Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is past but I still wanted to post it. Amara was my brave one in helping me with the turkey. The other kids took one look at it and said," That's turkey? I'm not eating that, gross!" I made them watch as I pulled out the "goodies" from inside. Needless to say, they left in a hurry! But Amara didn't seem bothered at all by it, she rubbed and patted the turkey with the seasonings and thought it was just great!







Our tradition after Thanksgiving dinner is to decorate for Christmas, the kids are so excited to do that and I just let them decorate the tree like they want to. I used to have glass ornaments on the tree and would stress about them touching it. I learned to just buy unbreakable decorations and let the kids have a good time with it. I want them to have fond memories of Christmas and not memories of a mom that said, "don't touch!"
