Annual Thanksgiving Turkeys

A few years ago I started something that I didn't think would actually continue, but now my kids won't let me forget....no matter how much I want them to. :) Just kidding, it's fun, just a lot of work. I make sugar cookie dough and we make sugar cookie turkeys for Thanksgiving. I make many different colors of frosting and we frost our turkeys. So fun!!!

This is serious business!

Aren't they so cute? You can see each individual personality in the turkey each person makes.

And hooray! I don't have to make sugar cookies until next Thanksgiving!!! :)

At the Lake

In late October we went for a drive and ended up at one of our favorite local lakes. It was cool, but fine with a jacket. The evening light made everything look so pretty. We had fun throwing rocks into the lake and running races in the sand.

Of course we needed some pics!!

Here are our cute kids!! Getting soooo big!

The fam!

We had a lot of fun! Now we can't wait to go back when it's warm and sunny!!

Playing Catch Up #1

Okay, so how far behind am I if it's now January and I'm blogging about last Halloween??? Yeah. Really far behind. Call it a New Year's Resolution. I'm going to keep up on my blogging. Last October we went to the local pumpkin patch. So fun!!

I love this pic of my cute kids!!

I love it when strangers offer to take our family pic if we take theirs. You can see the very large pumpkin patch behind us. We got some really good ones. And we loved the hayride!

They have a lot of fun activities. The kids love this little train. Me.....not so much. It scares me to death! The teenagers that drive it go so fast and are crazy.

Yes, that is TJ and the kids (below) feeding a llama. They loved it.

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

I promise I will do better this year!!
