I have been talking to the girls about Thanksgiving and what we should be greatful for. I think they are finally getting it, but then I talk about how we have a big turkey dinner and immediately the teenager comes out in Alexis and she very matter of factly states that she does not like turkey and will not eat it. She cracks me up. We thought that if the kids helped us out with the turkey, they might be more inclined to eat it! 
Here is Jared and Mackenzie getting the turkey out of the wrapping. Jared is showing how the turkey use to walk.
Kenzie is smelling the liver. She squished up her nose and said, "Eww! Stinky!" 
Jared showed Kenzie the Heart as well and decided it would be funny to act like he was eating it.
Once Alexis stopped having her fit that she has every morning, she joined us and thoroughly enjoyed helping with the turkey.
They said, "Please can we touch it daddy?" and so of course we let them, but we washed their hands before and after so all is well. They would say, "Oh cold!" and, "Slimy!"
Seasoning salt is the best seasoning! I use it all the time!
Jared laughed at me for posing; like I was Martha Stewart or something. Delicious turkey, here we come! 
Who has the last laugh, he is now posing with the perfectly cooked golden brown turkey.

Cute! I love the picture of Mackenzie's face when Jared was pretending to eat the heart!
It was fun going to the movie with you guys! I'm still over-analyzing it. I wasn't in awe of it, but I do think they did a good job sticking to the story and picked good people for the characters. What did you think? I'm always super-picky with 'book made into movie' movies, so I think I was judging it a little too harshly.
Miss M. is looking more and more like you every day!!
How nice to include them in the preparations. I thought you were going to Jared's family's house for Thanksgiving?
By the way, your presents are all ready to send. You guys are gonna love them!
Looks like a successful Thanksgiving turkey! Glad you had a great day.
Did Alexis eat any of the Turkey after helping make it? I like that they were touching it. Super cute pictures of your cute little Thanksgiving!
