Thanksgiving on so many levels!

We have had quite the whirlwind of activity here! We have had family from out of town, Elk hunting, trips down the stairs and SO MUCH MORE!







We will start with family...we had Thanksgiving on Tuesday with 17 people! The Saturday before was spent making 11 pies, The Sunday was spent making tons of rolls! My sister-in-law came decked out with crafts for 7 kids! They made turkey napkin rings, snowman thermometers, and Nativity ornaments! It was a bit stressful, but the kids loved it! We had done a test run with the turkey 2 weeks prior, and again it was phenomenal! We used the convection feature on the oven and the turkey was juicy everywhere!








Next are the trips down the stairs...first it was Super Girl attempting to fly down the stairs, she chipped a tooth and got a few bumps and bruises along the way. Then a couple days later, I was walking down the stairs in my socks, and my foot slipped out from under me...BAM right on the tooshie! OUCH! I think I bruised my tail bone! It still hurts sometimes!

During the weekend before Thanksgiving, Tall boy, all his brothers and his dad all went Elk hunting. Tall boy's brother and Tall boy's friend from work both got Elks over the weekend! Tall boy was unsuccessful, but he decided to go with Super Boy the following weekend. Tall boy's friend from work brought his kids. The kids had fun and Tall boy got his elk!

After things settled down a bit, Gma and I went to do dry pack canning. We did SO MANY CANS! Just the 2 of us canned atleast 70 cans! We bought 32 of them! It felt so good to do something that is so important for my family.






Last but certainly not least are some pictures of Super Girl in her Christmas Dress and another of her with a rootbeer float mustache!
