Thanksgiving in Plano 11-23-2017

I got out of cooking Thanksgiving again this year. I could get used to this 😏. My dear sweet SIL Doris prepared Thanksgiving at her house. Of course the kids were the "life of the party". They were so excited to go to "Aunt Dee's" house. They remembered decorating the gingerbread house and other fun stuff! Doris is so good with them.

Here's little Miss Priss Korin in her Thanksgiving outfit. Isn't it cute?!









This shirt was made by a friend of Vanessa's for Kennedy. Aunt Dee gave her string and beads to make necklaces. She liked doing that.















I LOVE Kashton's shirt! As you can see, he hit the sweets right off the bat. All is free game at Aunt Dee's 😊.


















Cousins catching up.
















The guys catching up.




















Grammer and Korin.
















Kashton putting icing on the gingerbread house to stick candy on it.
















Korin watching Kashton.













Kennedy helping Kashton with "snow" (coconut) for the gingerbread house.
















Korin getting a turn and decorating the gingerbread house.












Kennedy helping Aunt Dee putting cranberry sauce in dishes.



















Helping some more!


















Light siblings.













The finished gingerbread house. They did a pretty good job!













Decorating gingerbread men.
























Kennedy showing off her decorated  gingerbread man











Korin showing her decorated cookie. Kashton couldn't wait to eat his.😲





If you would like I took a video of the kids decorating the gingerbread men. You can see it here.












Kennedy decorating a Christmas Tree brownie.

















Almost done. Just need to add a few sprinkles.



















The "turkey coma". Everyone is stuffed after lunch!








Aunt Dee didn't buy the pretzel sticks this year thinking she had plenty to keep the kids busy decorating (and she did) but Kennedy remembered the pretzels and asked where they were. So being the wonderful Auntie she is sent Kennedy and Uncle Doren to the store to buy some for her to decorate! Aunt Dee is wearing one of the necklaces Kennedy made.






Cousin Bekah has an "Apple" watch and she let Korin try it. She help Korin make a call to Aunt Dee. She thought that was pretty cool!




Kashton and Korin were getting a bit rambunctious so I took them outside for a bit to burn off some energy. Doris is having a water feature put in her yard. The kids thought it was fun to run without shoes over the rocks! You can see that video clip here.










Mom wanted to get some pictures with the greats to send in her Christmas cards. Now this was going to be interesting with 3 super sugared-up kids. (Remember they had candy from the gingerbread house, gingerbread man cookies, brownies and chocolate chip cookies.)

It actually started out pretty good but it didn't take long for that to change.

















With 3 super sugared-up kids and Mother looking at them every time I was trying to get them to look at me, it got rather comical! I think this picture sums it up pretty well don't you think?!  










This one is my fav. I think she should use it although she will probably not agree with me 😉

We had a great laugh.

The food was great, visiting with family great and so were the memories we made. It was another great Thanksgiving to put in the books.

Have a good one!
