Thanksgiving with a little Christmas

This was Jacob's project for school. He was suppose to help the turkey disguise himself. This was his idea and he and daddy worked on it together!
 We didn't get too many pictures over Thanksgiving, but here is what we have. 
All the kids were a big help making Thanksgiving. Jacob helped make the pie crusts, Daisy helped make the pie fillings, and here is Eli helping with the pumpkin gingerbread.
 They got to open Christmas presents with gramma and grampa. They couldn't wait for gramma and grampa to open their present from them until they realized they were getting presents, then they didn't care anymore;)
 Jacob's was a big hit. He played with that transformer all day, he didn't take his hands off of it. It is starting to wear off now. I think it was very challenging for him, but he enjoyed it enough not to give up.
 Daisy got some dress up things, a pretty fancy hat and some jewelry.
 We had a nice big dinner that wiped us all out the rest of the day! 

Latest news: Eli is doing great potty training. He is very purposefully using the potty on occasion. Today he went 4 times after telling me he had to go. His accidents seemed to be after Daisy and Jacob got home. But still, great!
Daisy and Jacob are loving all the Christmas movies that are on TV lately and they are excited for Christmas lights, Christmas Tea, visiting Aunt Laura and Aunt Paula and gramma and grampa, and all the other Christmas excitement. Everything is exciting and dramatic right now!
