Thanksgiving 2016

  Thanksgiving rolled around again this year.  Emery was excited for days ahead talking about pumpkin pie.  Daryl of course had to smoke a turkey this year a long with some prime rib.  We had my parents, Karl, Aimee, Tyler, DeAnna, Brad, and Lady with us this year.  It was a a pretty special Thanksgiving for Daryl and I this year because for the most part all of the children hung out in the basement (accept for Luke).  We had a great time hanging out with family as always.

Daryl injecting the turkey prior to smoking.

Lady pretending she is a small dog.

Tyler giving Harper a piggyback ride.

Luke being Luke.

Me, Emery, and Luke all hanging out.  Luke loves to hang on to my legs all the time.

And then this happened because it's fun apparently.

Brad and DeAnna

Tyler and Harper taking care of Lady.

Harper and Tyler thought Lady would love to lick peanut butter off their toes.  Lady was suspicious, but ate some of the peanut butter.

Aimee drew this picture of Luke modeled after a photo she took of him.  After looking at again I realized that my son is a hobbit.

The wall of turkeys.  The paper plate and big turkey are Avery's.  The two colored turkey's are Emery's, and the black and white one is Harper's.

I got a table cloth you could color which kept Brad and Harper well occupied.

I also had place mats the kids could color which proved to be popular.  This is Harper's.  She wrote she was thankful for God.
