Thanksgiving Traditions

We had a great day yesterday with family! We always celebrate with both families, one for lunch and one for dinner. Wow, are we stuffed by the end of the day!!

This year Grant and Grady made turkeys with apples, toothpicks, raisins, mini-marshmallows, and gumdrops at my mom and dad's house after lunch. This was always a tradition I had growing up that my mom did with my siblings and me. It was fun to watch Grant and Grady enjoy the tradition! I don't know if they liked munching on the food or making the turkeys more! :)

Nani and Grant are so proud of their turkey!

Here Aunt Heidi, you should try this gumdrop! Yummy!

So happy to be together! (Aunt Linda, Grant, and Nani)

After the dinner celebration with Gerald's side of the family, we celebrated Grant's birthday a little early. Grandma made Grant an orange cake that he loved! Grandpa wore an orange shirt, which made Grant really happy! Do you think this kid will ever get over the orange obsession??
We have so much to be thankful for this year! We have a new member in our family and we are already thankful that Gillian will be home to eat with both families next year! Grant and Grady are at such fun ages! They actually enjoy playing together SOMETIMES and they are so imaginative! I have a wonderful husband who loves life and his family! I worship an awesome God who knows how to stretch me and teach me and love me unconditionally!
