THANKSgiving!

Look at all those Pilgrims and Indians!! My life has calmed down a bit so I have time to finally document our fun. It was Brad's mum's idea to dress up this year. It was a really fun idea and great that EVERYONE joined in! Even if the costumes only lasted about an hour....just long enough for pictures =0). Gary shot our turkey....thanks Gary (if you look closely you'll see the gun is still smoking)
Aren't Brad's sisters cute!
Poor little Gwen wasn't feeling well. She was still a good sport to wear her costume. Here she is cuddling with her daddy.

And then, after we ate, came my favorite tradition.... We start at Brad's parent's house. After we are all done eating, we clean up, pile dessert into one car. Send anyone too sleepy to walk in the car with the pies, and meet them and the pies at our house. We walk the 3 miles across town, talk, and work up our appetite. This year Liv walked the whole thing, probably double considering she would run up ahead of us, and then back to Nana over and over again the whole way. I love this picture. These are all of the walkers (minus Bridgette who is taking the picture) Liv is hiding behind the stroller on the left.

What a FUN way to spend Thanksgivings! Love the costumes their perfect idea. I also like the idea about walking too burn off dinner and make room for those yummy pies.
