On Thanksgiving morning, the boys played football with friends from church for a few hours while I wrangled with the turkey.
Our friends came over for Thanksgiving dinner and games for the parents after that. We also held our annual pie baking contest and Kuiipo won. It was a major upset, since either Jay or I have won for the last 7 years. Of course, this was the first year anyone else competed against us..
On Saturday after Thanksgiving we drove down to Jamestown Settlement so the boys could see what it might have been lie for the first settlers in America. We talked a lot in November about the way American Indians lived, especially the Powhatans.
"I tried 100 times I just couldn't do it and I really wanted to be a spy but I tried and tried and tried until I got to be a spy and I'm so happy". All in a day's work for Jays.
We've recently been experiencing a renewed Lego frenzy at our house. Charlie loves them most of all...loves the taste of them, that is.
Making gingerbread cookies. Yum!
