the day after the day after thanksgiving

It’s Saturday and we are now in an all out dash to finish decorating and baking for the Open House. We had a great Thanksgiving Day with our family. Our older son and his wife cooked a lot of the delicious feast, including a wonderful turkey. I really enjoy watching them work in the kitchen together.

My Dad and my sister Paula joined us. We were so happy to have them here!

Great-Pa enjoyed watching the girls make candy turkeys. We’ve been making these for years. Not sure where the idea came from originally, but it is a Thanksgiving tradition that has now been passed down to our grandchildren.

They made a turkey for each place setting.

Snow White gave a pre-feast show by climbing the ladder and singing “Ten Little Turkeys.” Before dinner she sequestered herself in our bedroom, behind closed doors, to practice.

During the afternoon, we worked on the living room Christmas tree. DH put on the beads, I did some of the popcorn and cranberry strings, and the twins put on a lot of ornaments. They had a great time!

Currently, the chalkboard tree is being chalked, the addition hall and aluminum tree are being decorated, DD#3’s tree is being decorated, and I am baking. A lot going on. I’ll post a progress report later.
