Happy Thanksgiving!

I know I am late posting this post, but I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! :)
We enjoyed eating a yummy Thanksgiving "linner" with great family.
Every year we have some sparkling grape juice (since none of us drink). this year Samantha decided she wanted to try some. Needless to same, she was quite shocked by the fizziness!!
After dinner while we were cleaning up and before dessert, Samantha decided it was time for a nap so daddy took her in the living room and rocked her to sleep. I was very jealous of all the snuggles Daddy got!
While we were cleaning up, Uncle Gary had fun with Marc. He taught him that ice cream is really frozen emulsified fat. ;)
To keep with tradition of MY Grandpa Oosta, my Uncle Gary, and Me, Marc had to have a piece of all 5 desserts. :)
One of the desserts was peppermint stick ice cream. Samantha enjoyed it...but got a lot of it on her face.
After dinner, Samantha decided it was time to color a picture to decorate Great Grandma's refrigerator.
Since Great Grandma was not able to attend Marc's birthday party, she gave him his final present on Thanksgiving. It was an I Spy tube. It is filled with lots of colored beads and buried within the beads is a list of about 30 items to search for. Marc and daddy had fun "spying" some of the items.
After some resting time, we all played Marc's new Uno Spin game. While we played that, Samantha played her own "card game".
Uncle Gary took Samantha round the house and showed her all of the "babies" in the house by looking in to the mirrors.
Aunt Sari and Uncle Gary brought a Thanksgiving book for each of the kids. Marc had fun reading his book about the First Thanksgiving and Samantha enjoyed listening to "5 Silly Turkeys".
We enjoyed our day of good food and even better family time. :) We have a lot to be Thankful for!
