Turkey Festivities

My mom, sister Katie and her husband Tim came to visit for Thanksgiving. We had a great time, the kids love, love, love having visitors! Here is a recap of Thanksgiving in pictures.

Night before making pumpkin/pecan pie

Lulu making stuffing

Break from cooking "DANCE PARTY!"

Anyone seen this move before? Yes, ladies, he still has all the moves.

Dance party turns into a jam session.

Watching the parade Thanksgiving morning, totally my fave activity

Tim hanging Christmas lights, we put our guests to work.

Maybe that is why we don't get many visitors.

Dual ladders. Funny though how Simon made Tim go on the higher ladder. Girls helping.

Gammy cooking. (yes, my cupboards have turned into an art gallery. Ruthie likes to hang all her artwork from school. I think it is important for her to hang her stuff and Lulu's too! She comes home and decides where each piece will hang.)

Katie stirring the gravy. We cooked our turkey on the grill to have more room in the oven for yummy food.

**Katie is 7 months prego.

While we were cooking Tim entertained the girls with a paper airplane throwing display.

The girls loved it!

I did cave and make Yorkshire pudding's (shown) for Simon and roast potatoes as well as mashed.

This picture was taken under the dining room table after dinner. Dogs were smart to hang out under there and then the girls decided that would be fun too!

Lulu loved Chloe as well! We are so NOT getting another dog!

After dinner tried to get some pics but "The Dude" would not get in a picture unless she had on her shades.

These are the best we could do with the pics.

Finished off the day with a family walk around the neighborhood to admire the lights!
