This year we did two separate Turkey Days. One with my family a little early, and one on the actual day with the Vaceks. Mom decided that the kids should make apple turkeys. I figured that this would be like cookie decorating with B. You do the actual decorating while he crams as much of everything in his mouth as fast as he can. I was exactly right. They did turn out pretty cute though. B was finished with this activity in about 2.5 minutes (or when I finally made him stop cramming marshmellows in his mouth) . Clara did just about the same thing.
but Emmy was very specific about her turkey and his feathers. They all are exactly the same if you will notice.
For Vacek Turkey Day we headed to College Station where Bob and Lynn rented a house for a few days. Everyone piled in for food and fun. Sutton even did her part by sleeping in the pack and play without waking up every ten minutes. We got to take a break and head to the game, which ended up being absolutely terrible.
The girls did a little Black Friday shopping the next day. But I htink the kids had the most fun. There was some SERIOUS cousin time. Beckett got some boy time in to do boy stuff like throw rocks in the water, run and run and run, and play spiderman/superhero/ninja. He loves being with Jackson and turns into a boy when he's with him. Notice he's doing WHATEVER Jackson is doing in the pics below. They get in a little trouble, but they're having a LOT of fun.
SuSu was like the pied piper leading all of them on runs around the neighboorhood and to the park and lake behind the house. No one managed to fall in the pool or the lake, to get burned on the fire pit, or bit by a snake, so we're calling it a success.
This is my favorite pic. There's no sutton, but she'll get there soon enough!
