Thanksgiving 2008

This year for Thanksgiving, the kids and I decide to make some place cards, with the help of my cricut. We decided to make the families in identical characters. So here is the whole gang:

Each person is carrying something different, with the exception of Tony & TJ.

Ray & Kasi are pumpkins, with Ray carrying a cornucopia and Kasi a bowl of potatoes:

The Grandparents were Turkey's, once with a bowl, one with a sack of flour and one with a fork and spoon:

Our Family was the indians. Tony and TJ are carrying a bow and arrow. I have a corn stalk and Gracie has a pot. Gracie and TJ drew their own faces, and TJ wanted a different color for his clothes:

The Ford's were the pilgrims. Violet is carrying a pie, Jenn a Turkey, Summer a loaf of bread and Steven a Musket.

They took us 3 days to make. I think they turned out really cute. We had a lot of fun making them.

After we had finished the last of them on Thanksgiving morning, Gracie and I went to making food. I had her mixing the ingredients to a pie, when she told me it wasn't mixing right. She was looking in the bowl, and I reached over to turn it off, but accidentally turned it up. Thus the powdered sugar flew out and Gracie was covered. We got a good laugh out of it though.

While grocery shopping for the Thanksgiving food, the kids and I came across some light up Rudolph noses. The kids have had them before, but they died...so we bought some new ones. Here are Jenn and Violet trying them on. Violet just loved it!

I didn't take any pictures other that these. I got sick and we were so busy. But, we had an enjoyable time. Meals were at our house. We really enjoyed having everybody over. Violet liked Arrow. He kept trying to run away from her. It was quite funny.
