Happy Thanksgiving from my turkeys to yours

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

We're going to show off some of our Thanksgiving crafts... 
we made a banner with handprint turkeys

and Genny made a turkey at school

so did Audrey.  This makes me laugh every time I look at it.

and this is our Thankful Turkey.  We wrote things we are thankful for on the feathers to make the turkey.
Each feather has the initial of the person who is thankful for that thing.  It was fun, and I am thrilled that this is the first year that Genny has really understood what it means to be thankful on thanksgiving.

The fair!

We went to the fair.
{hey wait, wasn't the fair a long time ago?  why yes.  yes, it was.  
I'm just getting to it, you see......}
For whatever reason, signs are hilarious to me.  Like this one.

and this fellow!  Seriously.  Look at that face!

The petting zoo was lots of fun.  For all.

camels are funny.

Ok.  Look at the 2 signs on the left.  
Anyone else getting the Veggietales reference and giggling?
Cause I am.

feeding a zebra.  Soon after this, a goat ate her dixie cup of feed.  oh well.

riding the tractors

Viewing mom's quilt on display

watching the pig races

And riding some rides!

rides that make you DIZZY!

This picture doesn't accurately capture how small that airplane was.  I'm not sure how Robert fit in there....  

Halloween girls

Look how cute they are....
seriously.

Halloween was really awesome this year.  For one thing, Audrey could participate!  
and you know what?  she really got into it.
She even wore her hat.  and told us "HAT!"

And look at my pretty Genny!

Our gnome decided she needed a nap between carnival and trick-or-treating...
look how sticky she is!

And even though it's not a great picture, you can at least see Gen's costume!
