Thanksgiving turkey project

The boys and I had a fun homeschool Thanksgiving project to do yesterday. We made turkeys!!!!! Well paper bag turkeys!!!! I found a cute project on line (one I thought we could do) and had a go at it. It was fun,messy and best of all we now have center pieces for our Thanksgiving table!!!!!!! Here are photos of our turkey creations!!!!

Thanksgiving Day!!!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!!!! It was just our family this year. I was so thankful to have  all my children around the table celebrating together. My hubby Trent did most of the cooking.He is our chef and I am his assistant, lol !!!!! I made the cornbread casserole and the desserts. I am also in charge of putting the table together. I have been slowly collecting robins blue dishes and serving platters from Marshalls and TJMAX. I mostly buy them when they are on sale. These are photos of my table . I am still trying to find the perfect chairs for my dining room table that hubby and I both like!!!!!!  I am happy that we had a great dinner and we didn't have to travel!!!! I almost forgot to add that this year we had Thanksgiving in our new dining room!!!!!  It was an added bonus because last year our dining room table was set up in the living room while this room was under construction!!! Hope everyone had a great day with their friends and family!!!!

Craft project

Today I helped the boys make a Thanksgiving project. They made turkeys from manilla folders and used odds and ends to decorate them. We have a lot of crafty stuff around the house ,such as felt,feathers, buttons and glitter !!!!!  I brought out my hot glue gun but quickly found out we had only one glue stick left!!!!  Luckily we have an abundance of white Elmers glue!!!! It was a quick and messy project but it was fun and now we have decorations for tomorrow!!!!!!

Thanksgiving Day

We had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner.We stayed home this year.We had a great time cooking but my favorite is setting the table!!!!! I didn't buy anything special for the table .I gathered my favorite candles from around the house and used my pretty dishes that I bought a few months ago.The table is in the living room right now .We are working on the room that is going to be converted into our dining room My table is almost 8 ft. so I also used seating from all over !!!! A settee on one side and a bench on the other and chairs in between.I love to mix and match!!!!!! Here are photos I took while setting the table.
