We all helped prepare the Thanksgiving dinner. I made the green bean casserole and the salad. Kipp made the mashed potatoes. Mom made the stuffing and turkey and most of everything, Emily the Frog-eyed salad( Kipp's Favorite dish) and Rory took care of carving the turkey. It was a good day. Sadly we forgot to take a picture of the final creation, we were too hungry.
The rest of the break we played numerous games, including a few rigorous rounds of Twister. The pictures explain the fun we had. And I do believe Rory was the over-all dominating competitor.
Another game that was played was called Ninja Attack...This is were you stand in a circle and take turns trying to hit another persons hand in one fluid movement. After your movement, you are frozen in that position until your next turn. Last Ninja standing wins.
The morning after Thanksgiving the family went to a plant nursery where there was a wreath making class. We made a beautiful wreaths. This is Kipp's and mine.
After wreath making we went to join my Aunt and Uncle (who live nearby), my 5 cousins and their families for the afternoon. Kipp and all the boys got to go pheasant/quail hunting on my Uncles property. There wasn't much luck that day but it let the boys get out and play.
Now we are just waiting for finals to be over, and Christmas break to come so that we might get to enjoy another holiday together, with family, creating memories.
