Thanksgiving morning the kids all made cookie turkeys. You take a cookie and a mini reeses cup and a chocolate covered peanut and some candy corn and frosting and you got it.
It was easy enough that Whitney could mostly do it by herself. But I was the supervisor to make sure no frosting got spilled.
Whitney holds up her turkey for everyone to see. This is a girl who doesn't like getting her hands dirty - sort of. So she was trying to hold it all tenderly, so I had to help.
Even Rachel made a turkey. Unlike Whitney, Rachel likes to eat sweet things. So I gave her fingerfuls of frosting throughout the turkey making process and she was pretty happy. I think she wanted to eat more of the cookie though.
Here we all stand right by the turkey right before it was carved. My mom uses a special turkey cooker and it does a good job. It was quite yummy.
Whitney pretended to dig into her food by stirring her jello for like twenty minutes. I think she might have eaten a bite or two of the Thanksgiving feast. But everyone else enjoyed the meal.
We played games after dinner. We broke off into girls versus boys and came up with some hard words for the other team to draw. Then the 'it' person had 60 seconds to draw something and have their team guess. And we all played no mercy with really hard words - like white blood cell, or water chestnut, or Mitt Romney. It was an intense game.
We did lots of other fun things while down in Pasco for a couple of days. We played some video games. Whitney loves taking turns.
Whitney got to play some ping pong with my dad. With a lot of help from mom, she did pretty good.
And Rachel spent a lot of time practicing going up down the stairs. We had a couple of close calls while we were there, but there were a lot of eyes to watch Rachel to make sure she didn't fall down.
So it was really fun. Thanks for letting us come visit you guys.
