Happy Thanksgiving

The boys had their Thanksgiving Feast at school today and sang Turkey songs for the parents, including the Turkey dance, aka the Chicken Dance. The boys both did a great job and sang most of the words.  Jax and I sat on the front row, and Jaxon found Jaeden after the first song and pointed to him and tried to get to him the rest of the time.  Jax was so excited to see his big brother. I of course forgot my camera, but probably would not have been able to take pictures while wrestling Jaxon anyways.  So I fortunately got a few when we got home and included their recent school work. They both made turkeys and had written what they are thankful for...

Jaeden's class wore Indian hats.  He's thankful for school, mommy, everything, house and daddy. Last year his turkey included orange juice, which he still NEVER drinks and gum.

Jayce is wearing his pilgrim hat. Jayce finally cooperated, although it wasn't easy trying to balance on the bench sideways with no hands!!  He's thankful for mommy, junie, grandpa, my bed and daddy.  The bed is funny, but his three favorite excuses heard daily are "I need to take a nap", "My belly hurts" or "I'm tired of walking"  They are all used to avoid work, and he's only 3!!!

Jaxon wasn't interested in showing his face. He's are own special Turkey!!

Glad to see that Bode isn't the only one who won't cooperate for pictures.

Hope you are having a great time with Christy. When we were taking her to the airport she asked Bode if he knew where she was going. He said, "You are going to see Joel and the crazy kids." It was super funny
