Thanksgiving 2010-Wanstroms

After giving it much thought I kept coming up blank on what I did for Thanksgiving last year, I finally remembered it was spent at home with Tyler sick while John, Tate and McKenna had gone to a good friends' home. This year it was a little more memorable...at least for me and very relaxing.

The day began with a few snow flurries, but by that afternoon it was beginning to warm up...to 34 degrees, warm enough to melt the snow. We had mixed emotions...but have LOVED having the snow

We headed up to John cousin, Jill and her husband Bart's home up at Lake Stevens. We took some of our favorites: Green Bean Casserole and an apple pie, but mostly indulged in the cooking and slaving of others. We had a great time and the kids Loved playing with other kids. They even took a rondezvous to the backyard despite the sun being down and the cold.

Tate loved the Chocolate Pie-I believe it was the only thing he ate.

Tracy brought a lil craft for the kids. Benefits of school being canceled. :) She taught us how to make turkeys out of cookies, caramels and candy corns. It was a little late to make them when we got home that night, but first thing the next morning the girls were ready.

McKenna found out the turkeys were just made out of candy and not necessarily something to play with. She wasn't very happy about that as they fell apart.

Poor McKenna-not too often do I dare take a picture of that face. She may never forgive me for doing so. I sure do love that girl though!
