Thankful for FUN

We had a fun and casual Thanksgiving together as a family. We started off with getting a Slurpee and chips and then went to the park. We had a fun time playing around together. We even brought Missy! The girls love when we bring her! We came home, had some lunch and then some of us rested while others cooked. :) I got our pies at Costco which was wonderful to have to not make those...and they are so delicious. It was nice to just be us...we didn't have to make everything fancy. Here is our non-fancy Thanksgiving! Notice all the bowls of fruit by the girls (read down further). And Sadie doing the Texas Longhorns "Hook'em Horns" sign. What a true Texan! :) Lucy finally figured out how to do it at dinner! She was SO proud. Except she says, "Rock On!" when she does it! :)The girls loved to get out their Thanksgiving trivets that we made last year. They are so cute and they we so excited about each having one. Sadie's one request for dinner: FRUIT! She LOVES fruit. So we got lots of different fruits and the girls washed them and cute the "grass" off the tops of the strawberries all by themselves. They are such big helpers!The day before we made a rice krispie Turkey. Then we cut out different color feathers and wrote every one's name on one. So during dinner we took turns drawing a feather and then we each went around the table and said a reason why we are thankful for the person/dog. It was fun. So here are the results.

Missy
Daddy said: I love that she cuddles with me and keeps my feet warm.
Mommy said: I love that she eats crumbs off the floor.
Sadie said: I love when she goes to the park with us.
Lucy said: I like to pet her.

Daddy said: Sadie is such a good helper and always helps me run errands when Lucy naps.
Mommy said: Sadie is always so much fun and makes me laugh. She is such a good example.
(Sadie wanted to say one for herself): She is glad she gets to go swimming with Grandma.
Lucy said: She loves that they get to play together

Lucy
Daddy said: I love that Lucy is so funny and silly. She always makes me laugh.
Mommy said: I love that Lucy is so happy and easy going.
Sadie said: I love to get to play in the rain with Lucy.

Mommy
Daddy said: I love that she takes care of my girls and that she makes such cute babies.
Sadie said: I love that she goes swimming with us.
Lucy said: (she was too focused on playing with her food at this point) :)

Daddy
Mommy said: I love that he always makes me smile and he works so hard always.
Sadie said: I love that Daddy takes us to the park.
Lucy said: He dances fun with us.

It was fun and funny to hear what they said. After a long day, we all went to bed. The girls were pooped and so were we! I ended up going to bed before 9!! We then woke up this morning to the girls playing in the rain and eating ice cream. What a great holiday! They had so much fun getting SOAKED! Sadie even got a bucket and brought it inside to fill it up with water, then took it outside and dumped it on their heads. It was so cute because I came down stairs and they were both in their rain coats. Those quickly came off, then their clothes and then their panties. They are so silly. Chris had to go into work for a little bit today. So the girls and I went to some stores and shopped a little. Then it was home for nap time. Chris came home and once Lucy woke up we went to see Bolt. We all loved it. We have had a great time just being together.
