Thanksgiving Day 2010

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Doug's parent's house this year. Doug's brother Greg was home from Seattle for only a few days and we wanted to see him as much as we could while he was here. We started out the day at the movie Tangled with Alden & Samantha for late morning movie. Doug's Grandma Holman babysat Clair while we were at the movie. The movie was great and was a good movie to see before we leave for Disney World in a few days! After the movie, we picked up Clair and headed out to Doug's parent's house for a late lunch/early supper. Dinner was delicious! Doug's mom is such a wonderful cook!

Samantha's Preschool Thanksgiving Feast

Samantha's preschool had a Thanksgiving feast during her preschool class last Monday. The parents brought food and then we joined them for the feast. The kids had fun getting to pick out their own food and carry their own plates! The girls decorated bonnets and the boys made pilgrim hats. Alden and Clair joined Doug & I in the feast. There was everything from jello jigglers to turkey to stuffing muffins! Samantha really loves her class this year!

Thanksgiving

Hello Again! We are 2 weeks behind again....OOPS!! :( Things have been busy at our house. Lots of doctor appointments to cram in before the new year and new deductible! :) We've had practices for Samantha's Sunday School Christmas Program, and family pictures, and of course lots of Christmas shopping! We experienced a blizzard here in Nebraska over the last 2 days! I won't be driving anywhere anytime soon! :( The kids and I already have a bad case of "cabin fever," and we've got many more days to be locked inside house! :(

We stayed in Plattsmouth for Thanksgiving this year and went to Sandy. She fixed a wonderful Thanksgiving feast! The night before Thanksgiving, Samantha spent the night at grandma McKnight's house with Auntie Debra. She got to spend the evening with Debra in Omaha doing fun things and they ended up at grandma's house later in the evening. She had a blast! We enjoyed the evening with only 2 kids! On Thanksgiving morning, Alden, Doug, & Clair watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in their PJs. Alden really enjoyed the parade! He loved the giant balloons of cartoon characters and the bands!

We went to Sandy's house at lunch time and Doug's aunt Teresa and cousin Michelle and her daughter Shaely were all there, as well as Doug's aunt Jodi, Debra's friend Jannelle and her fiance, and Doug's grandma & grandpa Holman. We headed for home shortly after supper and met my mom back at our house. The kids played with her for awhile, then when the kids were in bed for the night, my mom and planned out our shopping strategy for Black Friday. We went to bed around 10pm and we woke up at 1:30am to go to Omaha to meet my aunts and cousins for a day full of shopping! :)

Samantha's Preschool Thanksgiving Feast

On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, the parents were invited to Samantha's preschool for a "Feast". We each brought some finger food and then we sat down with our kids and ate a Thanksgiving feast. The kids ate for about 2 minutes and then decided they would rather be playing together. So, the moms (and dad) had fun getting to know each other and watching the kids play. The preschoolers spent the last month learning about Thanksgiving.
