Thanksgiving Overload!

 Enjoying the nice, quiet Thanksgiving morning!

 I'm so thankful for these two.

 3 extra turkeys stayed the night with us . . .

 So Thanksgiving morning was full of fun . . .

 And silly pictures!

 I saw these props online and had to make them!

 

 Needing more table space is a good "problem" to have! 

 We had many Thanksgiving games planned for the day!  

First up was to guess how many candies in the Christmas tree!

Uncle Rod guessed right on the number - 435!

 Jumped in the photo booth fun with my honey!

  

 Had to force Uncle Rod to take a picture but it was worth it! 

 Next game was Roll a Turkey!

 Also known as - keeping kids busy while we cook the food!

 Then there were word searches, coloring by number, mazes and more!

 Ready to say Grace for our wonderful meal and family to share it with!

 Then the Scott family joined in the photo fun!

 Aunt Shelle and her turkeys!

  After eating dessert, we played a few rounds of Thanksgiving BINGO!  

   

 The winners won lots of fun coloring book and activities for prizes!

 And we can't have a family holiday without Pin the feather on the turkey!

 Making sure Tucker can't see before we spin him!

  Now that I think about it . . . Tucker did win!  Hmmmm . . .  

We are indeed thankful for our family!

 After everyone took a quick nap (except me and Matt!) we played Googly Eyes with the kiddos!

 Love the friendship of these two!

  

 Then there were a couple of competitive hands of Uno!

 Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Rod came back for dinner that night so we taught Madi how to play Mexican Train with us after we ate.

  We've played several times since then and she can hold her own! 

So very thankful for time spent with our family!

Thanksgiving Eve!

 We like to spread out the holiday fun around here!

 So Thanksgiving Eve (as Madi likes to call it!) we all met at Aunt Shelle's house for games, tacos and a little Christmas decorating.

 We all helped get their tree up and decorated!

 Then it was outside for the Turkey Trot!

 They each ran the Turkey Trot as we timed them.

  Over the broom, through the hula hoop, jumping jack off the stool, zigzag, . . .

 Run back and forth then run backwards, jump over the cooler, . . .

 Bop the ball three times and then toss it back through the hoop!

  I think they all ran it at least 3 times trying to beat their best time!

 Then we had a little turkey hunt inside . . .

 They had a paper with turkeys labeled 1 through 12 and they had to find those turkeys hidden around the house.

 Some were harder to find than others! 

  Tucker was laughing when Madi couldn't find number 6 and it was right beside him and her on the couch.

 Maci found all the low ones right away!

 Some were trickier than I thought so the hunt lasted quite a while!

 The hunt is over.  All the turkeys were found!

 We ate yummy tacos then tried out the new game Aunt Shelle bought Pie in the Face!

 No strategy, no logic . . . just plain fun!

 Such a simple game for how much fun we had!  Everyone agreed it was the perfect game to play on Thanksgiving Eve!
