say how much I loved Thanksgiving. The entire week was super laid back and Bree really only sleeps well in her crib so I got to spend a lot of quiet time at home while the girls were completely entertained with cousins.
 I love pulling out the turkey bow! It's always a fight over who gets to wear it. It's Bree's turn next year.
 We cancelled cable so watching the Thanksgiving Parade was not nearly as enjoyable to watch without being able to fastforward, but we still caught some great moments. One of them being the Cinderella musical songs being preformed (the girls love those songs!) and a nice Rockette sister moment. PS Don't mind the Christmas decor in the background. I was getting a little ancy during all of my downtown.
 All ready to go to Grandma and Papa's house for Thanksgiving.
 I can't even begin to explain how much these girls LOVE their cousins. They just barely got home from playing with them today and it is 10pm at night. Usually these girls would be crying and dying to go to sleep, but they came home feeling so loved and happy.

The entire crazy bunch. The food was of course delicious!!!

Later that week...these two came along while I took the Towne's family pictures. I sure do have cute assistants!
