How Do You Celebrate Thanksgiving??

How do you celebrate Thanksgiving??


Me, my husband, Averi, Aidan, Lake, and Ezra, will be celebrating Thanksgiving with my mom and dad, all my husbands family including his mom, dad, older sister & her husband, their 4 daughters, younger sister & her husband, and a few other family friends. We all bring some yummy dishes and have lunch. It is a great day full of fun and family.
 
We just hope nothing dramatic happens like last year. On Thanksgiving last year, right after we finished eating, all the kids went outside to play. Very soon afterwards, Aidan cam to the door screaming and he was hurt very badly. He had fallen on a tree stump and after cleaning him up and a very careful inspection, he had knocked out 2 teeth and was pretty scraped up! It was quite an event!!!
 

So we are hoping for a quiet, peaceful holiday this year!
 
Post a comment and tell me about your Thanksgiving traditions or maybe something memorable that has happened in Thanksgiving past. I can't wait to read your stories!!
 
This year after eating way too much yummy food, we all went out to the farm and did some skeet shooting. Even the kids were getting involved! It was quite chilly so Ezra and Lake didn't enjoy it too long but we really worked up an appetite for all the sweet desserts back at the house.
 
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
 

Ear muffs were a must during skeet shooting!

Lake and Ezra had almost had enough of the chilly weather. I got one more picture before we headed back to the house.

Happy Turkey Day from the Garrett's!
 
 
In class we created Pilgrim girls and boys. They were decorated according to our answers to some Thanksgiving questions and the math problem that went along with them. This is how some of them turned out. It was a fun activity!

    1. Jacob, it is cool that you have family in Kentucky. I have never been there. You're so lucky that it snowed while you were there. I hope it snows here this year. Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving story.

  2. We went to see my Granny and Papa in NC for Thanksgiving. My Papa has been in a nursing home because of a broken hip. We were able to bring him home for the day on Thanksgiving. It was good to see him. We had a feast with lots of my favorite foods and I played with my cousins outside even though it rained some and was really cold. It was good to see my family. Eli Henderson

    1. Madison, that sounds awesome. Well, maybe not the waiting forever part, but the trip sounds amazing. I loved the pictures your mom sent. I would love to go to New York one day but I would have to drive there because I'm afraid to fly! :) I was actually born in Troy, New York. But we didn't live there long so I don't remember any of it. Thanks for sharing about your trip.
