Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing everyone a VERY Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!
We are so thankful for the many blessings we have in life....
God, family, friends, a roof over our head, food, and our health.

Lily is super excited about Thanksgiving and to eat turkey (even though she never eats turkey). Her preschool has been doing all sorts of fun things to teach the kids about Thanksgiving.
She had a Harvest Party at school (mom, dad, and Ty were invited and Lily was so proud).
They made mini pumpkin pies today and each student got one to take home.
They made all sorts of Thanksgiving crafts and artwork.
Today they were using turkey basters to put water on little foam turkeys.
They go over all the things they are thankful for and even made
I am Thankful For books...
Lily's book says...
I am Thankful For
Mom
Dad
Ham and Cheese (she RARELY eats Ham)
Jesus



Needless to say she is REALLY excited for Thanksgiving....

Ty just repeats what Lily says (in regards to Thanksgiving).... he has been saying eat turkey over and over...

Today Lily and I were teaching him how to say Happy Thanksgiving... I quickly noticed it seemed to be a good time for a video.....

FYI.........Ty is still about one inch shorter than Lily but he has passed her in weight....... what he hasn't passed her in YET is strength.... I have no doubt that will change someday but for now she can hold her own with Ty and he knows it....

This video has them both saying Happy Thanksgiving (that was Ty's second attempt at it) and then Lily saying she is thankful for Ty

That is hilarious! I showed it to Nate and when Lily tackled Ty his eyes got big and he said "WHOA!" Then he asked to see it again. hahahaha!! Happy Thanksgiving to your family too!

Thank you for sharing this moment of joy in your household! We are thankful that Lily and Ty are happy and healthy - although Ty may not have been in such good shape after this tackle!
