"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

Thanksgiving

Gammy had a wonderful pre-Thanksgiving snack for the kids to make.  It was Thanksgiving turkey cookies.  The were fun for the kids to make and enjoy to tie them over before the big meal. 


Here is how the cookie turned out.


Laken helped Gammy make the rolls.



And Grandpa carved the bird.  Then, we all feasted and needed to rest before we ate pie.  At 2:30 am I headed to the outlets to score some deals at Carters and The Children's Place.  Then, was at Walmart by 3:30 am to wait for the deals to be unwrapped at 5:00 am.  Stood in line forever to check out.  Headed over to Gamestop and stood in another crazy line to checkout.  Then, headed up to Gammy's with Laken to stand in lines at Kohl's, Best Buy and Joann Fabrics.  We feasted at Good Earth for lunch.  Played at Gammy's for a bit.  Then, headed to Braeden's scrimmage and finally, home were I found my feet to be swollen and very itchy.
